Tetrameric restriction enzymes: expansion to the GIY-YIG nuclease family
The GIY-YIG nuclease domain was originally identified in homing endonucleases and enzymes involved in DNA repair and recombination. Many of the GIY-YIG family enzymes are functional as monomers. We show here that the Cfr42I restriction endonuclease which belongs to the GIY-YIG family and recognizes the symmetric sequence 5'-CCGC/GG-3' ('/' indicates the cleavage site) is a tetramer in solution....
متن کاملHpy188I–DNA pre- and post-cleavage complexes—snapshots of the GIY-YIG nuclease mediated catalysis
The GIY-YIG nuclease domain is present in all kingdoms of life and has diverse functions. It is found in the eukaryotic flap endonuclease and Holliday junction resolvase Slx1-Slx4, the prokaryotic nucleotide excision repair proteins UvrC and Cho, and in proteins of 'selfish' genetic elements. Here we present the structures of the ternary pre- and post-cleavage complexes of the type II GIY-YIG r...
متن کاملBacteriophage T4 endonuclease II, a promiscuous GIY-YIG nuclease, binds as a tetramer to two DNA substrates
The oligomerization state and mode of binding to DNA of the GIY-YIG endonuclease II (EndoII) from bacteriophage T4 was studied using gel filtration and electrophoretic mobility shift assays with a set of mutants previously found to have altered enzyme activity. At low enzyme/DNA ratios all mutants except one bound to DNA only as tetramers to two DNA substrates. The putatively catalytic E118 res...
متن کاملPhylogenomic analysis of the uracil-DNA glycosylase superfamily.
The spontaneous deamination of cytosine produces uracil mispaired with guanine in DNA, which will produce a mutation, unless repaired. In all domains of life, uracil-DNA glycosylases (UDGs) are responsible for the elimination of uracil from DNA. Thus, UDGs contribute to the integrity of the genetic information and their loss results in mutator phenotypes. We are interested in understanding the ...
