Abstract excerpt
The mutL gene of Neisseria gonorrhoeae has been cloned and the gene product purified. We have found that the homodimeric N. gonorrhoeae MutL (NgoL) protein displays an endonuclease activity that incises covalently closed circular DNA in the presence of Mn(2+), Mg(2+) or Ca(2+) ions, unlike human MutLalpha which shows endonuclease activity only in the presence of Mn(2+). We report in the present paper that the...
