Abstrakt: gamma-Endonuclease Y, an enzyme that hydrolyses phosphodiester bonds at alkalistable lesions in gamma-irradiated (N2, tris buffer) DNA, has been partially purified from Micrococcus luteus. The enzyme has a molecular weight of about 19 000, induces single-strand breaks with 3'OH-5'PO4 termini and contains endonuclease activity towards DNA treated with 7-bromomethylbenz(a)anthracene. gamma-Endonuclease Y induces breaks in OsO4-treated poly(dA-dT) and apparently is specific towards gamma-ray-induced base lesions of the t' type. The complete excision repair of gamma-endonuclease Y substrate sites has been performed in vitro by gamma-endonuclease Y, DNA polymerase and ligase.
