But Tma endonuclease V also exhibits inosine-dependent 3'-exonuclease activity and non-specific 5'-exonuclease activity 3.1.21.7 additional information the enzyme shows affinity for but does not cleave branched DNA substrates like 5'-flap, 3'-flap, pseudo-Y, fork, 3-way junction, and Holliday junction 3.1.21.7 nicked DNA + H2O - 3.1.21.7 RNA + H2O the enzyme also cleaves inosine-containing RNA strands 3.1.21.7 RNA-DNA hybrid + H2O the enzyme specifically cleaves the RNA strand of RNA-DNA hybrids. The enzyme is specific for inosine in RNA 3.1.21.7 RNA-DNA hybrid + H2O the enzyme specifically cleaves the RNA strand of RNA-DNA hybrids. The enzyme is specific for inosine in RNA. The enzyme cleaves an RNA substrate containing inosine in a position corresponding to a biologically important site for deamination in the Gabra-3 transcript of the GABAA neurotransmitter. Further, the enzyme specifically incises transfer RNAs with inosine in the wobble position 3.1.21.7 single-stranded circular DNA + H2O 10fold more activity than for duplex DNA 3.1.21.7 single-stranded RNA + H2O 5'-CUGACUICGGAUCAGGGCC-3'. The enzyme is most active towards single-stranded RNA but is much less active towards other substrates 3.1.21.7 single-stranded RNA + H2O in prokaryotes, endonuclease V (EndoV) can recognize and cleave inosine-containing DNA. In contrast, mammalian EndoVs preferentially cleave inosine-containing RNA, suggesting a role in RNA metabolism for the eukaryotic members of this protein family
