Cloning and characterization of a wheat homologue of apurinic/apyrimidinic endonuclease Ape1L. [PDF]
Apurinic/apyrimidinic (AP) endonucleases are key DNA repair enzymes involved in the base excision repair (BER) pathway. In BER, an AP endonuclease cleaves DNA at AP sites and 3'-blocking moieties generated by DNA glycosylases and/or oxidative damage.

A nomenclature for restriction enzymes, DNA methyltransferases, homing endonucleases and their genes [PDF]
A nomenclature is described for restriction endonucleases, DNA methyltransferases, homing endonucleases and related genes and gene products. It provides explicit categories for the many different Type II enzymes now identified and provides a system for ...

Targeted Mutagenesis Using RNA-guided Endonucleases in Mosses
RNA-guided endonucleases (RGENs) have been used for genome editing in various organisms. Here, we demonstrate a simple method for performing targeted mutagenesis and genotyping in a model moss species, Physcomitrella patens, using RGENs.

The Swr1 chromatin-remodeling complex prevents genome instability induced by replication fork progression defects. [PDF]
Genome instability is associated with tumorigenesis. Here, we identify a role for the histone Htz1, which is deposited by the Swr1 chromatin-remodeling complex (SWR-C), in preventing genome instability in the absence of the replication fork/replication ...

Treatment of DNA containing AP sites with either T4 UV endonuclease or with E. coli endonuclease III followed by a human class II AP endonuclease releases a putative beta-elimination product. This result suggests that both the T4 endonuclease and E. coli endonuclease III class I AP endonucleases catalyze phosphodiester bond cleavage via a lyase- rather

Characterization of endonuclease activities in Moloney murine leukemia virus and its replication-defective mutants [PDF]
To study Moloney murine leukemia virus (M-MulV) proteins associated with the integration of proviral DNA into the host chromosome, we isolated endonuclease activities from purified virion preparations of the wild type and two of its replication mutants ...

Massively parallel determination and modeling of endonuclease substrate specificity [PDF]
We describe the identification and characterization of novel homing endonucleases using genome database mining to identify putative target sites, followed by high throughput activity screening in a bacterial selection system.

EPIGENETICS TODAY AND TOMORROW
Epigenetics is a science of inheritable organism properties that are not associated with changes in the DNA nucleotide sequence but can be indirectly encoded in the genome. The most known epigenetic mechanisms (signals) are enzymatic DNA methylation, the
