      | Exonuclease III (XthA) is one of two 5' apurinic/apyrimidinic (AP) endonucleases (along with endonuclease IV) in Escherichia coli which function in the repair of DNA at sites where damaged bases have been removed by the activity of DNA glycosylases or where bases have been spontaneously lost.
