Endonuclease V

UniProtKB accession:  Q9X2H9

Grouped By:  Matching UniProtKB accession

UniProtKB description:  DNA repair enzyme involved in the repair of deaminated bases. Selectively cleaves double-stranded DNA at the second phosphodiester bond 3' to a deoxyinosine leaving behind the intact lesion on the nicked DNA. In vitro, can also cleave single-stranded substrates with inosine, double-stranded DNA with apurinic sites, or DNA sites with uracil or a mismatched base. When present in molar excess, two protein molecules can bind to the same DNA substrate and effect cleavage of both strands (in vitro).
