An Endonuclease from Neurospora crassa Specific for Polynucleotides Lacking an Ordered Structure
نویسنده
چکیده
The preceding paper described the purification and some of the properties of a nuclease from Neurospora crussa (1). The purpose of this communication is to describe its mode of attack as an endonuclease with a high degree of specificity for polynucleotides (both riboand deoxyribo-) lacking an ordered structure. Moreover, it has a distinct preference for diester bonds within a polynucleotide in which guanine residues are involved.

متن کاملRepair of apurinic/apyrimidinic sites by UV damage endonuclease; a repair protein for UV and oxidative damage.
UV damage endonuclease (UVDE) initiates a novel form of excision repair by introducing a nick imme-diately 5" to UV-induced cyclobutane pyrimidine dimers or 6-4 photoproducts. Here, we report that apurinic/apyrimidinic (AP) sites are also nicked by Neurospora crassa and Schizosaccharomyces pombe UVDE. UVDE introduces a nick immediately 5" to the AP site leaving a 3"-OH and a 5"-phosphate AP. Ap...
متن کاملSite of cleavage of superhelical phiX174 replicative form DNA by the single strand-specific Neurospora crassa endonuclease.
Experiments with the Neurospora crassa single strand-specific endonuclease have provided evidence for the existence of regions of partially single-stranded character in covalently closed superhelical replicative form DNA of phiX174. The nuclease converts the superhelical molecules to either singly hit relaxed circular or doubly hit linear molecules. We show that the initial cleavage of phiX174 ...
متن کاملBiotransformation of Hydrocortisone by Neurospora crassa
The ability of Neurospora crassa FGSC 4335 in the biotransformation of hydrocortisone was investigated. The microorganism produced two major metabolites after incubation with the substrate for seven days. Each microbial product was purified chromatographically and identified on the basis of spectral data. The products were identified as 11?,17?,20?,21-tetrahydroxypregn-4-en-3-one (II) and 11?-h...
متن کاملStructure of the outer mitochondrial membrane: ordered arrays of porelike subunits in outer-membrane fractions from neurospora crassa mitochondria
Light-membrane fractions obtained by hypoosmotic lysis of neurospora crassa mitochondria exhibit buoyant densities and marker-enzyme activities characteristic of outer mitochondrial membranes. SDS PAGE of these membrane fractions indicates that a polypeptide of M(r) 31,000 is the main protein component. Under negative-stain electron microscope examination many of the membranes in these fraction...
