ssDNA exonuclease, 5' --> 3'-specific; Single-stranded-DNA-specific exonuclease. Required for many types of recombinational events, although the stringency of the requirement for RecJ appears to vary with the type of recombinational event monitored and the other recombination gene products which are available.

Exodeoxyribonuclease I; Degrades single-stranded DNA (ssDNA) in a highly processive manner. Also functions as a DNA deoxyribophosphodiesterase that releases deoxyribose-phosphate moieties following the cleavage of DNA at an apurinic/apyrimidinic (AP) site by either an AP endonuclease or AP lyase.

Methyl-directed mismatch repair protein; Sequence-specific endonuclease that cleaves unmethylated GATC sequences. It is involved in DNA mismatch repair.

DNA-dependent ATPase I and helicase II; A helicase with DNA-dependent ATPase activity. Unwinds DNA duplexes with 3' to 5' polarity with respect to the bound strand. Initiates unwinding more efficiently from a nicked substrate than ds duplex DNA. Involved in the post-incision events of nucleotide excision repair and methyl-directed mismatch repair, and probably also in repair of alkylated DNA (Probable).

Ssb-binding protein, misidentified as ExoIX; Has flap endonuclease activity , but does not seem to have exonuclease activity (and. During DNA replication, flap endonucleases cleave the 5'-overhanging flap structure that is generated by displacement synthesis when DNA polymerase encounters the 5'-end of a downstream Okazaki fragment.

Methyl-directed mismatch repair protein; This protein is involved in the repair of mismatches in DNA. It is required for dam-dependent methyl-directed DNA mismatch repair. May act as a 'molecular matchmaker', a protein that promotes the formation of a stable complex between two or more DNA-binding proteins in an ATP-dependent manner without itself being part of the final effector complex. The ATPase activity of MutL is stimulated by DNA.

DNA polymerase III, theta subunit; DNA polymerase III is a complex, multichain enzyme responsible for most of the replicative synthesis in bacteria. This DNA polymerase also exhibits 3' to 5' exonuclease activity.

Exonuclease VII, large subunit; Bidirectionally degrades single-stranded DNA into large acid- insoluble oligonucleotides, which are then degraded further into small acid-soluble oligonucleotides. It can also degrade 3' or 5' ss regions extending from the termini of duplex DNA molecules and displaced ss regions.

RNase T; Trims short 3' overhangs of a variety of RNA species, leaving a one or two nucleotide 3' overhang. Responsible for the end-turnover of tRNA: specifically removes the terminal AMP residue from uncharged tRNA (tRNA-C-C-A). Also appears to be involved in tRNA biosynthesis, especially in strains lacking other exoribonucleases.
