Abstract excerpt
Exonuclease II (ExoII) from Schizosaccharomyces pombe is a 5'-->3' single-stranded DNA exonuclease. We have cloned its gene, exo2, whose nucleotide sequence revealed that ExoII is a homologue of the multifunctional Saccharomyces cerevisiae Sep1 protein (also called Kem1, Xrn1, Rar5, Dst2). S. pombe exo2 null mutants were cold-sensitive for growth, had increased cell size at the restrictive temperature, were...
