The crystal structures of representative types of EndoIV from Geobacillus kaustophilus and Thermus thermophilus HB8 were determined using X-ray crystallography. G. kaustophilus EndoIV (the long type) had a higher affinity for double-stranded DNA containing an AP-site analogue than T. thermophilus EndoIV (the short type). Structural analysis of the two different EndoIVs suggested that a C-terminal DNA-recognition loop that is only present in the long type contributes to its high affinity for AP sites. A mutation analysis showed that Lys267 in the C-terminal DNA-recognition loop plays an important role in DNA binding. An additional C-terminal loop in endonuclease IV, an apurinic/apyrimidinic endonuclease, controls binding affinity to DNA.,Asano R, Ishikawa H, Nakane S, Nakagawa N, Kuramitsu S, Masui R Acta Crystallogr D Biol Crystallogr. 2011 Mar;67(Pt 3):149-55.
