[Multifunctional human apurinic/apyrimidinic endonuclease 1: the role of additional functions].
Human apurinic/apyrimidinic (AP) endonuclease 1 (APE1) is multifunctional enzyme. APEI is involved in the DNA base excision repair process (BER). APE1 participates in BER by cleaving the DNA adjacent to the 5' side of an AP site to produce a hydroxyl group at the 3' terminus of an unmodified nucleotide upstream of the nick and a 5' deoxyribose phosphate moiety downstream. In addition to its AP-endonucleolytic function, APE1 possesses 3' phosphodiesterase, 3'-5' exonuclease and 3' phosphatase activities. Independently of being characterized as DNA repair protein, APE1 was identified as redox-factor (Ref-1). Our own and literature data on the role of APE1 additional functions in cell metabolism and on interactions of APE1 with DNA and other proteins that participate in BER are analyzed in this review.
