SLX1-SLX4 structure-specific endonuclease complex Overview

GO Annotations consist of four mandatory components: a gene product, a term from one of the three Gene Ontology (GO) controlled vocabularies (Molecular Function, Biological Process, and Cellular Component), a reference, and an evidence code.


Summary
A structure-specific DNA endonuclease that cleaves the phosphodiester backbone on the 3'-side of the DNA branchpoint of branched DNA substrates including stem-loops and Y-structures, replication forks, 5'- and 3'-flaps, and nicked or intact Holliday junctions and is therefore involved in DNA recombination and repair. It is involved in rDNA copy number regulation and appears to act at the termination of rDNA replication.
GO Slim Terms

The yeast GO Slim terms are higher level terms that best represent the major S. cerevisiae biological processes, functions, and cellular components. The GO Slim terms listed here are the broader parent terms for the specific terms to which this gene product is annotated, and thus represent the more general processes, functions, and components in which it is involved.
