Q92538

Multifunctional protein that plays a central role in thecellular response to oxidative stress. The two major activities ofAPEX1 in DNA repair and redox regulation of transcriptionalfactors. Functions as a apurinic/apyrimidinic (AP)endodeoxyribonuclease in the DNA base excision repair (BER)pathway of DNA lesions induced by oxidative and alkylating agents.Initiates repair of AP sites in DNA by catalyzing hydrolyticincision of the phosphodiester backbone immediately adjacent tothe damage, generating a single-strand break with 5'-deoxyribosephosphate and 3'-hydroxyl ends. Does also incise at AP sites inthe DNA strand of DNA/RNA hybrids, single-stranded DNA regions ofR-loop structures, and single-stranded RNA molecules. Has a 3'-5'exoribonuclease activity on mismatched deoxyribonucleotides at the3' termini of nicked or gapped DNA molecules during short-patchBER. Possesses a DNA 3' phosphodiesterase activity capable ofremoving lesions (such as phosphoglycolate) blocking the 3' sideof DNA strand breaks. May also play a role in the epigeneticregulation of gene expression by participating in DNAdemethylation. Acts as a loading factor for POLB onto non-incisedAP sites in DNA and stimulates the 5'-terminal deoxyribose 5'-phosphate (dRp) excision activity of POLB. Plays a role in theprotection from granzymes-mediated cellular repair leading to celldeath. Also involved in the DNA cleavage step of class switchrecombination (CSR). On the other hand, APEX1 also exertsreversible nuclear redox activity to regulate DNA binding affinityand transcriptional activity of transcriptional factors bycontrolling the redox status of their DNA-binding domain, such asthe FOS/JUN AP-1 complex after exposure to IR. Involved incalcium-dependent down-regulation of parathyroid hormone (PTH)expression by binding to negative calcium response elements(nCaREs). Together with HNRNPL or the dimer XRCC5/XRCC6,associates with nCaRE, acting as an activator of transcriptionalrepression. Stimulates the YBX1-mediated MDR1 promoter activity,when acetylated at Lys-6 and Lys-7, leading to drug resistance.Acts also as an endoribonuclease involved in the control ofsingle-stranded RNA metabolism. Plays a role in regulating MYCmRNA turnover by preferentially cleaving in between UA and CAdinucleotides of the MYC coding region determinant (CRD). Inassociation with NMD1, plays a role in the rRNA quality controlprocess during cell cycle progression. Associates, together withYBX1, on the MDR1 promoter. Together with NPM1, associates withrRNA. Binds DNA and RNA. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:10023679,ECO:0000269|PubMed:11118054, ECO:0000269|PubMed:11452037,ECO:0000269|PubMed:11809897, ECO:0000269|PubMed:11832948,ECO:0000269|PubMed:12524539, ECO:0000269|PubMed:16617147,ECO:0000269|PubMed:1719477, ECO:0000269|PubMed:18179823,ECO:0000269|PubMed:18439621, ECO:0000269|PubMed:18579163,ECO:0000269|PubMed:18809583, ECO:0000269|PubMed:19188445,ECO:0000269|PubMed:19401441, ECO:0000269|PubMed:19934257,ECO:0000269|PubMed:20699270, ECO:0000269|PubMed:21496894,ECO:0000269|PubMed:21762700, ECO:0000269|PubMed:8355688,ECO:0000269|PubMed:8621488, ECO:0000269|PubMed:8932375,ECO:0000269|PubMed:9108029, ECO:0000269|PubMed:9207062,ECO:0000269|PubMed:9560228, ECO:0000269|PubMed:9804799}. Guanine-nucleotide exchange factor (GEF) for members ofthe Arf family of small GTPases involved in trafficking in theearly secretory pathway; its GEF activity initiates the coating ofnascent vesicles via the localized generation of activated ARFsthrough replacement of GDP with GTP. Recruitment to cis-Golgimembranes requires membrane association of Arf-GDP and can beregulated by ARF1, ARF3, ARF4 and ARF5. Involved in therecruitment of the COPI coat complex to the endoplasmic reticulumexit sites (ERES), and the endoplasmic reticulum-Golgiintermediate (ERGIC) and cis-Golgi compartments which implicatesARF1 activation. Involved in COPI vesicle-dependent retrogradetransport from the ERGIC and cis-Golgi compartments to theendoplasmic reticulum (ER) (PubMed:16926190, PubMed:17956946,PubMed:18003980, PubMed:12047556, PubMed:12808027,PubMed:19039328, PubMed:24213530). Involved in the trans-Golginetwork recruitment of GGA1, GGA2, GGA3, BIG1, BIG2, and the AP-1adaptor protein complex related to chlathrin-dependent transport;the function requires its GEF activity (probably at least in parton ARF4 and ARF5) (PubMed:23386609). Has GEF activity towards ARF1(PubMed:15616190). Has in vitro GEF activity towards ARF5 (Bysimilarity). Involved in the processing of PSAP (PubMed:17666033).Required for the assembly of the Golgi apparatus (PubMed:12808027,PubMed:18003980). The AMPK-phosphorylated form is involved inGolgi disassembly during mitotis and under stress conditions(PubMed:18063581, PubMed:23418352). May be involved in the COPIvesicle-dependent recruitment of PNPLA2 to lipid droplets;however, this function is under debate (PubMed:19461073,PubMed:22185782). In neutrophils, involved in G protein-coupledreceptor (GPCR)-mediated chemotaxis und superoxide production.Proposed to be recruited by phosphatidylinositol-phosphatesgenerated upon GPCR stimulation to the leading edge where itrecruits and activates ARF1, and is involved in recruitment ofGIT2 and the NADPH oxidase complex (PubMed:22573891).{ECO:0000250|UniProtKB:Q9R1D7, ECO:0000269|PubMed:12047556,ECO:0000269|PubMed:12808027, ECO:0000269|PubMed:15616190,ECO:0000269|PubMed:16926190, ECO:0000269|PubMed:17666033,ECO:0000269|PubMed:17956946, ECO:0000269|PubMed:18003980,ECO:0000269|PubMed:18063581, ECO:0000269|PubMed:19461073,ECO:0000269|PubMed:22185782, ECO:0000269|PubMed:22573891,ECO:0000269|PubMed:23386609, ECO:0000269|PubMed:23418352,ECO:0000269|PubMed:24213530, ECO:0000305|PubMed:19039328,ECO:0000305|PubMed:22573891}.
