Nfo

Protein FULL name:

endonuclease IV with intrinsic 3'-5' exonuclease activity [Escherichia coli str. K-12 substr. MG1655].


Nfo (Escherichia coli strain K-12 substr. MG1655) is product of expression of nfo gene.


Nfo is involved in:

BER in Escherichia coli strain K-12 substr. MG1655

Keywords:



FUNCTION: Endonuclease IV plays a role in DNA repair. It cleaves phosphodiester bonds at apurinic or apyrimidinic sites (AP sites) to produce new 5'-ends that are base-free deoxyribose 5-phosphate residues. It preferentially attacks modified AP sites created by bleomycin and neocarzinostatin.

CATALYTIC ACTIVITY: Endonucleolytic cleavage to 5'- phosphooligonucleotide end-products.

COFACTOR: Binds 3 zinc ions. Can also bind manganese.

SUBUNIT: Monomer.

INDUCTION: Endonuclease IV is induced by agents which generate superoxide radical anions.

SIMILARITY: Belongs to the AP endonuclease 2 family.


NCBI GenPept GI number(s): 16130097
Species: Escherichia coli
