Adenosine triphosphate stimulates Aquifex aeolicus MutL endonuclease activity.
BACKGROUND:Human PMS2 (hPMS2) homologues act to nick 5' and 3' to misincorporated nucleotides during mismatch repair in organisms that lack MutH. Mn(++) was previously found to stimulate the endonuclease activity of these homologues. ATP was required for the nicking activity of hPMS2 and y...
