ABclonal Technology Endonuclease IV
Endonuclease IV derived from E. coli recognizes the depurine/depyrimidine (AP) site on the double- stranded DNA molecule, and cleaves the first phosphodiester bond at the 5 ?end of the AP site to form 3-OH and 5dRP . In addition, Endonuclease IV has 3?diesterase activity, which releases phosphoglyceraldehyde, intact deoxyribose 5 -phosphate, and phosphoric acid from the 3 ?end of DNA. The best substrate for this enzyme is AP double-stranded DNA, but it is also active against AP single-stranded DNA.
