| Function |
DNA-binding protein involved in single-strand DNA break repair, double-strand DNA break repair and base excision repair. Resolves abortive DNA ligation intermediates formed either at base excision sites, or when DNA ligases attempt to repair non- ligatable breaks induced by reactive oxygen species. Catalyzes the release of adenylate groups covalently linked to 5'-phosphate termini, resulting in the production of 5'-phosphate termini that can be efficiently rejoined. Also able to hydrolyze adenosine 5'- monophosphoramidate (AMP-NH(2)) and diadenosine tetraphosphate (AppppA), but with lower catalytic activity. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:14755728, ECO:0000269|PubMed:15044383, ECO:0000269|PubMed:16547001, ECO:0000269|PubMed:16964241, ECO:0000269|PubMed:17276982}.
|
| Subcellular Location |
Nucleus, nucleoplasm. Nucleus, nucleolus. Note=Upon genotoxic stress, colocalizes with XRCC1 at sites of DNA damage. Colocalizes with MDC1 at sites of DNA double-strand breaks. Interaction with NCL is required for nucleolar localization.
|
| Tissue Specificity |
Widely expressed. In brain, it is expressed in the posterior cortex, cerebellum, hippocampus and olfactory bulb. Isoform 1 is highly expressed in the cerebral cortex and cerebellum, compared to isoform 2. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:11586299, ECO:0000269|PubMed:11586300, ECO:0000269|PubMed:14755728}.
