PNKP, a bifunctional polynucleotide phosphatase/kinase, acts as a 3' phosphatase to remove the terminal 3' phosphate group (3'Pi) at the single strand break (SSB) generated by NEIL1 or NEIL2 beta/delta lyase activity. The presence of XRCC1 is necessary for the 3'-phosphatase activity of PNKP. The removal of the 3'Pi (generating a 3'-OH) makes the DNA with the 3'-end suitable for extension by the DNA polymerase beta (POLB) (Whitehouse et al. 2001, Wiederhold et al. 2004, Das et al. 2006).
