Drosophila Rrp1 (recombination repair protein 1) possesses apurinic endonuclease activity, double-stranded DNA 3'-exonuclease activity, single-stranded DNA renaturation activity (Mg2+-dependent), and DNA strand transfer activity. The C-terminal 252-aa region (homologous to E. coli exonuclease III and S. pneumoniae exonuclease A) is responsible for the nuclease activities, while the unique N-terminal 427-aa region contributes to strand transfer and ssDNA renaturation. |

The C-terminal exonuclease domain of Drosophila Rrp1 is required for DNA strand transfer activity in vitro; a C-terminally deleted mutant lacking nuclease activity cannot perform strand transfer, but strand transfer can be restored by providing E. coli exonuclease III in trans, demonstrating that 3'-exonuclease activity is necessary for the strand transfer reaction. |

Drosophila Rrp1 is a class II apurinic endonuclease that cleaves the phosphodiester backbone at one position 5' to the apurinic site, leaving a 3'-hydroxyl terminus that supports DNA synthesis. The specific activity is ~1×10^5 units/mg. Cleavage is specific to double-stranded DNA at the abasic site; the complementary strand and single-stranded substrates are not cleaved. |

Expression of Drosophila Rrp1 in repair-deficient E. coli (xth nfo double mutants) confers resistance to oxidative (H2O2, t-BuOOH, bleomycin) and alkylating (MMS, mitomycin C) agents. Complementation requires the C-terminal nuclease domain of Rrp1 but not the N-terminal domain, and is accompanied by up to 12-fold increase in AP endonuclease activity in cell extracts. |

Site-directed mutagenesis of conserved residues in the Drosophila Rrp1 nuclease domain identified Glu-461 as essential for AP endonuclease activity; Lys-463 and Thr-462 influence substrate specificity of the nuclease. Mutants T462A, K463Q, and L484P retain protection against MMS but not against oxidative damage, demonstrating distinct specificity for alkylation versus oxidative substrates. |

Drosophila Rrp1 possesses 3'-phosphodiesterase activity (removing 3'-phosphoglycolate termini generated by oxygen radical-induced DNA cleavage) and 3'-phosphatase activity. The 3'-phosphatase activity is at least 25-fold lower than phosphodiesterase or AP endonuclease activity. The phosphodiesterase releases a 3'-hydroxyl terminus. High NaCl reduces exonuclease 25-fold but does not inhibit phosphodiesterase. |

Drosophila Rrp1 3'-exonuclease activity exhibits DNA sequence dependence and strand specificity: it is more efficient in purine-rich than pyrimidine-rich regions, with purine-purine and 3'-pyrimidine-5'-purine dinucleotide bonds cleaved faster than 3'-purine-5'-pyrimidine or pyrimidine-pyrimidine bonds. |

Overexpression of wild-type Drosophila Rrp1 from a heat-shock-inducible transgene reduces somatic mutation and recombination frequency induced by oxidative DNA-damaging agents (gamma-rays, bleomycin, paraquat) but not by alkylating agents (MMS, MNU), demonstrating a lesion-specific in vivo role in oxidative DNA damage repair. |

Drosophila Rrp1 has a bipartite domain structure: a highly organized, globular, predominantly alpha-helical C-terminal domain (Rrp1-C274, from Thr-406 onward) and an N-terminal ~399-aa region that is predominantly random coil and asymmetric. Both intact Rrp1 and Rrp1-C274 are monomers. The isolated C-terminal domain retains AP endonuclease activity at wild-type levels but has reduced 3'-exonuclease (210-fold) and 3'-phosphodiesterase (6.8-fold) activities. |

The yeast (S. cerevisiae) RRP1 gene is required for processing of 27S pre-rRNA to mature 25S and 5.8S rRNAs. The rrp1 mutant also shows hypersensitivity to aminoglycoside antibiotics and a reduced 25S/18S rRNA ratio. |

In S. cerevisiae, suppressor gene SRD1 was identified by second-site suppressor screening of rrp1-1 mutants; loss-of-function srd1 alleles suppress the pre-rRNA processing defect, drug sensitivity, and thermolethality of the rrp1-1 point mutation but cannot suppress an rrp1 null allele, suggesting the SRD1 gene product interacts with or regulates the RRP1 product. |

S. cerevisiae Rrp1p is a nucleolar protein associated with several distinct 66S pre-ribosomal particles containing ribosomal proteins plus at least 28 nonribosomal proteins. Inactivation of Rrp1p blocks processing of 27SA3 to 27SBS pre-rRNA and of 27SB pre-rRNA to 7S plus 25.5S pre-rRNA, causing accumulation of 66S particles containing 27SA3 and 27SB(L) pre-rRNAs. |

Human Nop52 (RRP1/NNP-1) is a nucleolar protein that localizes to the granular external domain of the nucleolus, excluded from rRNA transcription sites, and colocalizes with late rRNA-processing factors hPop1 and protein B23. During nucleologenesis at the end of mitosis, Nop52 is recruited at late stages via the prenucleolar body pathway, after fibrillarin and nucleolin. |

Human p32 (splicing factor 2-associated protein) directly interacts with Nop52 (RRP1/NNP-1). Nop52 competes with fibrillarin (FBL) for binding to p32 in the nucleolus. Knockdown of p32 slows early rRNA processing (47S/45S to 18S and 32S pre-rRNA). p32 is present in pre-ribosomal fractions and associates with 47S/45S and 32S pre-rRNAs, suggesting that the competitive exchange of FBL for Nop52 on p32 drives remodeling from pre-90S to pre-40S and pre-60S particles. |

Human RRP1 (Nop52/NNP-1) is required for site 2 cleavage in ITS1 of 47S/45S, 41S, and 36S pre-rRNAs. RRP1 knockdown suppresses site 2 cleavage, and double knockdown of XRN2 and RRP1 shows RRP1 accelerates this cleavage. RRP1 is present in the 90S pre-ribosomal particle and localizes to the dense fibrillar component of the nucleolus in an RNA Pol I transcription-dependent manner. |

S. pombe Rrp1 (ortholog of S. cerevisiae Uls1, a Rad5/16-like SWI2/SNF2 translocase) directly interacts with Rad51, removes Rad51 from double-stranded DNA in an ATPase-dependent manner, and possesses E3 ubiquitin ligase activity with Rad51 as a substrate. Rrp1 also binds DNA and has DNA-dependent ATPase activity. These activities restrict genome destabilization caused by excessive Rad51. |

Human RRP1 acts as an RNA-binding protein that binds nuclear TYMS (thymidylate synthase) transcript and suppresses TYMS expression post-transcriptionally in inflammatory macrophages, thereby reducing folate/one-carbon metabolism and dampening innate inflammatory responses.

In Drosophila, Rrp1 (APE1 homolog) acts as a redox regulator of long-term memory (LTM) in dorsal-anterior-lateral neurons. Rrp1 knockdown impairs LTM formation; overexpression enhances retention. Pharmacological inhibition of Rrp1 redox activity (E3330) suppresses Period and CaMKII expression. Human APE1 redox activity rescues memory deficits in Rrp1-deficient flies and promotes Period synthesis. Rrp1 is required for CREBA-mediated LTM acceleration. |
