Function. Histone chaperone involved in single-strand and double-strand DNA break repair. 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. 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. Also has a nuclease activity: displays apurinic-apyrimidinic (AP) endonuclease and 3’-5’ exonuclease activities in vitro. Also able to introduce nicks at hydroxyuracil and other types of pyrimidine base damage. Together with PARP3, promotes the retention of the LIG4-XRCC4 complex on chromatin and accelerate DNA ligation during non-homologous end-joining (NHEJ). Also acts as a negative regulator of cell pluripotency by promoting histone exchange. Required for the embryo implantation during the epithelial to mesenchymal transition in females.
Subunit / interactions. Interacts with LIG4. Interacts with PARP1. Interacts with XRCC4. Interacts (via KBM motif) with XRCC5 and XRCC6; promoting recruitment to DNA damage sites. Interacts with XRCC1. Interacts (via C-terminal disordered region) with histones; interacts with histone H2A, H2B and H3-H4.
Subcellular location. Nucleus. Chromosome. Cytoplasm. Cytosol.
Post-translational modifications. Poly-ADP-ribosylated. In addition to binding non covalently poly-ADP-ribose via its PBZ-type zinc fingers, the protein is also covalently poly-ADP-ribosylated by PARP1. Phosphorylated in an ATM-dependent manner upon double-strand DNA break.
Domain organisation. The PBZ-type zinc fingers (also named CYR) mediate non-covalent poly-ADP-ribose-binding. Specifically recognizes branched poly-ADP-ribose chains generated by PARP2. Poly-ADP-ribose-binding is dependent on the presence of zinc and promotes its recruitment to DNA damage sites. The KBM (Ku-binding motif) mediates interaction with XRCC5/Ku80 and XRCC6/Ku70 and recruitment to DNA damage sites. The FHA-like domain mediates interaction with XRCC1 and XRCC4. The NAP1L motif is required for the histone chaperone activity.
Similarity. Belongs to the APLF family.

Enriched among interaction partners
Reactome pathways and GO biological processes over-represented among this gene’s 19 IntAct physical interaction partners (hypergeometric vs the genome-wide background, BH-FDR, gene-set size 15–500, ranked by fold). A functional readout of the neighbourhood — distinct from this gene’s own memberships above, and biased toward well-studied / hub proteins, so read it as themes rather than proof.
