An additional C-terminal loop in endonuclease IV, an apurinic/apyrimidinic endonuclease, controls binding affinity to DNA
Acta Crystallogr.,Sect.D, 67:149-155, 2011

PubMed Abstract: Endonuclease IV (EndoIV) is an endonuclease that acts at apurinic/apyrimidinic (AP) sites and is classified as either long-type or short-type. The crystal structures of representative types of EndoIV from Geobacillus kaustophilus and Thermus thermophilus HB8 were determined using X-ray crystallography. G. kaustophilus EndoIV (the long type) had a higher affinity for double-stranded DNA containing an AP-site analogue than T. thermophilus EndoIV (the short type). Structural analysis of the two different EndoIVs suggested that a C-terminal DNA-recognition loop that is only present in the long type contributes to its high affinity for AP sites. A mutation analysis showed that Lys267 in the C-terminal DNA-recognition loop plays an important role in DNA binding.
