ENS2 Summary 
| Standard Name | ENS2 1 (see Nomenclature conflict Note) |
|---|---|
| Feature Type | not in systematic sequence of S288C |
| Description | Mitochondrially-encoded 50 kD subunit of Endo.SceI, a dimeric multi-site-specific endonuclease that introduces double-stranded breaks at a number of well-defined sites on the mitochondrial DNA, inducing homologous recombination (2, 3) Also known as: RF3 , Endo.SceI |

| VDE | Nomenclature conflict | SceI has been used to refer to three different endonucleases: I-SceI, encoded by SCEI/OMEGA; Endo.SceI, composed of Ssc1p/Yjr045p and the mitochondrially-encoded Ens2p; and PI-SCEI/VDE, the TFP1-derived endonuclease. |
| SCEI | Nomenclature conflict | SceI has been used to refer to three different endonucleases: I-SceI, encoded by SCEI/OMEGA; Endo.SceI, composed of Ssc1p/Yjr045p and the mitochondrially-encoded Ens2p; and PI-SCEI/VDE, the TFP1-derived endonuclease. |
