    Phenotypes of a mutant

  • an ''[protein|search|exoA] [protein|search|nfo]'' double mutant is impaired in germination and spore outgrowth due to the accumulation of DNA lesions, this can be rescued by inactivation of ''[protein|search|disA]'' [Pubmed|24244006]
  • an ''[protein|search|exoA] [protein|search|nfo]'' double mutant is sensitive to radiation [Pubmed|24123749]
  • The protein

    Catalyzed reaction/ biological activity

  • Exonucleolytic cleavage in the 3'- to 5'-direction to yield nucleoside 5'-phosphates (according to Swiss-Prot)
  • Protein family

  • DNA repair enzymes AP/exoA family (according to Swiss-Prot)

  • cytoplasm (according to Swiss-Prot)
  • Expression and Regulation

    Operon

  • ''[protein|search|exoA]-[protein|search|ccpB]'' (according to [http://dbtbs.hgc.jp/COG/prom/exoA-ccpA.html DBTBS])
