Comments [?]

Function Structure-specific nuclease with 5'-flap endonuclease and 5'-3' exonuclease activities involved in DNA replication and repair. During DNA replication, cleaves the 5'-overhanging flap structure that is generated by displacement synthesis when DNA polymerase encounters the 5'-end of a downstream Okazaki fragment. It enters the flap from the 5'-end and then tracks to cleave the flap base, leaving a nick for ligation. Also involved in the long patch base excision repair (LP-BER) pathway, by cleaving within the apurinic/apyrimidinic (AP) site-terminated flap. Acts as a genome stabilization factor that prevents flaps from equilibrating into structures that lead to duplications and deletions. Also possesses 5'-3' exonuclease activity on nicked or gapped double-stranded DNA, and exhibits RNase H activity. Also involved in replication and repair of rDNA and in repairing mitochondrial DNA.
Cofactor Mg(2+)
Note: Binds 2 magnesium ions per subunit. They probably participate in the reaction catalyzed by the enzyme. May bind an additional third magnesium ion after substrate binding.
case <OC:Mammalia>
Subunit Interacts with PCNA. Three molecules of bind to one PCNA trimer with each molecule binding to one PCNA monomer. PCNA stimulates the nuclease activity without altering cleavage specificity. The C-terminal domain binds EP300. Can bind simultaneously to both PCNA and EP300. Interacts with DDX11.
else
Subunit Interacts with PCNA. Three molecules of bind to one PCNA trimer with each molecule binding to one PCNA monomer. PCNA stimulates the nuclease activity without altering cleavage specificity.
end case
Subcellular location Nucleus, nucleolus. Nucleus, nucleoplasm. Mitochondrion. Note=Resides mostly in the nucleoli and relocalizes to the nucleoplasm upon DNA damage.
case <OC:Mammalia>
Ptm Acetylated by EP300. Acetylation inhibits both endonuclease and exonuclease activity. Acetylation also reduces DNA-binding activity but does not affect interaction with PCNA or EP300.
end case
case <OC:Mammalia> and <FTTag:phospho187> and <FTTag:meth192>
Ptm Methylation at #{Arg-192} by PRMT5 impedes #{Ser-187} phosphorylation and increases interaction with PCNA.
end case
case <OC:Mammalia> and <FTTag:phospho187>
Ptm Phosphorylation upon DNA damage induces relocalization to the nuclear plasma. Phosphorylation at #{Ser-187} by CDK2 occurs during late S-phase and results in dissociation from PCNA.
else
Ptm Phosphorylated. Phosphorylation upon DNA damage induces relocalization to the nuclear plasma.
end case
Similarity Belongs to the XPG/RAD2 endonuclease family. FEN1 subfamily.
