PubMed Abstract: Exonuclease VII (ExoVII) is a ubiquitous bacterial nuclease. Encoded by the and genes, ExoVII participates in multiple nucleic acid-dependent pathways including the processing of multicopy single-stranded DNA and the repair of covalent DNA-protein crosslinks (DPCs). Although many biochemical properties of ExoVII have been defined, little is known about its structure/function relationships. Here, we use cryoelectron microscopy (cryoEM) to determine that ExoVII comprises a highly elongated XseA·XseB holo-complex. Each XseA subunit dimerizes through a central extended α-helical segment decorated by six XseB subunits and a C-terminal, domain-swapped β-barrel element; two XseA·XseB subcomplexes further associate using N-terminal OB (oligonucleotide/oligosaccharide-binding) folds and catalytic domains to form a spindle-shaped, catenated octaicosamer. The catalytic domains of XseA, which adopt a nuclease fold related to 3-dehydroquinate dehydratases, are sequestered in the center of the complex and accessible only through large pores formed between XseA tetramers. The architectural organization of ExoVII, combined with biochemical studies, indicate that substrate selectivity is controlled by steric access to its nuclease elements and that tetramer dissociation results from substrate DNA binding. Despite a lack of sequence and fold homology, the physical organization of ExoVII is reminiscent of Mre11·Rad50/SbcCD ATP (adenosine triphosphate)-dependent nucleases used in the repair of double-stranded DNA breaks, including those formed by DPCs through aberrant topoisomerase activity, suggesting that there may have been convergent evolutionary pressure to contend with such damage events.
