Endonuclease V, often called deoxyinosine 3´ endonuclease, recognizes DNA containing deoxyinosines (paired or not) on double-stranded DNA, single-stranded DNA with deoxyinosines and to a lesser degree, DNA containing abasic sites (ap) or urea, base mismatches, insertion/deletion mismatches, hairpin or unpaired loops, flaps and pseudo-Y structures.
It is believed that Endonuclease V needs another protein to repair the DNA, as it does not remove the deoxyinsoine or the damaged bases (1,2,3).
Endonuclease V cleaves the second and third phosphodiester bonds 3´ to the mismatch of deoxyinosine with a 95% efficiency for the second bond and a 5% efficiency for the third bond (2), leaving a nick with 3´-hydroxyl and 5´-phosphate (4).

 ENDOG - Endonuclease G, mitochondrial precursor
Endonuclease G (endoG) is released from mitochondria during apoptosis and is in part responsible for internucleosomal DNA cleavage.
Endonuclease G (Endo G) is widely distributed among animals and cleaves DNA at double-stranded (dG)n.(dC)n and at single-stranded (dC)n tracts.
Endonuclease G (Endo G) is a nuclease of prokaryotic lineage found in the mitochondria of vertebrates that has been suggested to play a role in mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) replication.

 FEN1 - Flap endonuclease-1
The flexible loop of human FEN1 endonuclease is required for flap cleavage during DNA replication and repair.
Defective flap endonuclease 1 activity in mammalian cells is associated with impaired DNA repair and prolonged S phase delay.
FEN-1 has specific endonuclease activity for repairing nicked double-stranded DNA substrates that have the 5'-end of the nick expanded into a single-stranded tail, and it is involved in processing Okazaki fragments during DNA replication.

 Effects of Zinc and Cadmium on Apoptotic DNA Fragmentation in Isolated Bovine Liver Nuclei
Thus cadmium exerts a dual effect: micromolar concentrations inhibit the apoptotic endonuclease in the presence but activate the enzyme in the absence of calcium.
The Ca -mediated DNA fragmentation in mammalian cells is due to a Ca /Mg -dependent endonuclease, which is constitutive in nuclei and not lysosomal (17).
We propose that the balance between Ca /Zn is responsible for the regulation of the endonuclease.

 Endonuclease VIII, DNA Repair Proteins, New England Biolabs
Endonuclease VIII from E. coli acts as both an N-glycosylase and an AP-lyase.

A total of ten hypothetical restriction endonucleases (A-J) are used to generate 72 fragments (36 sense and 36 antisense) ranging in size from 50 to 450 bp.
The range of buffer activity levels allowed in the restriction endonuclease property file is 0 to 100 which is consistent with activity levels normalized to a percentage of a maximum activity level.

 ENDONUCLEASE/TOPOISOMERASE NAEI
Abstract: DNA topoisomerases, recombinases, endonucleases and ligases are basic to the genetic machinery of the cell.
Endonuclease NaeI appears to hold the key that relates these DNA processing enzymes to each other.
The discovery of topoisomerase and recombinase activity within NaeI endonuclease unites what were previously believed to be independently derived DNA processing activities.
