XPF mediates 3’ flap processing for FEN1-independent Okazaki fragment maturation
2025-10-25
Abstract excerpt
Okazaki fragment maturation (OFM), the process that removes RNA-DNA primers, is a major source of DNA replication stress and mutations. It involves Polδ-mediated DNA strand displacement synthesis that produces 5’ flaps, FEN1-mediated 5’ flap cleavage, and LIG1-catalyzed nick ligation. Recently, we discovered that under stress conditions, yeast cells convert 5’ flaps into 3’ flaps, which are degraded by 3’ flap nuc...
