SUBCELLULAR LOCALIZATION	plasma membrane

	intracellular,nucleus,nucleoplasm

basic FUNCTION	participates in both nuclear and mitochondrial DNA maintenance
	interacting with DNA polymerase gamma and stimulating its activity
	endonuclease/helicase participatING in eukaryotic DNA transactions including cleavage of long flaps generated during Okazaki fragment processing
	having a nuclease activity that does not require, and in fact can create, 5prime single-stranded DNA ends
	potential cross-talk between DNA2- and EXO1-dependent resection pathways
	processing intermediate 5' flap structures occuring in DNA replication long-patch base excision repair in mitochondria
	in mitochondria, participates in the removal of RNA primers during mtDNA replication
	critical for long-patch base-excision repair (LP-BER), the predominant pathway for repairing small DNA lesions induced by oxidation, alkylation, and spontaneous hydrolysis
	plays a role in DNA replication that is distinct from FEN1 and Okazaki fragment maturation
	DNA2 cleavage of regressed nascent strands prevents fork reversal and thus stabilizes stalled forks to maintain genome stability during replication stress
	multitasking protein involved in DNA replication and recombinational repair, and it is important for preservation of genomic stability
	may represent a new mediator of the interplay between homology-directed repair (HDR)and the Fanconi anemia/BRCA pathway
	shows partial redundancy for the replication checkpoint with checkpoint initiators RAD9-RAD1-HUS1
	DNA2 reduces replication stress at telomeres, thereby preserving genome stability and suppressing cancer development, and that this may involve, at least in part, nucleolytic processing of telomeric G4
	functions as both a helicase and a nuclease and plays a role in DNA repair and replication
	DNA2-mediated resection is a major mechanism for the repair of DSBs with 5prime adducts
	DNA2 nuclease-helicase maintains genomic integrity by processing DNA double-strand breaks, Okazaki fragments and stalled replication forks

	ATP binding

protein	with FEN1, DNA2 is thought to be involved in the repair of oxidative lesions in DNA molecules
	interacts with POLG and stimulates its catalytic activity
	DNA2 associates with the replisome protein WDHD1 in a cell cycle-dependent manner
	ATR pathway targets the DNA2 nuclease to process stalled forks and counteract fork reversal
	DNA2 interacts with FANCD2, and cisplatin induces FANCD2 ubiquitylation even in the absence of DNA2
	WRN and DNA2 interact physically and coordinate their enzymatic activities to mediate 5'-3' DNA end resection in a reaction dependent on RPA1
	WRN and BLM act epistatically with DNA2 to promote the long-range resection of double strand break ends in human cells
	multifaceted role of the TOP3A-RMI1-RMI2 ensemble and of DNA2 in the DNA resection reaction
	DNA2 nuclease and WRN ATPase activities functionally interact to degrade reversed replication forks and promote replication restart, thus preventing aberrant processing of unresolved replication intermediates
	RECQL limits DNA2 activity by preventing extensive nascent strand degradation
	flexibly-tethered DNA2-RPA1 interaction that recruits DNA2 to RPA1-coated DNA
	DNA2 motor promotes the enzyme capacity to degrade dsDNA in conjunction with BLM or WRN and thus promote the repair of broken DNA
	WRN participates in one of the two alternative long-range resection pathways mediated by DNA2 or EXO1
