TSNAX is a member of translin family. TSNAX particularly interacts with translin， a DNA-binding protein that binds consensus sequences at breakpoint junctions of chromosomal translocations. TSNAX works in combination with TSN as an endonuclease involves in the activation of the RNA-induced silencing complex （RISC）. TSNAX has bipartite nuclear targeting sequences that afford nuclear transport for translin， which lacks any nuclear targeting motifs.
