The SLX1-SLX4 endonuclease required for homologous recombination and DNA repair in eukaryotic cells cleaves a variety of branched DNA structures. The nuclease subunit SLX1 is activated by association with a scaffolding protein SLX4. At the present time, little is known about the structure of SLX1-SLX4 or its mechanism of action. Here, we report the structural insights into SLX1-SLX4 by detailing the crystal structure of Candida glabrata (Cg) Slx1 alone and in combination with the C-terminal region of Slx4. The structure of Slx1 reveals a compact arrangement of the GIY-YIG nuclease and RING domains, which is reinforced by a long α helix. Slx1 forms a stable homodimer that blocks its active site. Slx1-Slx4 interaction is mutually exclusive with Slx1 homodimerization, suggesting a mechanism for Slx1 activation by Slx4. Structural insights into the Slx1 nuclease and Slx1-Slx4 heterodimer Slx1 forms a stable homodimer in which the active site is blocked Slx1 homodimerization and interaction with Slx4 are mutually exclusive Conversion of Slx1 homodimer to Slx1-Slx4 heterodimer is proposed to activate Slx1 The SLX1-SLX4 endonuclease cleaves branched DNA structures and has critical roles in DNA replication, recombination, and repair. Gaur et al. report structures for yeast Slx1 alone and in complex with the C-terminal domain of Slx4. These studies reveal a potential regulatory mechanism for the nuclease activity of Slx1.
