forkhead associated (FHA) domain found in aprataxin and similar proteins; Aprataxin (EC 3.6.1.71/EC 3.6.1.72), also called forkhead-associated domain histidine triad-like protein (FHA-HIT), is a DNA-binding protein involved in single-strand DNA break repair, double-strand DNA break repair, and base excision repair. It 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. It can also hydrolyze adenosine 5'-monophosphoramidate (AMP-NH(2)) and diadenosine tetraphosphate (AppppA), but with lower catalytic activity. Likewise, it catalyzes the release of 3'-linked guanosine (DNAppG) and inosine (DNAppI) from DNA but has higher specific activity with 5'-linked adenosine (AppDNA). Mutations in the gene APTX have been associated with ataxia-ocular apraxia. Aprataxin contains an FHA domain at its N-terminus. The FHA domain is a small phosphopeptide recognition module.

polynucleotide 5'-kinase 3'-phosphatase; This model represents the metazoan 5'-polynucleotide-kinase-3'-phosphatase, PNKP, which is believed to be involved in repair of oxidative DNA damage. Removal of 3' phosphates is essential for the further processing of the break by DNA polymerases. The central phosphatase domain is a member of the IIIA subfamily (TIGR01662) of the haloacid dehalogenase (HAD) superfamily of aspartate-nucleophile hydrolases. As is common in this superfamily, the enzyme is magnesium dependent. A difference between this enzyme and other HAD-superfamily phosphatases is in the third conserved catalytic motif which usually contains two conserved aspartate residues believed to be involved in binding the magnesium ion. Here, the second aspartate is replaced by a conserved arginine residue which may indicate an interaction with the phosphate backbone of the substrate. Very close relatives of this domain are also found separate from the N- and C-terminal domains seen here, as in the 3'-phosphatase found in plants. The larger family of these domains is described by TIGR01664. Outside of the phosphatase domain is a P-loop ATP-binding motif associated with the kinase activity. The entry for the mouse homolog appears to be missing a large piece of sequence corresponding to the first conserved catalytic motif of the phosphatase domain as well as the conserved threonine of the second motif. Either this is a sequencing artifact or this may represent a pseudo- or non-functional gene. Note that the EC number for the kinase function is: 2.7.1.78

Scavenger mRNA decapping enzyme C-term binding; This family consists of several scavenger mRNA decapping enzymes (DcpS) and is the C-terminal region. DcpS is a scavenger pyrophosphatase that hydrolyses the residual cap structure following 3' to 5' decay of an mRNA. The association of DcpS with 3' to 5' exonuclease exosome components suggests that these two activities are linked and there is a coupled exonucleolytic decay-dependent decapping pathway. The C-terminal domain contains a histidine triad (HIT) sequence with three histidines separated by hydrophobic residues. The central histidine within the DcpS HIT motif is critical for decapping activity and defines the HIT motif as a new mRNA decapping domain, making DcpS the first member of the HIT family of proteins with a defined biological function.

forkhead associated (FHA) domain found in aprataxin, bifunctional polynucleotide phosphatase/kinase (PNKP), aprataxin and PNK-like factor (APLF), and similar proteins; The family includes aprataxin, PNKP, and APLF. Aprataxin (EC 3.6.1.71/EC 3.6.1.72), also called forkhead-associated domain histidine triad-like protein (FHA-HIT), is a DNA-binding protein involved in single-strand DNA break repair, double-strand DNA break repair, and base excision repair. It 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. It can also hydrolyze adenosine 5'-monophosphoramidate (AMP-NH(2)) and diadenosine tetraphosphate (AppppA), but with lower catalytic activity. Likewise, it catalyzes the release of 3'-linked guanosine (DNAppG) and inosine (DNAppI) from DNA but has higher specific activity with 5'-linked adenosine (AppDNA). PNKP (EC 3.1.3.32/EC 2.7.1.78), also called DNA 5'-kinase/3'-phosphatase, or polynucleotide kinase-3'-phosphatase, plays a key role in the repair of DNA damage, functioning as part of both the non-homologous end-joining (NHEJ) and base excision repair (BER) pathways. Through its two catalytic activities, PNKP ensures that DNA termini are compatible with extension and ligation by either removing 3'-phosphates from, or by phosphorylating 5'-hydroxyl groups on, the ribose sugar of the DNA backbone. APLF, also called apurinic-apyrimidinic endonuclease APLF, PNK and APTX-like FHA domain-containing protein, or XRCC1-interacting protein 1 (XIP1), is a novel apurinic-apyrimidinic (AP) endonuclease and 3'-5' exonuclease with conserved zinc-finger-like motifs involved in single-strand and double-strand DNA break repair. It is recruited to sites of DNA damage through interaction with poly(ADP-ribose), a polymeric post-translational modification synthesized transiently at sites of chromosomal damage to accelerate DNA strand break repair reactions. It can introduce nicks at hydroxyuracil and other types of pyrimidine base damage. Together with PARP3, APLF promotes the retention of the LIG4-XRCC4 complex on chromatin and accelerate DNA ligation during non-homologous end-joining (NHEJ). Members of this family contain an FHA domain at their N-terminus. The FHA domain is a small phosphopeptide recognition module.
