High impact information on FEN1

  • The initiator RNAs of mammalian Okazaki fragments are thought to be removed by RNase HI and the 5'-3' flap endonuclease (FEN1) [1].
  • Thus, a 5'-monoribonucleotide, particularly one that is made resistant to FEN-1/RTH-1-directed cleavage by extension of an inhibitory upstream primer, can be ligated into the chromosome, despite the presence of FEN-1/RTH-1 nuclease [2].
