The Slx4 protein is a heteromeric structure-specific endonuclease found from fungi to mammals. Slx4 with Slx1 acts as a nuclease on branched DNA substrates, particularly simple-Y, 5'-flap, or replication fork structures by cleaving the strand bearing the 5' non-homologous arm at the branch junction and thus generating ligatable nicked products from 5'-flap or replication fork substrates [1].

Slx1 is a catalytic subunit of the SLX1-SLX4 structure-specific endonuclease that resolves DNA secondary structures generated during DNA repair and recombination. It has endonuclease activity towards branched DNA substrates, introducing single-strand cuts in duplex DNA close to junctions with ss-DNA [1-3]. This is the RING zinc finger domain.
This domain called GIY-YIG is found in the amino terminal region of excinuclease abc subunit c (uvrC), bacteriophage T4 endonucleases segA, segB, segC, segD and segE; it is also found in putative endonucleases encoded by group I introns of fungi and ...
This domain called GIY-YIG is found in the amino terminal region of excinuclease abc subunit c (uvrC), bacteriophage T4 endonucleases segA, segB, segC, segD and segE; it is also found in putative endonucleases encoded by group I introns of fungi and phage. The structure of I-TevI a GIY-YIG endonuclease, reveals a novel alpha/beta-fold with a central three-stranded antiparallel beta-sheet flanked by three helices [4]. The most conserved and putative catalytic residues are located on a shallow, concave surface and include a metal coordination site.
