PI-PfuI Endonuclease subdomain The endonuclease subdomain, found in the prokaryotic protein ribonucleotide reductase, assumes an alpha-beta-beta-alpha-beta-beta-alpha-alpha topology. The four stranded beta-sheet forms a saddle-shaped surface and assembles together through an interface made of alpha-helices. The presence of 14 basic residues on the surface of the beta-sheets suggests that this large groove may be involved in DNA binding.
