Description | Three prime repair exonuclease (TREX)1 and TREX2 are closely related DEDDh-type DnaQ-like 3'-5' exonucleases. They contain three conserved sequence motifs known as ExoI, II, and III, with a specific Hx(4)D conserved pattern at ExoIII. These motifs contain four conserved acidic residues that participate in coordination of divalent metal ions required for catalysis. Both proteins play a role in the metabolism and clearance of DNA [ ]. | Name | Three-prime repair exonuclease 1/2 |
