    basic FUNCTION
  • regulator of structure-specific nucleases and with BTBD12 are important regulators of genome stability in human cells (Munoz 2009)
  • in addition to 5prime flap endonuclease activity, SLX1A-BTBD12 has a robust Holliday junction resolvase activity (Fekairi 2009)
  • with BTBD12 have important functions in the maintenance of genome integrity and in the tolerance to DNA damage inflicted by an alkylating agent (Fekairi 2009)
  • resolvase that processes Holliday junctions during homologous recombination-mediated DNA double strand break repair

    protein
  • SLX1A-BTBD12 module promotes symmetrical cleavage of static and migrating Holliday junctions (HJs), identifying GIYD1-BTBD12 as a HJ resolvase (Svendsen 2009)
  • coordinated actions of SLX1A-BTBD12 and MUS81-EME1 for Holliday junction resolution
  • SLX1A, and SLX1B like MUS81-EME1, is required for repair of DNA interstrand crosslinks, but this role appears to be independent of Holliday junctions (HJs) cleavage
  • GEN1 and the BTBD12-associated nucleases MUS81 and SLX1A and SLX1B are essential for the resolution of replication-induced Holliday junctions '
