Protein Domain : Extracellular Endonuclease, subunit A

Primary Identifier  IPR020821 Type  Domain
Short Name  Extracellular_endonuc_su_A
description  A family of bacterial and eukaryotic endonucleases share the following characteristics: they act on both DNA and RNA, cleave double-stranded and single-stranded nucleic acids and require a divalent ion such as magnesium for their activity. A histidine has been shown []to be essential for the activity of the Serratia marcescens nuclease. This residue is located in a conserved region which also contains an aspartic acid residue that could be implicated in the binding of the divalent ion.
