Isolation and general properties of 3'-5' exonucleases I and II (EC 3.1.4.26), which are specific to single-stranded DNA, are described. Such enzymes, being components of replication complexes, could correct replication errors. Homogeneous exonucleases I and II consist of a single subunit with molecular mass of 50 and 40 kDa, respectively. These enzymes are located preferentially in the nuclear membrane and chromatin. They form complexes with nuclear DNA polymerases and some other proteins and are not observed practically in a free state. Molecular masses of the complexes amount from 70 to 1.500 kDa. The complexes dissociate as a result of solution hydrophobization and can be reconstituted after the decrease of hydrophobization. The heavy membrane complex form of 3'----5' exonuclease I manifests enzymatic activities of DNA polymerase alpha (EC 2.7.7.7), non-specific nucleoside triphosphatase (EC 3.1.3.2), nucleotidase (EC 3.1.3.31) and faint activity of endonuclease (EC 3.1.4.5). Complexes under study do not display activity of thymidine kinase (EC 2.7.1.21), marker protein of replitase, neither in G0 nor in S-period.

The incision of damaged DNA by the Escherichia coli UvrABC endonuclease requires ATP hydrolysis. Although the deduced sequence of the UvrB protein suggests a putative ATP binding site, no nucleoside triphosphatase activity is demonstrable with the purified UvrB protein. The UvrB protein is specifically proteolyzed in E. coli cell extracts to yield a 70 kD fragment, referred to as UvrB*, which has been purified and is shown to possess a single-strand DNA dependent ATPase activity. Substrate specificity and kinetic analyses of UvrB* catalyzed nucleotide hydrolysis indicate that the stimulation in DNA dependent ATPase activity following formation of the UvrAB complex results from the activation of the normally sequestered UvrB associated ATPase. Using nucleotide analogues, it can be shown that this activity is essential to the DNA incision reaction carried out by the UvrABC complex.
