Abstract excerpt
Drosophila Rrp1 has several tightly associated enzymatic activities, including double-strand DNA 3'-exonuclease, apurinic/apyrimidinic endonuclease, 3'-phosphatase, and 3'-phosphodiesterase. The carboxyl-terminal third of Rrp1, homologous to Escherichia coli exonuclease III, is sufficient to repair oxidative and alkylation-induced DNA damage in vivo. Using a screen for partial complementation of repair-deficient...
