Target Information

Sensor of abasic sites in single-stranded DNA (ssDNA) required to preserve genome integrity by promoting error-free repair of abasic sites (PubMed:30554877, PubMed:31235915, PubMed:31235913). Acts as an enzyme that recognizes and binds abasic sites in ssDNA at replication forks and chemically modifies the lesion by forming a covalent cross-link with DNA: forms a stable thiazolidine linkage between a ring-opened abasic site and the alpha-amino and sulfhydryl substituents of its N-terminal catalytic cysteine residue (PubMed:30554877, PubMed:31235913). The HMCES DNA-protein cross-link is then degraded by the proteasome (PubMed:30554877). Promotes error-free repair of abasic sites by acting as a suicide enzyme that is degraded, thereby protecting abasic sites from translesion synthesis (TLS) polymerases and endonucleases that are error-prone and would generate mutations and double-strand breaks (PubMed:30554877). Has preference for ssDNA, but can also accommodate double-stranded DNA with 3or 5 overhang (dsDNA), and dsDNA-ssDNA 3` junction (PubMed:31235915, PubMed:31806351). Also involved in class switch recombination (CSR) in B-cells independently of the formation of a DNA-protein cross-link: acts by binding and protecting ssDNA overhangs to promote DNA double-strand break repair through the microhomology-mediated alternative-end-joining (Alt-EJ) pathway. Acts as a protease: mediates autocatalytic processing of its N-terminal methionine in order to expose the catalytic cysteine. [UniProt]
