We show here that Exo1 phosphorylation is Dun1-independent and Rad53-dependent in response to DNA damage or dNTP depletion, and in both situations Exo1 is similarly phosphorylated at multiple sites.
Title: Exo1 phosphorylation inhibits exonuclease activity and prevents fork collapse in rad53 mutants independently of the 14-3-3 proteins.
By conditionally depleting lagging-strand nucleases and directly analyzing Okazaki fragments synthesized in vivo in Saccharomyces cerevisiae, we conduct a systematic evaluation of the impact of Rad27, Dna2 and Exo1 on lagging-strand synthesis. We find that Rad27 processes the majority of lagging-strand flaps, with a significant additional contribution from Exo1 but not from Dna2.
Title: Processing of eukaryotic Okazaki fragments by redundant nucleases can be uncoupled from ongoing DNA replication in vivo.
A harmless head-on replication-transcription clash resolution requires the fine-tuning of origin firing and coordination among Sen1, Exo1, Mre11 and Mrc1-Ctf4 complexes.

Preferred Names: Rad2 family nuclease EXO1

NP_014676.1

5'-3' exonuclease and flap-endonuclease; involved in recombination, double-strand break repair, MMS2 error-free branch of the post replication (PRR) pathway and DNA mismatch repair; role in telomere maintenance; member of the Rad2p nuclease family, with conserved N and I nuclease domains; relative distribution to the nucleus increases upon DNA replication stress; EXO1 has a paralog, DIN7, that arose from the whole genome duplication
