Target data Histone chaperone involved in single-strand and double-strand DNA break repair (PubMed : 17353262, PubMed : 17396150, PubMed : 21211721, PubMed : 21211722, PubMed : 29905837, PubMed : 30104678). Recruited to sites of DNA damage through interaction with branched poly-ADP-ribose chains, a polymeric post-translational modification synthesized transiently at sites of chromosomal damage to accelerate DNA strand break repair reactions (PubMed : 17353262, PubMed : 17396150, PubMed : 21211721, PubMed : 30104678). Following recruitment to DNA damage sites, acts as a histone chaperone that mediates histone eviction during DNA repair and promotes recruitment of histone variant MACROH2A1 (PubMed : 21211722, PubMed : 29905837, PubMed : 30104678). Also has a nuclease activity : displays apurinic-apyrimidinic (AP) endonuclease and 3'-5' exonuclease activities in vitro (PubMed : 17353262, PubMed : 17396150). Also able to introduce nicks at hydroxyuracil and other types of pyrimidine base damage (PubMed : 17353262, PubMed : 17396150). Together with PARP3, promotes the retention of the LIG4-XRCC4 complex on chromatin and accelerate DNA ligation during non-homologous end-joining (NHEJ) (PubMed : 21211721, PubMed : 23689425). Also acts as a negative regulator of cell pluripotency by promoting histone exchange (By similarity). Required for the embryo implantation during the epithelial to mesenchymal transition in females (By similarity). See full target information APLF
