Abstract

We have discovered a new DNA endonuclease in the fission yeast Schizosaccharomyces pombe which recognizes cyclobutane pyrimidine dimers and (6–4) pyrimidine-pyrimidone photoproducts. S.pombe DNA endonuclease (SPDE) catalyzes a single ATPindependent incision immediately 5′ to the UV photoproduct and generates termini containing 3′ hydroxyl and 5′ phosphoryl groups. Based on these properties, we propose that SPDE may function in a DNA repair capacity, representing the initial recognition/ cleavage step of a DNA excision repair pathway.
