ID 3.6.1.71 DE adenosine-5'-diphospho-5'-[DNA] diphosphatase. AN 5'-App5'-DNA adenylate hydrolase. AN aprataxin. CA (1) a 5'-end adenosine-5'-diphospho-5'-(2'-deoxyribonucleoside)-DNA + CA H2O = a 5'-end 5'-monophospho-2'-deoxyribonucleoside-DNA + AMP + 2 H(+). CA (2) a 5'-end adenosine-5'-diphospho-5'-ribonucleoside- CA 2'-deoxyribonucleotide-DNA + H2O = a 5'-end 5'-monophospho- CA ribonucleoside-2'-deoxyribonucleotide-DNA + AMP + 2 H(+). CC -!- Aprataxin is a DNA-binding protein involved in different types of DNA CC break repair. CC -!- The enzyme acts (among other activities) on abortive DNA ligation CC intermediates that contain an adenylate covalently linked to the CC 5'-phosphate DNA terminus. CC -!- It also acts when the adenylate is covalently linked to the CC 5'-phosphate of a ribonucleotide linked to a DNA strand, which is the CC result of abortive ligase activty on products of EC 3.1.26.4, CC an enzyme that cleaves RNA-DNA hybrids on the 5' side of the CC ribonucleotide found in the 5'-RNA-DNA-3' junction. CC -!- Aprataxin binds the adenylate group to a histidine residue within the CC active site, followed by its hydrolysis from the nucleic acid and CC eventual release, leaving a 5'-phosphate terminus that can be CC efficiently rejoined. CC -!- The enzyme also possesses the activities of EC 3.6.1.70 and CC EC 3.6.1.72. CC -!- Formerly EC 3.1.11.7.
