Endonuclease V, often abbreviated as EndoV, is a vital enzyme found across multiple life forms, from bacteria to mammals. It plays a significant role in DNA repair, particularly in the identification and excision of deaminated bases, which are a common form of DNA damage. The enzyme's main function is to recognize and remove inosine, a deaminated derivative of adenosine, from DNA, preventing mutagenesis and maintaining genomic stability.EndoV is unique among DNA repair enzymes due to its distinctive mechanism of action. It cleaves the second phosphodiester bond 3' to the damaged site, leaving a nick with 3'-hydroxyl and 5'-phosphate termini. This action differentiates it from most other DNA glycosylases, which typically cleave the glycosidic bond of the damaged base.
In humans, the EndoV enzyme is encoded by the ENDOV gene, and its malfunction can lead to genomic instability and contributes to pathogenesis, including cancer. Recent studies have also indicated a possible role of EndoV in processing RNA, expanding its functional significance beyond DNA repair.EndoV's unique functionality and broad presence across species make it an attractive target for biochemical research and development. Its involvement in the maintenance of genomic integrity could have implications for various diseases including canacer. Understanding the exact mechanism and regulation of EndoV may provide new insights into the intricate network of DNA repair and its relationship with human disease.
