Sae2 is an endonuclease that processes hairpin DNA cooperatively with the Mre11/Rad50/Xrs2 complex.
Mre11/Rad50 complexes in all organisms function in the repair of DNA double-strand breaks. In budding yeast, genetic evidence suggests that the Sae2 protein is essential for the processing of hairpin DNA intermediates and meiotic double-strand breaks by Mre11/Rad50 complexes, but the biochemical basis of this functional relationship is not known. Here we demonstrate that recombinant Sae2 binds ...
متن کاملProcessing of the human heparanase precursor and evidence that the active enzyme is a heterodimer.
Human platelet heparanase has been purified to homogeneity and shown to consist of two, non-covalently associated polypeptide chains of molecular masses 50 and 8 kDa. Protein sequencing provided the basis for determination of the full-length cDNA for this novel protein. Based upon this information and results from protein analysis and mass spectrometry, we propose a scheme to define the structu...
متن کاملThe type IIs restriction endonuclease BspMI is a tetramer that acts concertedly at two copies of an asymmetric DNA sequence.
Type IIs endonucleases recognize asymmetric DNA sequences and cleave both strands at fixed positions downstream of the sequence. Many type IIs enzymes, including BspMI, cleave substrates with two sites more rapidly than those with one site. They usually act sequentially on DNA with two sites, but BspMI converted such a substrate directly to the final products cut at both sites. The BspMI endonu...
متن کاملHuman cyclooxygenase-2 is a sequence homodimer that functions as a conformational heterodimer.
Prostaglandin endoperoxide H synthases 1 and 2, also known as cyclooxygenases (COXs) 1 and 2, convert arachidonic acid (AA) to prostaglandin endoperoxide H(2). Prostaglandin endoperoxide H synthases are targets of nonspecific nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs and COX-2-specific inhibitors called coxibs. PGHS-2 is a sequence homodimer. Each monomer has a peroxidase and a COX active site. We f...
متن کاملUVI31+ Is a DNA Endonuclease That Dynamically Localizes to Chloroplast Pyrenoids in C. reinhardtii
UVI31+ is an evolutionarily conserved BolA family protein. In this study we examine the presence, localization and possible functions of this protein in the context of a unicellular alga, Chlamydomonas reinhardtii. UVI31+ in C. reinhardtii exhibits DNA endonuclease activity and is induced upon UV stress. Further, UVI31+ that normally localizes to the cell wall and pyrenoid regions gets redistri...
