Active on flap (branched duplex DNA containing a free single-stranded 5'-end), 5'overhangs and pseudo-Y structures (PubMed:9874768, PubMed:15077103, PubMed:10364212). The substrates require a free, single-stranded 5' end, with endonucleolytic hydrolysis occurring at the junction of double- and single-stranded DNA (PubMed:9874768). This function may be used for example to trim such branched molecules generated by Okazaki fragments synthesis during replication.[HAMAP-Rule:MF_04140] Publication Abstract from PubMed Maintenance of genome integrity requires that branched nucleic acid molecules be accurately processed to produce double-helical DNA. Flap endonucleases are essential enzymes that trim such branched molecules generated by Okazaki-fragment synthesis during replication. Here, we report crystal structures of bacteriophage T5 flap endonuclease in complexes with intact DNA substrates and products, at resolutions of 1.9-2.2 A. They reveal single-stranded DNA threading through a hole in the enzyme, which is enclosed by an inverted V-shaped helical arch straddling the active site. Residues lining the hole induce an unusual barb-like conformation in the DNA substrate, thereby juxtaposing the scissile phosphate and essential catalytic metal ions. A series of complexes and biochemical analyses show how the substrate's single-stranded branch approaches, threads through and finally emerges on the far side of the enzyme. Our studies suggest that substrate recognition involves an unusual 'fly-casting, thread, bend and barb' mechanism.
