    The endonuclease Cue2 cleaves mRNAs at stalled ribosomes during No Go Decay

    Karole N D'Orazio, Colin Chih-Chien Wu ... Rachel Green
    Cue2 is an endonuclease that cleaves mRNA in the A site of the lagging ribosome upon ribosome collision events.

    The structure-selective endonucleases GEN1 and MUS81 mediate complementary functions in safeguarding the genome of proliferating B lymphocytes

    Keith Conrad Fernandez, Laura Feeney ... Jayanta Chaudhuri
    A novel conditional mouse model to interrogate the requirements of structure-selective endonucleases in the development, functionality, and genome stability of B lymphocytes.

    Unleashing a novel function of Endonuclease G in mitochondrial genome instability

    Sumedha Dahal, Humaira Siddiqua ... Sathees C Raghavan
    A new role for Endonuclease G with respect to the generation of mtDNA deletions is identified, which is dependent on the formation of G4 DNA within human mitochondria.

    The yeast mating-type switching endonuclease HO is a domesticated member of an unorthodox homing genetic element family

    Aisling Y Coughlan, Lisa Lombardi ... Kenneth H Wolfe
    A family of homing genetic elements that look like inteins but work differently is the progenitor of the endonuclease that enables Saccharomyces cerevisiae to change its mating type.

    Biosynthesis of histone messenger RNA employs a specific 3' end endonuclease

    Ilaria Pettinati, Pawel Grzechnik ... Christopher J Schofield
    MBLAC1 is an endoribonuclease specific for replication dependent histone pre-mRNA processing during S-phase and may represent a new type of cancer target.

    cryo-EM structures of the E. coli replicative DNA polymerase reveal its dynamic interactions with the DNA sliding clamp, exonuclease and τ

    Rafael Fernandez-Leiro, Julian Conrad ... Meindert H Lamers
    Structures of the replicative DNA polymerase Pol IIIα, the DNA sliding clamp, the proofreading exonuclease, and the processivity switch Tau (τ) suggest a mechanism for quick release during lagging strand synthesis.

    Fitness effects of CRISPR endonucleases in Drosophila melanogaster populations

    Anna M Langmüller, Jackson Champer ... Philipp W Messer
    In Drosophila, genomic CRISPR/Cas9 expression necessary for CRISPR-based gene drives harbors fitness costs presumably caused by off-target effects, which can be minimized by using a high-fidelity version of Cas9.

    Single-molecule FRET unveils induced-fit mechanism for substrate selectivity in flap endonuclease 1

    Fahad Rashid, Paul D Harris ... Samir M Hamdan
    Structure specific nucleases that act in DNA replication, repair and recombination actively mold their DNA while transforming their own structure to achieve precise cleavage of their cognate DNA and avoid the deleterious cleavage of noncognate DNA.

    A non-canonical role for the EDC4 decapping factor in regulating MARF1-mediated mRNA decay

    William R Brothers, Steven Hebert ... Marc R Fabian
    Crosslink immunopreciptiation (iCLIP) studies reveal important mechanistic insights into how MARF1 post-transcriptionally regulates targeted mRNAs and uncover a novel mode by which EDC4 regulates mRNA metabolism.

    Essential roles of Caspase-3 in facilitating Myc-induced genetic instability and carcinogenesis

    Ian M Cartwright, Xinjian Liu ... Chuan-Yuan Li
    Myc expression is shown to cause sublethal activation of Caspase-3 and downstream endonuclease G, which causes DNA double strand breaks and oncogenic transformation in human cells.
