Protein Variants

Protein Variants Comment Organism
D1067A The mutation in the carboxyl-terminal nuclease domain of the RecB subunit abolishes nuclease activity on both single- and double-stranded DNA but the mutant enzyme is active as helicase. The mutant is unable to produce chi-specific fragments from either strand of a chi-containing double-stranded DNA substrate. Escherichia coli
K1082Q The mutation in the carboxyl-terminal nuclease domain of the RecB subunit abolishes nuclease activity on both single- and double-stranded DNA but the mutant enzyme is active as helicase. The mutant is unable to produce chi-specific fragments from either strand of a chi-containing double-stranded DNA substrate. Escherichia coli
Y1081A The mutation in the carboxyl-terminal nuclease domain of the RecB subunit exhibits substantial nuclease activity. Escherichia coli
Y1081F The mutation in the carboxyl-terminal nuclease domain of the RecB subunit exhibits essentially wild-type levels of activity. Escherichia coli
Y1114A The mutation in the carboxyl-terminal nuclease domain of the RecB subunit exhibits substantial nuclease activity. Escherichia coli
Y1114F The mutation in the carboxyl-terminal nuclease domain of the RecB subunit exhibits essentially wild-type levels of activity. Escherichia coli

Purification (Comment) Organism
wild-type and mutant enzymes of RecB subunit: D1067A and K1082Q Escherichia coli

Reaction

Reaction Comment Organism Reaction ID
Exonucleolytic cleavage (in the presence of ATP) in either 5'- to 3'- or 3'- to 5'-direction to yield 5'-phosphooligonucleotides mechanism, The enzyme is an ATP-dependent DNA exonuclease and a helicase, its exonuclease activity is subject to regulation by an octameric nucleotide sequence called chi. Escherichia coli
