Protein Variants

Protein Variants Comment Organism
C65S mutation targeting the Ref-1 redox functions. Mutant form is detected in cytoplasmic vesicles indicating altered turnover. The endonuclease domain of Ape1 is required for successful mitotic progression Homo sapiens
K6A/K7A mutation targeting the gene regulation function. Mutant shows a diffuse nuclear staining, with a minimal localization in nucleoli. Mutant produces mitotic defects in Ape1-depleted cells, particularly promoting the formation of binucleated cells. Expression of the mutant protein increases the frequency of end-to-end fusions Homo sapiens
N212A mutation targeting the endonuclease function. Mutant shows mainly nuclear staining, with a focal accumulation in nucleoli. Expression of the mutant protein increases the frequency of end-to-end fusions Homo sapiens

General Information

General Information Comment Organism
physiological function isoform Ape1 is an essential factor stabilizing telomeric DNA, and its deficiency is associated with telomere dysfunction and segregation defects in immortalized cells maintaining telomeres by either the alternative lengthening of telomeres pathway or telomerase expression or in normal human fibroblasts Homo sapiens
