Abstract excerpt
Yeast exonuclease 1 (Exo1) is induced during meiosis and plays an important role in DNA homologous recombination and mismatch correction pathways. The human homolog, an 803-amino acid protein, shares 55% similarity to the yeast Exo1. In this report, we show that the enzyme functionally complements Saccharomyces cerevisiae Exo1 in recombination of direct repeat DNA fragments, UV resistance, and mutation avoidance...
