Slx1 and Slx4 subunits are required in vitro and in vivo. (A,
left) The Y substrate was incubated with 0, 10, 100, or 1000 fmole of
Slx1 (Slx1 lanes), Slx4 (Slx4 lanes), Slx1 and Slx4 that had been preincubated
on ice for 30 min (Slx1 + Slx4), or the copurified Slx1–4 complex
(Complex). The reaction products were then analyzed by native gel
electrophoresis. Cleavage products are indicated by a lowercase letter at the
right. (Right) Schematic diagram illustrating the sites of
cleavage giving rise to the indicated products. (B) Strains of the
indicated genotype were spotted in 10-fold serial dilutions on YPD plates or
YPD plates containing the indicated concentrations of MMS. The plates were
photographed following 3 d of growth at 30°C.
