Abstract excerpt
DNA 3'-phosphatase (Tpp1) from Saccharomyces cerevisiae, a homologue of human polynucleotide kinase/3'-phosphatase, has been shown to participate in DNA damage repair by removing 3'-phosphate blocking lesions. Tpp1 shows similarity to the l-2-haloacid dehalogenase superfamily of enzymes. By comparison to phosphoserine phosphatase, a well-studied member of this family, we designed conservative and nonconservative...
