Slx1-Slx4 complex

id: GO:0033557
name: Slx1-Slx4 complex
namespace: cellular_component
type: go
obsolete: False

Description: A heterodimeric protein complex that possesses an endonuclease activity that specifically cleaves certain types of branched DNA structures; because such structures often form during the replication ribosomal DNA (rDNA) repeats, the complex plays a role in the maintenance of rDNA. The subunits are known as Slx1 and Slx 4 in budding and fission yeasts, and are conserved in eukaryotes.
