A single-strand specific endonuclease activity copurifies with overexpressed T5 D15 exonuclease.
The T5 D15 exonuclease purified from an overproducing strain of E. coli was shown to possess a low level of endonucleolytic activity specific for single-stranded DNA when assayed with 1-10 mM Mg2+ as co-factor. Endonuclease activity on double-stranded circular DNA could not be detected under these conditions. Nicked circular DNA was first gapped by the enzyme's exonucleolytic activity, creating...
متن کاملAmino acid sequence motifs essential to 3'-->5' exonuclease activity of Escherichia coli DNA polymerase II.
Many DNA polymerases have conserved sequences required for 3'-->5' exonuclease activity, which contributes to the accuracy of DNA replication by removing misincorporated nucleotides prior to chain elongation. Using amino acid sequence alignments, we predicted the putative active site of the 3'-->5' exonuclease of Escherichia coli DNA polymerase II. Site-directed mutagenesis at D155A, E157A, D15...
متن کاملDNA deoxyribophosphodiesterase of Escherichia coli is associated with exonuclease I.
DNA deoxyribophosphodiesterase (dRpase) of E. coli catalyzes the release of deoxyribose-phosphate moieties following the cleavage of DNA at an apurinic/apyrimidinic (AP) site by either an AP endonuclease or AP lyase. Exonuclease I is a single-strand specific DNA nuclease which affects the expression of recombination and repair pathways in E. coli. We show here that a major dRpase activity in E....
متن کاملExonuclease VII of Escherichia coli.
A new exonuclease of Escherichia coli K12, exonuclease VII, has been purified 1700-fold and characterized. The enzyme is specific for single-stranded DNA and can initiated hydrolysis at both 5' and 3' termini. It is also capable of thymine-dimer excision in vitro. The limit products of the reaction are oligonucleotides, predominantly in the range of tetramers to dodecamers. DNA is hydrolyzed b...
متن کاملA novel single-stranded DNA-specific 3′–5′ exonuclease, Thermus thermophilus exonuclease I, is involved in several DNA repair pathways
Single-stranded DNA (ssDNA)-specific exonucleases (ssExos) are expected to be involved in a variety of DNA repair pathways corresponding to their cleavage polarities; however, the relationship between the cleavage polarity and the respective DNA repair pathways is only partially understood. To understand the cellular function of ssExos in DNA repair better, genes encoding ssExos were disrupted ...
