Abstract

We have discovered a new DNA endonuclease in the fission yeast Schizosaccharomyces pombe which recognizes cyclobutane pyrimidine dimers and (6-4) pyrimidine-pyrimidone photoproducts. S. pombe DNA endonuclease (SPDE) catalyzes a single ATP-independent incision immediately 5' to the UV photoproduct and generates termini containing 3' hydroxyl and 5' phosphoryl groups. Based on these properties, we propose that SPDE may function in a DNA repair capacity, representing the initial recognition/cleavage step of a DNA excision repair pathway.

  • UVDE initiates repair at both dipyrimidine photoproducts by incision immediately 5′ to the damage, followed by long-patch BER in conjunction with Rad27/Fen1, XRCC1, PARP1, and DNA polymerase.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
