== Function ==
[https://www.uniprot.org/uniprot/APLF_HUMAN APLF_HUMAN] Nuclease involved in single-strand and double-strand DNA break repair. Recruited to sites of DNA damage through interaction with poly(ADP-ribose), a polymeric post-translational modification synthesized transiently at sites of chromosomal damage to accelerate DNA strand break repair reactions. Displays apurinic-apyrimidinic (AP) endonuclease and 3'-5' exonuclease activities in vitro. Also able to introduce nicks at hydroxyuracil and other types of pyrimidine base damage.<ref>PMID:17396150</ref> <ref>PMID:17353262</ref>

== Publication Abstract from PubMed ==
The N-terminal von Willebrand domain of Ku80 supports interactions with a Ku binding motif (KBM) that has been identified in at least three other DNA repair proteins: the non-homologous end joining (NHEJ) scaffold APLF, the modulator of retrovirus infection, MRI, and the Werner syndrome protein (WRN). A second, more recently identified Ku binding motif present in XLF and several other proteins (KBMX) has also been reported to interact with this domain. The isolated Ku80 von Willebrand antigen domain (vWA) from Xenopus laevis has a sequence that is 60% identical with the human domain, is readily expressed and has been used to investigate these interactions. Structural characterization of the complexes formed with the KBM motifs in human APLF, MRI, and WRN identify a conserved binding site that is consistent with previously-reported mutational studies. In contrast with the KBM binding site, structural studies indicate that the KBMX site is occluded by a distorted helix. Fluorescence polarization and (19)F NMR studies of a fluorinated XLF C-terminal peptide failed to indicate any interaction with the frog vWA. It was hypothesized that availability of this binding site is conditional, i.e., dependent on specific experimental conditions or other repair factors to make the site available for binding. Modulating the fraction of KBMX-accessible binding site mutationally demonstrated that the more open site is capable of binding the KBMX(XLF) motif peptide. It is suggested that the conditional nature of KBMX binding limits formation of non-productive complexes so that activation-dependent site availability can more optimally support advancing the synapsis process.
