Induces a robust stimulatory effect on the 3'-5' exonuclease and 3'-phosphodiesterase, but not apurinic-apyrimidinic (AP) endonuclease, APEX2 activities. Has to be loaded onto DNA in order to be able to stimulate APEX2. Plays a key role in DNA damage response (DDR) by being conveniently positioned at the replication fork to coordinate DNA replication with DNA repair and DNA damage tolerance pathways. Acts as a loading platform to recruit DDR proteins that allow completion of DNA replication after DNA damage and promote postreplication repair: Monoubiquitinated PCNA leads to recruitment of translesion (TLS) polymerases, while 'Lys-63'-linked polyubiquitination of PCNA is involved in error-free pathway and employs recombination mechanisms to synthesize across the lesion.

Publication Abstract from PubMed Human Proliferating Cellular Nuclear Antigen (hPCNA), a member of the sliding clamp family of proteins, makes specific protein-protein interactions with DNA replication and repair proteins through a small peptide motif termed the PCNA-interacting protein, or PIP-box. We solved the structure of hPCNA bound to PIP-box-containing peptides from the p66 subunit of the human replicative DNA polymerase-delta (452-466) at 2.6 A and of the flap endonuclease (FEN1) (331-350) at 1.85 A resolution. Both structures demonstrate that the pol-delta p66 and FEN1 peptides interact with hPCNA at the same site shown to bind the cdk-inhibitor p21(CIP1). Binding studies indicate that peptides from the p66 subunit of the pol-delta holoenzyme and FEN1 bind hPCNA from 189- to 725-fold less tightly than those of p21. Thus, the PIP-box and flanking regions provide a small docking peptide whose affinities can be readily adjusted in accord with biological necessity to mediate the binding of DNA replication and repair proteins to hPCNA.
