Neil2

Protein FULL name:

endonuclease VIII-like 2 [Mus musculus].


Neil2 (Mus musculus) is product of expression of Neil2 gene.






FUNCTION: Involved in base excision repair of DNA damaged by oxidation or by mutagenic agents. Has DNA glycosylase activity towards 5-hydroxyuracil and other oxidized derivatives of cytosine with a preference for mismatched double stranded DNA (DNA bubbles). Has low or no DNA glycosylase activity towards thymine glycol, 2-hydroxyadenine, hypoxanthine and 8-oxoguanine. Has AP (apurinic/apyrimidinic) lyase activity and introduces nicks in the DNA strand. Cleaves the DNA backbone by beta-delta elimination to generate a single-strand break at the site of the removed base with both 3'- and 5'-phosphates (By similarity).

CATALYTIC ACTIVITY: Removes damaged bases from DNA, leaving an abasic site.

CATALYTIC ACTIVITY: The C-O-P bond 3' to the apurinic or apyrimidinic site in DNA is broken by a beta-elimination reaction, leaving a 3'-terminal unsaturated sugar and a product with a terminal 5'-phosphate.

ENZYME REGULATION: Acetylation of Lys-50 leads to loss of DNA nicking activity (By similarity).

SUBUNIT: Binds EP300 (By similarity).

SUBCELLULAR LOCATION: Nucleus (By similarity).

DOMAIN: The zinc-finger domain is important for DNA binding.

SIMILARITY: Belongs to the FPG family.

SIMILARITY: Contains 1 FPG-type zinc finger.
