Abstract excerpt
Misincorporated ribonucleotides in DNA will cause DNA backbone distortion and may be targeted by DNA repair enzymes. Using double-stranded oligonucleotide probes containing a single ribose, we demonstrate a robust activity in human, yeast, and Escherichia coli cell-free extracts that nicks 5' of the ribose. The human and yeast extracts also make a subsequent cut 3' of the ribonucleotide releasing a ribonucleotide...
