Structural basis of AP-site recognition in the nucleosome by APE1. (A) Cryo-EM model of the APE1-AP-NCP–6 complex (PDB: 7U50). (B) Focused views of the nucleosomal DNA from SHL–5.5 to the nucleosome entry/exit site in the AP-NCP–6 (left) and APE1-AP-NCP–6 complex (right). The local deformations in the nucleosomal DNA induced by APE1 during AP-site recognition are labeled.
