Abstract excerpt
TREX1, originally designated DNase III, was isolated as a major nuclear DNA-specific 3'-->5' exonuclease that is widely distributed in both proliferating and nonproliferating mammalian tissues. The cognate cDNA shows homology to the editing subunit of the Escherichia coli replicative DNA polymerase III holoenzyme and encodes an exonuclease which was able to serve a DNA-editing function in vitro, promoting...
