Gene Information

human ... MUS81(80198)

General description

MUS81 structure-specific endonuclease subunit is a DNA repair gene, mapped to human chromosome 11q13.1. The encoded protein belongs to the XPF/ ERCC4 (xeroderma pigmentosum, complementation group F) protein family.

Biochem/physiol Actions

MUS81 plays a vital role in the metabolism of replication intermediates. In mammals, MUS81 interacts with the non-catalytic subunits essential meiotic structure-specific endonuclease (EME) 1 or EME 2 to form heterodimer complexes. These complexes have the ability to cleave replication forks (RFs) in vitro. Downregulated expression of Mus81 enhances the sensitivity of colon cancer cells to chemotherapeutic drugs by inducing S phase arrest and apoptosis through CHK1 pathway activation.

The inhibition of Mus81, a critical DNA repair gene, is recently related to the chemosensitivity of several human cancer cells such as hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) cells. However, the role of Mus81 knockdown in chemotherapy response of colon cancer cells remains

While DNA replication and mitosis occur in a sequential manner, precisely how cells maintain their temporal separation and order remains elusive. Here, we unveil a double-negative feedback loop between replication intermediates and an M-phase-specific structure-selective endonuclease, MUS81-SLX4, which renders DNA

Mus81, a fission yeast protein related to the XPF subunit of ERCC1-XPF nucleotide excision repair endonuclease, is essential for meiosis and important for coping with stalled replication forks. These processes require resolution of X-shaped DNA structures known as Holliday junctions.
