Application

Application Comment Organism
additional information Plasmodium FEN-1s have enzymatic activities similar to other species but contain extended C-termini and a more internally located proliferating cell nuclear antigen-binding site. FEN-1 homologs exhibit both endonuclease and exonuclease activities in vitro Plasmodium falciparum

Protein Variants

Protein Variants Comment Organism
additional information C-terminal truncation mutant lacking the terminal 250 amino acids has endonuclease activity that is ca. 130fold greater than full-length FEN-1 Plasmodium falciparum

Inhibitors

Inhibitors Comment Organism Structure
KCl FEN-1 retains up to approximately 70.0% of its endonuclease at 0-50.0 mM, between 75 and 100 mM FEN-1 displays a significant reduction in activity and at the highest salt concentrations between 125-200 mM almost a complete ablation of activity occurres Plasmodium falciparum
Mg2+ inhibits above 20 mM Plasmodium falciparum
NaCl FEN-1 retains up to approximately 70.0% of its endonuclease at 0-50.0 mM, between 75 and 100 mM FEN-1 displays a significant reduction in activity and at the highest salt concentrations between 125-200 mM almost a complete ablation of activity occurres Plasmodium falciparum
