Human Endonuclease III (EndoIII), hNTH1, is an FeS containing enzyme which repairs oxidation damaged bases in DNA. We report here the first comparative biophysical study of full-length and an N-terminally truncated hNTH1, with a domain architecture homologous to bacterial EndoIII. Vibrational spectroscopy, spectroelectrochemistry and SAXS experiments reveal distinct properties of the two enzyme forms, and indicate that the N-terminal domain is important for DNA binding at the onset of damage recognition.
人类核酸内切酶 III(EndoIII),即 hNTH1,是一种含有 FeS 的酶,可修复 DNA 中氧化损伤的碱基。我们在此报告了对全长 hNTH1 和 N 端截断形式的首个比较生物物理研究,它们具有与细菌 EndoIII 同源的结构域架构。振动光谱、光谱电化学和 SAXS 实验揭示了两种酶形式的独特性质,并表明 N 端结构域对于损伤识别起始时的 DNA 结合很重要。
