Deoxyribonuclease IV (phage-T4-induced) (EC 3.1.21.2, endodeoxyribonuclease IV (phage T4-induced), E. coli endonuclease IV, endodeoxyribonuclease, redoxyendonuclease, deoxriboendonuclease, Escherichia coli endonuclease II, endonuclease II, DNA-adenine-transferase) is catalyzes the degradation nucleotides [1] in DsDNA by attacking the 5'-terminal end. [2] [3] [4]

Contents

Deoxyribonuclease IV is a type of deoxyribonuclease that has both an exonucleolytic and an endonucleolytic activity. [1] It functions at abasic or apurinic-apyrimidininc sites when the cell is undergoing nucleotide excision repair pathway. [5] In addition, the endonuclease IV consists of several activities such as AP endonuclease, 3'-diesterase, 3'->5' exonuclease, and 3'phosphatase. [6]

The endonuclease IV is encoded by denB of bacteriophage T4 and its binding sequence is 5′-dT||dCdAdCdTdTdC-3′. It has been discovered that serine 176 residue plays a crucial role in increasing the hydrolysis rate of the endonuclease of a consensus sequence containing cytidine. The endonuclease IV falls under a structurally resembling members with apyrimidininc endonuclease I (APE1). [7]

Discovery

Deoxyribonuclease IV was first isolated from rabbit tissues in 1968. Specifically, it was found in rabbit bone marrow by Lindahl. [8] And its molecular weight was determined to be 42,000 dalton. It was discovered that this enzyme resembles several microbial endonuclease activities of DNA polymerase I found in Escherichia coli, which appear to be necessary for DNA repair and recombination. [9] It also resembles gamma exonuclease, which performs an important function in recombination of bacteriophage. [10]

Structure

DNase IV is composed of 185 amino acid residues with magnesium ions acting as a cofactor. Divalent metal ions such as Mg²⁺ act as cofactor during the cleavage of 5'-mononucleotides. [11] DNase IV prefers to attack native DNA acting as an endonuclease with metal ions either Mg++ or Mn++. [12] Its TIM beta barrel core surrounded by helices with three metal ions —either three Zn2+ or two Zn2+ and one Mn2+ which plays crucial role in AP excision repair. [13]

Function

DNase IV attacks dsDNA at 5' ends by liberating 5' mononucleotides but it does not attack any monomers in polydeoxyribonucleotides in a random fashion. It cleaves polydeoxyribonucleotides in an exonucleolytic fashion from 5' end, meaning it removes a nucleotide chain that is adjacent to the 5' terminal end rather than cleaving a nucleotide located in the middle of the chain. DNase IV works by attacking multiple polynucleotide chains at the same time. [10] Since it does not cleave dsDNA in a processive way, the rate of hydrolysis of this enzyme is faster than native DNA in terms of kinetics. [14] DNase IV does not recognize specific sequences on DNA for non-staggered cleavage. However, it requires two base pairs at one cleavage site, and the other cleavage site of double-stranded DNA should have more than 10 base pairs. [12]

Enzyme Activities in cell environment and DNA

70% of the total DNase IV activity was found in the cytoplasm while 30% was found in cell nuclei. [1] In human body, DNase IV was required for cleavage of a reaction intermediate generated by template strand displacement during gap-filling. [15]

During the endonuclease activity, conformational change in DNA occurs in a way that exposes the abasic site by bending the DNA by 90 degrees, which involves flipping out the sugar moiety into a small pocket that would not form watson-crick base pair. [13]

DNase IV acts on double stranded DNA in repair by breaking phosphodiester bonds, but the number of cleavages by this enzyme is smaller than the extent of polymerization of DNA. [14]

Difference between DNase III vs. DNase IV

In crude cell extracts from lymphoid organs, DNase III and DNase IV show major activities because DNase I activity is inhibited. The activities of DNase III and DNase IV depend on two Mg++ as cofactors and these enzymes are localized in cell nuclei. Even though they require same divalent metal to function, there are major difference in liberating polynucleotides. DNase III cleaves a single strand of DNA from 3' terminal end but DNase IV cleaves a double strand of DNA from 5' terminal end. [10] Because DNase III degrades single stranded DNA, the rate of hydrolysis of DNase III is more rapid than that of DNase IV. [1]

DNA ligase is a type of enzyme that facilitates the joining of DNA strands together by catalyzing the formation of a phosphodiester bond. It plays a role in repairing single-strand breaks in duplex DNA in living organisms, but some forms may specifically repair double-strand breaks. Single-strand breaks are repaired by DNA ligase using the complementary strand of the double helix as a template, with DNA ligase creating the final phosphodiester bond to fully repair the DNA.

A restriction enzyme, restriction endonuclease, REase, ENase orrestrictase is an enzyme that cleaves DNA into fragments at or near specific recognition sites within molecules known as restriction sites. Restriction enzymes are one class of the broader endonuclease group of enzymes. Restriction enzymes are commonly classified into five types, which differ in their structure and whether they cut their DNA substrate at their recognition site, or if the recognition and cleavage sites are separate from one another. To cut DNA, all restriction enzymes make two incisions, once through each sugar-phosphate backbone of the DNA double helix.

<span class="mw-page-title-main">DNA polymerase</span> Form of DNA replication

A DNA polymerase is a member of a family of enzymes that catalyze the synthesis of DNA molecules from nucleoside triphosphates, the molecular precursors of DNA. These enzymes are essential for DNA replication and usually work in groups to create two identical DNA duplexes from a single original DNA duplex. During this process, DNA polymerase "reads" the existing DNA strands to create two new strands that match the existing ones. These enzymes catalyze the chemical reaction

The restriction modification system is found in bacteria and other prokaryotic organisms, and provides a defense against foreign DNA, such as that borne by bacteriophages.

Deoxyribonuclease refers to a group of glycoprotein endonucleases which are enzymes that catalyze the hydrolytic cleavage of phosphodiester linkages in the DNA backbone, thus degrading DNA. The role of the DNase enzyme in cells includes breaking down extracellular DNA (ecDNA) excreted by apoptosis, necrosis, and neutrophil extracellular traps (NET) of cells to help reduce inflammatory responses that otherwise are elicited. A wide variety of deoxyribonucleases are known and fall into one of two families, which differ in their substrate specificities, chemical mechanisms, and biological functions. Laboratory applications of DNase include purifying proteins when extracted from prokaryotic organisms. Additionally, DNase has been applied as a treatment for diseases that are caused by ecDNA in the blood plasma. Assays of DNase are emerging in the research field as well.

In biochemistry, a nuclease is an enzyme capable of cleaving the phosphodiester bonds between nucleotides of nucleic acids. Nucleases variously effect single and double stranded breaks in their target molecules. In living organisms, they are essential machinery for many aspects of DNA repair. Defects in certain nucleases can cause genetic instability or immunodeficiency. Nucleases are also extensively used in molecular cloning.

Exodeoxyribonuclease V is an enzyme of E. coli that initiates recombinational repair from potentially lethal double strand breaks in DNA which may result from ionizing radiation, replication errors, endonucleases, oxidative damage, and a host of other factors. The RecBCD enzyme is both a helicase that unwinds, or separates the strands of DNA, and a nuclease that makes single-stranded nicks in DNA. It catalyses exonucleolytic cleavage in either 5′- to 3′- or 3′- to 5′-direction to yield 5′-phosphooligonucleotides.

DNA gyrase, or simply gyrase, is an enzyme within the class of topoisomerase and is a subclass of Type II topoisomerases that reduces topological strain in an ATP dependent manner while double-stranded DNA is being unwound by elongating RNA-polymerase or by helicase in front of the progressing replication fork. It is the only known enzyme to actively contribute negative supercoiling to DNA, while it also is capable of relaxing positive supercoils. It does so by looping the template to form a crossing, then cutting one of the double helices and passing the other through it before releasing the break, changing the linking number by two in each enzymatic step. This process occurs in bacteria, whose single circular DNA is cut by DNA gyrase and the two ends are then twisted around each other to form supercoils. Gyrase is also found in eukaryotic plastids: it has been found in the apicoplast of the malarial parasite Plasmodium falciparum and in chloroplasts of several plants. Bacterial DNA gyrase is the target of many antibiotics, including nalidixic acid, novobiocin, albicidin, and ciprofloxacin.

In molecular biology, endonucleases are enzymes that cleave the phosphodiester bond within a polynucleotide chain. Some, such as deoxyribonuclease I, cut DNA relatively nonspecifically, while many, typically called restriction endonucleases or restriction enzymes, cleave only at very specific nucleotide sequences. Endonucleases differ from exonucleases, which cleave the ends of recognition sequences instead of the middle (endo) portion. Some enzymes known as "exo-endonucleases", however, are not limited to either nuclease function, displaying qualities that are both endo- and exo-like. Evidence suggests that endonuclease activity experiences a lag compared to exonuclease activity.

<span class="mw-page-title-main">Exonuclease</span> Class of enzymes; type of nuclease

Exonucleases are enzymes that work by cleaving nucleotides one at a time from the end (exo) of a polynucleotide chain. A hydrolyzing reaction that breaks phosphodiester bonds at either the 3′ or the 5′ end occurs. Its close relative is the endonuclease, which cleaves phosphodiester bonds in the middle (endo) of a polynucleotide chain. Eukaryotes and prokaryotes have three types of exonucleases involved in the normal turnover of mRNA: 5′ to 3′ exonuclease (Xrn1), which is a dependent decapping protein; 3′ to 5′ exonuclease, an independent protein; and poly(A)-specific 3′ to 5′ exonuclease.
