Abstract excerpt
Okazaki fragments are initiated by short RNA/DNA primers, which are displaced into flap intermediates for processing. Flap endonuclease 1 (FEN1) and Dna2 are responsible for flap cleavage. Replication protein A (RPA)-bound flaps inhibit cleavage by FEN1 but stimulate Dna2, requiring that Dna2 cleaves prior to FEN1. Upon cleavage, Dna2 leaves a short flap, which is then cut by FEN1 forming a nick for ligation....
