    The binding of SLX4IP to both SLX4 and XPF-ERCC1 not only is vital for maintaining the stability of SLX4IP protein, but also promotes the interaction between SLX4 and XPF-ERCC1, especially after DNA damage. Collectively, these results demonstrate a new regulatory role for SLX4IP in maintaining an efficient SLX4-XPF-ERCC1 complex in interstrand crosslinks (ICLs) repair.

    SLX4IP acts with SLX4 and XPF-ERCC1 to promote interstrand crosslink repair.

    Using RNAi or FA-P cells complemented with SLX4 mutants that abrogate interaction with MUS81 or SLX1, we show that SLX4 cooperates with MUS81 to introduce DSBs after replication stress but also counteracts pathological targeting of demised forks by GEN1.

    Findings propose a risk variant with high penetrance on the haplotype spanning SLX4/FANCP to be functionally associated to BC predisposition via decreased repair capacity and suggest this variant is carried by a fraction of these haplotypes that is enriched in early onset BC cases.

    A low-frequency haplotype spanning SLX4/FANCP constitutes a new risk locus for early-onset breast cancer (<60 years) and is associated with reduced DNA repair capacity.

    Data suggest that dimeric GEN1 binds with high affinity/selectivity to Holliday junctions, introducing two symmetrical hydrolytic cleavages of phosphodiester backbone; at present, less is known about SLX1-SLX4-MUS81-EME1 resolving enzyme complex. (GEN1 = Holliday junction 5' flap endonuclease; SLX = structure-specific endonuclease subunit; MUS81 = MUS81 endonuclease; EME1 = essential meiotic endonuclease 1) [REVIEW]

    Results identified homozygous mutations in FANCA and FANCP/SLX4 genes, both located on chromosome 16, were the affected recessive FA genes in three and one family respectively. Genotyping with short tandem repeat markers and SNP arrays revealed uniparental disomy of the entire mutation-carrying chromosome 16 in all four patients.
