Crossover junction endonuclease MUS81

UniProtKB accession:  Q96NY9

Grouped By:  Matching UniProtKB accession

UniProtKB description:  Interacts with EME1 and EME2 to form a DNA structure-specific endonuclease with substrate preference for branched DNA structures with a 5'-end at the branch nick. Typical substrates include 3'-flap structures, replication forks and nicked Holliday junctions. Plays an essential role in mitosis for the processing of stalled or collapsed replication forks (PubMed:28575661).
