    Summary
    Enables enzyme inhibitor activity. Contributes to crossover junction DNA endonuclease activity. Involved in DNA topological change; double-strand break repair via break-induced replication; and resolution of meiotic recombination intermediates. Located in nucleus. Part of Holliday junction resolvase complex. Orthologous to human MUS81 (MUS81 structure-specific endonuclease subunit). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Dec 2024]

    5. Study presents evidence that yeast Mus81-Mms4 endonuclease contributes to cell viability in the absence of functional telomerase. This involvement is not through recombination-mediated telomere lengthening as proposed in humans, but rather through an indirect role involving replication stress. These and other results suggest that Mus81 localization to the telomere may be a promising indicator for telomere dysfunction.
