Abstract

Structure-specific nucleases catalyze critical reactions in DNA replication, recombination, and repair. Recently, a structure-specific endonuclease, FEN-1, has been purified and shown to cleave DNA flap structures. Here, we describe the cloning of the murine FEN-1 gene. The nucleotide sequence of FEN-1 is highly homologous to the Saccharomyces cerevisiae genes YKL510 and RAD2. We show that YKL510 and a truncated RAD2 protein are also structure-specific endonucleases. The substrate specificity of the truncated RAD2 protein implicates branched DNA structures as important intermediates in nucleotide excision repair. The polarity of these branched DNA structures allows us to predict the placement of DNA scissions by RAD2 and RAD1/RAD10 in this reaction.

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.
