Distinct end cleaning activities of various enzymes. APE1 removes 3′ blocking PUA (boxed in red in A) while PNK removes 3′ phosphate (boxed in red in B). Polβ removes 5′ blocking dRP (boxed in red in C). Aprataxin hydrolyzes 5′-5′ linkage of AMP to the 5′ phosphate (D). The dRP lyase activity Polβ requires the aldehyde group.
