We have compared the sites of nucleotide incision on DNA damaged by oxidizing agents when cleavage is mediated by either Escherichia coli endonuclease III or an endonuclease present in bovine and human cells. E. coli endonuclease III, the bovine endonuclease isolated from calf thymus, and the human endonuclease partially purified from HeLa and CEM-C1 lymphoblastoid cells incised DNA damaged with osmium tetroxide, ionizing radiation, or high doses of UV light at sites of pyrimidines. For each damaging agent studied, regardless of whether the E. coli, bovine, or human endonuclease was used, the same sequence specificity of cleavage was observed. We detected this endonuclease activity in a variety of human fibroblasts derived from normal individuals as well as individuals with the DNA repair deficiency diseases ataxia telangiectasia and xeroderma pigmentosum. The highly conserved nature of such a DNA damage-specific endonuclease suggests that a common pathway exists in bacteria, humans, and other mammals for the reversal of certain types of oxidative DNA damage.
