The Role of Active-Site Plasticity in Damaged-Nucleotide Recognition by Human Apurinic/Apyrimidinic Endonuclease APE1

The Role of Active-Site Plasticity in Damaged-Nucleotide Recognition by Human Apurinic/Apyrimidinic Endonuclease APE1

Human apurinic/apyrimidinic (AP) endonuclease APE1 hydrolyzes phosphodiester bonds on the 5′ side of an AP-site, and some damaged nucleotides such as 1,N6-ethenoadenosine (εA), α-adenosine (αA), and 5,6-dihydrouridine (DHU). To investigate the mechanism behind the broad substrate specificity of APE1...
