Type: | Domain | Name: | 5'-3' exonuclease, C-terminal domain |
Description: | This entry represents the C-terminal domain of 5' to 3' exonucleases. The 5'-3' exonucleases are conserved in organisms as diverse as bacteriophage and mammals. It adopts a SAM fold consisting of 4-5 helices packed into a bundle of two orthogonally packed alpha-hairpins. This domain is involved in interactions with DNA and proteins. 5' to 3' exonucleases that contain this domain include:Bacteriophage T4 RNase H, which has sequence similarity to the RAD2 family of eukaryotic proteins [].5' to 3' exonuclease domain of DNA polymerase Taq, which is homologous to Escherichia coli DNA polymerase I (pol I) [, ].Bacteriophage T5 5'-exonuclease, which are structure-specific endonucleases [].Flap endonuclease-1 (Fen-1 nuclease), a structure specific nuclease that is an essential enzyme for eukaryotic DNA replication and repair []. | Short Name: | 5-3_exonuclease_C |
