Ribonucleoside monophosphates (rNMPs) mis-incorporated during DNA replication are removed by RNase H2-dependent excision repair or by topoisomerase I (Top1)-catalyzed cleavage. The cleavage of rNMPs by Top1 produces 3' ends harboring terminal adducts, such as 2', 3'-cyclic phosphate or Top1 cleavage complex (Top1cc), and leads to frequent mutagenesis and DNA damage checkpoint induction. We surveyed a range of candidate enzymes from Saccharomyces cerevisiae for potential roles in Top1-dependent genomic rNMP removal. Genetic and biochemical analyses reveal that Apn2 resolves phosphotyrosine-DNA conjugates, terminal 2', 3'-cyclic phosphates, and their hydrolyzed products. APN2 also suppresses 2-base pair (bp) slippage mutagenesis in RNH201-deficient cells. Our results define additional activities of Apn2 in resolving a wide range of 3' end blocks and identify a role for Apn2 in maintaining genome integrity during rNMP repair.
