    What's a GeneRIF?
    1. EXD2 deficiency leads to fork collapse, hypersensitivity to replication inhibitors, and genomic instability. Impeding fork regression by inactivation of SMARCAL1 or removal of RECQ1's inhibition in EXD2(-/-) cells restores efficient fork restart and genome stability. Moreover, purified EXD2 efficiently processes substrates mimicking regressed forks.
      Title: EXD2 Protects Stressed Replication Forks and Is Required for Cell Viability in the Absence of BRCA1/2.
    2. EXD2 is anchored to the mitochondrial outer membrane through a conserved N-terminal transmembrane domain, while the C-terminal region is cytosolic. Crystal structures of the exonuclease domain in complex with Mn2+/Mg2+ revealed a domain-swapped dimer in which the central alpha5-alpha7 helices are mutually crossed over, resulting in chimeric active sites.
      Title: The structure of human EXD2 reveals a chimeric 3' to 5' exonuclease domain that discriminates substrates via metal coordination.
    3. EXD2 re-locates to the nucleus following double-strand breaks and thus is unlikely to have a direct role in nuclear DNA repair. Knockdown or overexpression of EXD2 affects the cellular distribution of mitochondria.

    RefSeqs maintained independently of Annotated Genomes

    These reference sequences exist independently of genome builds. Explain

    These reference sequences are curated independently of the genome annotation cycle, so their versions may not match the RefSeq versions in the current genome build. Identify version mismatches by comparing the version of the RefSeq in this section to the one reported in Genomic regions, transcripts, and products above.
