Examples
After transcription has been terminated, the mRNA chain is cleaved through the action of an endonuclease complex associated with RNA polymerase.
Cleavage of the RNA flaps involves either endonuclease 1 (FEN1) cleavage of short flaps, or coating of long flaps by the single-stranded DNA binding protein replication protein A (RPA) and sequential cleavage by Dna2 nuclease and FEN1.
Members of the family Bidnaviridae have evolved from insect parvoviruses by replacing the typical replication-initiation endonuclease with a protein-primed family B DNA polymerase acquired from large DNA transposons of the Polinton/Maverick family.
The Mod subunit recognises the DNA sequence specific for the system and is a modification methyltransferase ; as such, it is functionally equivalent to the M and S subunits of type I restriction endonuclease.
Non-LTRs are widely spread in eukaryotic genomes. citation ;Long interspersed elements (LINEs) : are able to encode two Open Reading Frames (ORFs) to generate transcriptase and endonuclease, which are essential in retrotransposition.
He joined Matthew Meselson 's laboratory at Harvard University to study a DNA endonuclease involved in the replication and recombination of T4 DNA.
