Purification of the T4 endonuclease V

A new purification protocol has been developed for the rapid isolation to physical homogeneity of T4 endonuclease V. The enzyme was purified from an Escherichia coli strain which harbors a plasmid containing the T4 denV structural gene downstream of the lambda rightward promoter. The purification of the enzyme was monitored by pyrimidine dimer-specific nicking activity, Western blot analysis and silver or Coomassie Blue staining of SDS-polyacrylamide gels. Milligram quantities of the enzyme have been purified by the following procedure. After sonication of cells and removal of major cell debris, total protein and nucleic acids were passed over a single-stranded DNA agarose column. Endonuclease V was eluted at 650 mM KCl with a linear salt gradient yielding enzyme of approximately 20% purity and following dialysis, was applied to a chromatofocusing column. The enzyme elutes at pH 9.4 and is greater than 90% homogeneous at this step. The final purification step is CM-Sephadex chromatography which attains greater than 98% homogeneity.     

Dark Repair of Ultraviolet-Irradiated Deoxyribonucleic Acid by Bacteriophage T4: Purification and Characterization of a Dimer-Specific Phage-Induced Endonuclease

The purification and properties of an ultraviolet (UV) repair endonuclease are described. The enzyme is induced by infection of cells of Escherichia coli with phage T4 and is missing from extracts of cells infected with the UV-sensitive and excision-defective mutant T4V(1). The enzyme attacks UV-irradiated deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) containing either hydroxymethylcytosine or cytosine, but does not affect native DNA. The specific substrate in UV-irradiated DNA appears to be pyrimidine dimer sites. The purified enzyme alone does not excise pyrimidine dimers from UV-irradiated DNA. However, dimer excision does occur in the presence of the purified endonuclease plus crude extract of cells infected with the mutant T4V(1).     

Endonuclease V of Escherichia coli.

A small endodeoxyribonuclease )2.3 S) that is active on single-stranded DNA has been extensively purified from Escherichia coli so as to be free of other known DNases. It has an alkaline pH optimum (9.5), requires Mg2+, and makes 3'-hydroxy and 5'-phosphate termini. The nuclease nicks duplex DNA, particularly if treated with OsO4, irradiated with ultraviolet light, or exposed to pH 5. The uracil-containing duplex DNA from the Bacillus subtilis phage PBS-2 is an especially good substrate; it is made acid-soluble by levels of the enzyme which fail to produce any acid-soluble material in other single-stranded or duplex DNAs. Neither RNA nor RNA-DNA hybrid are degraded by the enzyme. The enzyme specificity suggests that it might act at abnormal regions in DNA, so that its in vivo function could be to initiate an excision repair sequence. Its high activity on uracil-containing DNA could imply that the enzyme provides an alternative mechanism for excising uracil residues from DNA to the pathway utilizing uracil-DNA N-glycosidase. We suggest that this enzyme be designated as endonuclease V of E. coli.     

Hydration at the TD Damaged Site of DNA and its Role in the Formation of Complex with T4 Endonuclease V

Abstract

An analysis of the distribution of water around DNA surface focusing on the role of the distribution of water molecules in the proper recognition of damaged site by repair enzyme T4 Endonuclease V was performed. The native DNA dodecamer, dodecamer with the thymine dimer (TD) and complex of DNA and part of repair enzyme T4 Endonuclease V were examined throughout the 500 ps of molecular dynamics simulation. During simulation the number of water molecules close to the DNA atoms and the residence time were calculated. There is an increase in number of water molecules lying in the close vicinity to TD if compared with those lying close to two native thymines (TT). Densely populated area with water molecules around TD is one of the factors detected by enzyme during scanning process. The residence time was found higher for molecule of the complex and the six water molecules were found occupying the stabile positions between the TD and catalytic center close to atoms P, C3′ and N3. These molecules originate water mediated hydrogen bond network that contribute to the stability of complex required for the onset of repair process.     

Partial Suppression of Bacteriophage T4 Ligase Mutations by T4 Endonuclease II Deficiency: Role of Host Ligase

Endonuclease II-deficient, ligase-deficient double mutants of phage T4 induce considerably more deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) synthesis after infection of Escherichia coli B than does the ligase-deficient single mutant. Furthermore, the double mutant can replicate 10 to 15% as well as wild-type T4, whereas the single mutant fails to replicate. When the E. coli host is also deficient in ligase, the double mutant resembles the single mutant. The results indicate that host ligase can substitute for phage ligase when the host DNA is not attacked by the phage-induced endonuclease II.     

Point Mutants in the D2a Region of Bacteriophage T4 Fail to Induce T4 Endonuclease IV

We have studied the properties of presumptive point mutants in the D2a region of bacteriophage T4. Dominance tests showed that the D2a mutation was recessive to the wild-type allele. The mutations were shown to map in the D2a region by complementation against rII deletions. The D2a mutations were also located between gene 52 and rIIB by two- and three-factor crosses. The mutants are located at at least two distinct loci in the D2a region. The point mutants grow normally on all hosts tested and none of the mutants makes T4 endonuclease IV. We propose the name "denB" for the D2a locus.     

Host DNA Degradation after Infection of Escherichia coli with Bacteriophage T4: Dependence of the Alternate Pathway of Degradation Which Occurs in the Absence of Both T4 Endonuclease II and Nuclear Disruption on T4 Endonuclease IV

Escherichia coli cells infected with T4 phage which are deficient in both nuclear disruption and endonuclease II exhibit a pathway of host DNA degradation which does not occur in cells infected with phage deficient only in endonuclease II. This alternate pathway of host DNA degradation requires T4 endonuclease IV.     

Purification and Some Properties of Plant Endonuclease from Scallion Bulbs

A plant endonuclease with 3′-nucleotidase activity was purified from scallion bulbs to homogeneity as judged by SDS-PAGE. The molecular weight of the enzyme was estimated to be 38,000 by SDS-PAGE and 40,000 by Sephadex G-100 gel filtration. The enzyme rapidly hydrolyzed yeast RNA and denatured calf thymus DNA to acid-soluble substances, and hydrolyzed the plasmid pBR322 to yield small DNA fragments at low enzyme concentrations. These four activities were eliminated by treatments with EDTA and tetraethylenepentamine. The enzyme had maximum activity at pH 8.5-9.0 for 3′-AMP, 3′-GMP, and 3′-UMP, at pH 6.5 for 3′-CMP and yeast RNA, and at pH 6.0 for denatured calf thymus DNA and pBR322. During digestion of yeast RNA by the enzyme at pH 6.5, 5′-GMP was released most rapidly, followed by 5′-UMP, 5′-AMP, and 5′-CMP. These properties were different from those of endonucleases isolated from other sources such as mung bean sprouts and wheat seedlings.
