Structural and Functional Characterization of a Unique AP Endonuclease From Deinococcus radiodurans
Various endogenous and exogenous agents cause DNA damage, including apurinic/apyrimidinic (AP) sites. Due to their cytotoxic effects, AP sites are usually cleaved by AP endonuclease through the base excision repair (BER) pathway. Deinococcus radiodurans, an extraordinary radiation-resistant bacteriu...
