Structural basis for recognition and repair of the 3′-phosphate by NExo, a base excision DNA repair nuclease from Neisseria meningitidis
NExo is an enzyme from Neisseria meningitidis that is specialized in the removal of the 3′-phosphate and other 3′-lesions, which are potential blocks for DNA repair. NExo is a highly active DNA 3′-phosphatase, and although it is from the class II AP family it lacks AP endonuclease activity. In contr...
