Enzyme Information
| 3.1.21.2 |
Deoxyribonuclease IV.
based on mapping to UniProt Q9WYJ7
Endonucleolytic cleavage to 5'-phosphooligonucleotide end-products.
-!- The enzyme is an apurinic/apyrimidinic (AP) site endonuclease that primes DNA repair synthesis at AP sites. -!- It specifically cleaves the DNA backbone at AP sites and also removes 3' DNA-blocking groups such as 3' phosphates, 3' phosphoglycolates, and 3' alpha,beta-unsaturated aldehydes that arise from oxidative base damage and the activity of combined glycosylase/lyase enzymes. -!- It is also the only known repair enzyme that is able to cleave the DNA backbone 5' of the oxidative lesion alpha-deoxyadenosine. -!- The enzyme has a strong preference for single-stranded DNA. -!- Formerly EC 3.1.4.30.
