Role of RNase H1 in DNA repair: removal of single ribonucleotide misincorporated into DNA in collaboration with RNase H2

Several RNases H1 cleave the RNA-DNA junction of Okazaki fragment-like RNA-DNA/DNA substrate. This activity, termed 3’-junction ribonuclease (3’-JRNase) activity, is different from the 5’-JRNase activity of RNase H2 that cleaves the 5’-side of the ribonucleotide of the RNA-DNA junction and is requir...
