ID:SLX1_HUMAN DESCRIPTION: RecName: Full=Structure-specific endonuclease subunit SLX1; EC=3.6.1.-; AltName: Full=GIY-YIG domain-containing protein 1; FUNCTION: Catalytic subunit of the SLX1-SLX4 structure-specific endonuclease that resolves DNA secondary structures generated during DNA repair and recombination. Has endonuclease activity towards branched DNA substrates, introducing single-strand cuts in duplex DNA close to junctions with ss-DNA. Has a preference for 5'-flap structures, and promotes symmetrical cleavage of static and migrating Holliday junctions (HJs). Resolves HJs by generating two pairs of ligatable, nicked duplex products. COFACTOR: Divalent cation. SUBUNIT: Forms a heterodimer with SLX4. INTERACTION: Q8IY92:SLX4; NbExp=10; IntAct=EBI-2370858, EBI-2370740; SUBCELLULAR LOCATION: Nucleus. SIMILARITY: Belongs to the SLX1 family. SIMILARITY: Contains 1 GIY-YIG domain. SIMILARITY: Contains 1 SLX1-type zinc finger. CAUTION: Found in a segmental duplication on p arm of chromosome 16 giving rise to two identical copies of this gene sharing exons with SULT1A3 and SULT1A4.
The RNAfold program from the Vienna RNA Package is used to perform the secondary structure predictions and folding calculations. The estimated folding energy is in kcal/mol. The more negative the energy, the more secondary structure the RNA is likely to have.

The pictures above may be empty if there is no ModBase structure for the protein. The ModBase structure frequently covers just a fragment of the protein. You may be asked to log onto ModBase the first time you click on the pictures. It is simplest after logging in to just click on the picture again to get to the specific info on that model.
Orthologous Genes in Other Species
Orthologies between human, mouse, and rat are computed by taking the best BLASTP hit, and filtering out non-syntenic hits. For more distant species reciprocal-best BLASTP hits are used. Note that the absence of an ortholog in the table below may reflect incomplete annotations in the other species rather than a true absence of the orthologous gene.
