Mammalian polynucleotide kinase 3’-phosphatase (PNKP) is a dual-function DNA endprocessing
enzyme with 3’-phosphatase and 5’-kinase activities, which generate 3’-OH and 5’-
phosphate termini respectively, as substrates for DNA polymerase and DNA ligase to complete
DNA repair. PNKP is thus involved in multiple DNA repair pathways, including base excision
(BER), single-strand break (SSBR), and double-strand break repair (DSBR). However, little is
known as&...
