  ABSTRACT  
 
We show that Pyrococcus abyssi PAB2263 (dubbed NucS (nuclease for ss DNA) is a novel archaeal endonuclease that interacts with the replication clamp PCNA. Structural determination of P. abyssi NucS revealed a two-domain dumbbell-like structure that in overall does not resemble any known protein structure. Biochemical and structural studies indicate that NucS orthologues use a non-catalytic ssDNA-binding domain to regulate the cleavage activity at another site, thus resulting into the specific cleavage at double-stranded DNA (dsDNA)/ssDNA junctions on branched DNA substrates. Both 3' and 5' extremities of the ssDNA can be cleaved at the nuclease channel that is too narrow to accommodate duplex DNA. Altogether, our data suggest that NucS proteins constitute a new family of structure-specific DNA endonucleases that are widely distributed in archaea and in bacteria, including Mycobacterium tuberculosis.

The most recent references are shown first. Citation data come partly from CiteXplore and partly from an automated harvesting procedure. Note that this is likely to be only a partial list as not all journals are covered by either method. However, we are continually building up the citation data so more and more references will be included with time.
