| PF21136 | Crossover junction endonuclease MUS81-like, winged helix domain | domain |
This domain is found in Crossover junction endonuclease MUS81 from humans and similar animal proteins. MUS81 forms a complex with EME1 that functions as a endonuclease that maintains genomic integrity by cleaving branched DNA structures arising during the recombination. This entry represents the winged helix (WH) domain from MUS81, which shows a recognition helix and a beta-hairpin 'wing' motif and is responsible for DNA binding [1].
