[https://www.uniprot.org/uniprot/APTX_HUMAN APTX_HUMAN] Defects in APTX are the cause of ataxia-oculomotor apraxia syndrome (AOA) [MIM:[https://omim.org/entry/208920 208920]. AOA is an autosomal recessive syndrome characterized by early-onset cerebellar ataxia, oculomotor apraxia, early areflexia and late peripheral neuropathy.<ref>PMID:11586299</ref> <ref>PMID:11586300</ref> <ref>PMID:12196655</ref> <ref>PMID:12629250</ref> <ref>PMID:14506070</ref> <ref>PMID:15852392</ref> <ref>PMID:15699391</ref> 
== Function ==
[https://www.uniprot.org/uniprot/APTX_HUMAN APTX_HUMAN] DNA-binding protein involved in single-strand DNA break repair, double-strand DNA break repair and base excision repair. Resolves abortive DNA ligation intermediates formed either at base excision sites, or when DNA ligases attempt to repair non-ligatable breaks induced by reactive oxygen species. Catalyzes the release of adenylate groups covalently linked to 5'-phosphate termini, resulting in the production of 5'-phosphate termini that can be efficiently rejoined. Also able to hydrolyze adenosine 5'-monophosphoramidate (AMP-NH(2)) and diadenosine tetraphosphate (AppppA), but with lower catalytic activity.<ref>PMID:14755728</ref> <ref>PMID:15044383</ref> <ref>PMID:16547001</ref> <ref>PMID:16964241</ref> <ref>PMID:17276982</ref>

== Publication Abstract from PubMed ==
The failure of DNA ligases to complete their catalytic reactions generates cytotoxic adenylated DNA strand breaks. The APTX RNA-DNA deadenylase protects genome integrity and corrects abortive DNA ligation arising during ribonucleotide excision repair and base excision DNA repair, and APTX human mutations cause the neurodegenerative disorder ataxia with oculomotor ataxia 1 (AOA1). How APTX senses cognate DNA nicks and is inactivated in AOA1 remains incompletely defined. Here, we report X-ray structures of APTX engaging nicked RNA-DNA substrates that provide direct evidence for a wedge-pivot-cut strategy for 5'-AMP resolution shared with the alternate 5'-AMP processing enzymes POLbeta and FEN1. Our results uncover a DNA-induced fit mechanism regulating APTX active site loop conformations and assembly of a catalytically competent active center. Further, based on comprehensive biochemical, X-ray and solution NMR results, we define a complex hierarchy for the differential impacts of the AOA1 mutational spectrum on APTX structure and activity. Sixteen AOA1 variants impact APTX protein stability, one mutation directly alters deadenylation reaction chemistry, and a dominant AOA1 variant unexpectedly allosterically modulates APTX active site conformations.
