Fen1

Protein FULL name:

flap endonuclease 1 [Mus musculus].


Fen1 (Mus musculus) is product of expression of Fen1 gene.






FUNCTION: Endonuclease that 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 fails to cleave other DNA structures, including 3'-flaps and single stranded DNA.

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: Interacts with PCNA. The C-terminal domain binds EP300. Can bind simultaneously to both PCNA and EP300 (By similarity).

SUBCELLULAR LOCATION: Nucleus (Probable).

PTM: Acetylated by EP300. Acetylation inhibits both endonuclease and exonuclease activity, and reduces the DNA-binding activity but does not affect interaction with PCNA or EP300 (By similarity).

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


NCBI GenPept GI number(s): 46048490
