To elucidate the mechanism of DNA binding by Rad2/XPG, we solved crystal structures of the catalytic core of Rad2 in complex with a substrate. Rad2 utilizes three structural modules for recognition of the double-stranded portion of DNA substrate, particularly a Rad2-specific alpha-helix for binding the cleaved strand. The protein does not specifically recognize the single-stranded portion of the nucleic acid. Our data suggest that in contrast to related enzymes (FEN1 and EXO1), the Rad2 active site may be more accessible, which would create an exit route for substrates without a free 5' end.
