  • Title: Processivity of DNA exonucleases.
    Author: Thomas KR, Olivera BM.
    Journal: J Biol Chem; 1978 Jan 25; 253(2):424-9. PubMed ID: 338608.
    Abstract:
    A homopolymer system has been developed to examine the digestion strategies of DNA exonucleases. Escherichia coli exonuclease I and lambda-exonuclease, are processive enzymes. However, T7 exonuclease, spleen exonuclease, E. coli exonuclease III, the 3' leads to 5'-exonuclease of T4 DNA polymerase, and both the 3' leads to 5' and the 5' leads to 3' activity of E. coli DNA polymerase I dissociate frequently from the substrate during the course of digestion. Regions of duplex DNA are a dissociation signal for exonuclease I.
