Function

Structure-specific nuclease with 5'-flap endonuclease and 5'-3' exonuclease activities involved in DNA replication and repair. During DNA replication, 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 enters the flap from the 5'-end and then tracks to cleave the flap base, leaving a nick for ligation. Also involved in the long patch base excision repair (LP-BER) pathway, by cleaving within the apurinic/apyrimidinic (AP) site-terminated flap. Acts as a genome stabilization factor that prevents flaps from equilibrating into structurs that lead to duplications and deletions. Also possesses 5'-3' exonuclease activity on nicked or gapped double- stranded DNA, and exhibits RNase H activity. Also involved in replication and repair of rDNA and in repairing mitochondrial DNA. {ECO:0000255HAMAP-Rule:MF_03140, ECO:0000269PubMed:8288581, ECO:0000269PubMed:8530463, ECO:0000269PubMed:8703932}.

Subcellular Localization

Nucleus, nucleolus {ECO:0000255HAMAP- Rule:MF_03140}. Nucleus, nucleoplasm {ECO:0000255HAMAP- Rule:MF_03140}. Mitochondrion {ECO:0000255HAMAP-Rule:MF_03140}. Note=Resides mostly in the nucleoli and relocalizes to the nucleoplasm upon DNA damage. {ECO:0000255HAMAP-Rule:MF_03140}.
