SNM1B, also known as DNA cross-link repair 1B protein, is a 532aa containing nuclear protein belonging to the DNA repair metallo-beta-lactamase (DRMBL) family. This DNA associated enzyme acts as a putative hydrolase and helps in V(D)J recombination and DNA repair of interstrand cross-links of DNA thus preventing strand separation and hence physically blocking transcription, replication, and segregation of DNA. SNM1B has the ability to localize to telomeres through an interaction with the shelterin component TERF2. SNM1B is important in ATM checkpoint activation, specifically after interstrand cross-links damage is correlated with its role in promoting double-strand break formation, and thus replication fork collapse. It interacts with the MRE11-RAD50-NBS1 (MRN) complex and with FANCDD2, further substantiating its role as a checkpoint or DNA repair protein.
