General annotation (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 structurs 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. Ref.4 Ref.8 Ref.9 Ref.12 Ref.13 Ref.14 Ref.15 Ref.16

Cofactor

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 By similarity.

Subunit structure

Interacts with PCNA (POL30). Three molecules of RAD27 bind to one PCNA trimer with each molecule binding to one PCNA monomer. PCNA stimulates the nuclease activity without altering cleavage specificity. Ref.7

Subcellular location

Nucleusnucleolus. Nucleusnucleoplasm. Mitochondrion. Note: Resides mostly in the nucleoli and relocalizes to the nucleoplasm upon DNA damage. Ref.10 Ref.15

Post-translational modification

Phosphorylated. Phosphorylation upon DNA damage induces relocalization to the nuclear plasma By similarity. HAMAP-Rule MF_03140

Miscellaneous

Present with 6120 molecules/cell in log phase SD medium. HAMAP-Rule MF_03140

Sequence similarities

Belongs to the XPG/RAD2 endonuclease family. FEN1 subfamily.

Experimental info

Mutagenesis671G → S: Deficient in double and single flap endonuclease cleavage and exonucleolytic cleavage. Ref.7 Ref.12
Mutagenesis1761E → A: Deficient in exonuclease and gap endonuclease activities, but retains almost all of its flap endonuclease activity. Ref.7 Ref.13
Mutagenesis2401G → D: Can only cleave double-flap structures with a 3' 1-nucleotide tail. Has no exonuclease activity. Ref.7 Ref.8
Mutagenesis346 – 3472FF → GA: Reduces interaction with POL30 more than 100 fold. Ref.7
