| Function | Non-catalytic subunit of the structure-specific, heterodimeric DNA endonuclease MUS81-EME2 which is involved in the maintenance of genome stability. In the complex, EME2 is required for DNA cleavage, participating in DNA recognition and bending (PubMed:17289582, PubMed:24371268, PubMed:24813886, PubMed:35290797). MUS81-EME2 cleaves 3'-flaps and nicked Holliday junctions, and exhibit limited endonuclease activity with 5' flaps and nicked double-stranded DNAs (PubMed:24371268). MUS81-EME2 which is active during the replication of DNA is more specifically involved in replication fork processing (PubMed:17289582, PubMed:24813886). Replication forks frequently encounter obstacles to their passage, including DNA base lesions, DNA interstrand cross-links, difficult-to-replicate sequences, transcription bubbles, or tightly bound proteins. One mechanism for the restart of a stalled replication fork involves nucleolytic cleavage mediated by the MUS81-EME2 endonuclease. By acting upon the stalled fork, MUS81-EME2 generates a DNA double-strand break (DSB) that can be repaired by homologous recombination, leading to the restoration of an active fork (PubMed:24813886). MUS81-EME2 could also function in telomere maintenance (PubMed:24813886). |

Background
EME2 forms a heterodimer with MUS81 (MIM 606591) that functions as an XPF (MIM 278760)-type flap/fork endonuclease in DNA repair (Ciccia et al., 2007 [PubMed 17289582]).

Foundational characteristics of cancer include proliferation, angiogenesis, migration, evasion of apoptosis, and cellular immortality. Find key markers for these cellular processes and antibodies to detect them.
The SUMOplot™ Analysis Program predicts and scores sumoylation sites in your protein. SUMOylation is a post-translational modification involved in various cellular processes, such as nuclear-cytosolic transport, transcriptional regulation, apoptosis, protein stability, response to stress, and progression through the cell cycle.
The Autophagy Receptor Motif Plotter predicts and scores autophagy receptor binding sites in your protein. Identifying proteins connected to this pathway is critical to understanding the role of autophagy in physiological as well as pathological processes such as development, differentiation, neurodegenerative diseases, stress, infection, and cancer.
