xthA

Unnamed Gene ID: 946254

Known also as: ECK1747; JW1738; xth;


NCBI Gene ID: 946254
Species: Escherichia coli strain K-12 substr. MG1655

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. [More information is available at EcoCyc: EG11073].
