| UniProt functional annotation for Q5SJ47 | |||
| UniProt code: Q5SJ47. |
| Organism: | Thermus thermophilus (strain ATCC 27634 / DSM 579 / HB8). | |
| Taxonomy: | Bacteria; Deinococcus-Thermus; Deinococci; Thermales; Thermaceae; Thermus. | |
| Function: | Single-stranded-DNA-specific exonuclease acting in a 5' to 3' direction; has no detectable activity on ssRNA. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:21087930}. | |
| Cofactor: | Name=Mg(2+); Xref=ChEBI:CHEBI:18420; Evidence={ECO:0000269|PubMed:21087930}; Name=Mn(2+); Xref=ChEBI:CHEBI:29035; Evidence={ECO:0000269|PubMed:21087930}; Name=Co(2+); Xref=ChEBI:CHEBI:48828; Evidence={ECO:0000269|PubMed:21087930}; Note=Requires a divalent cation; Mg(2+) > Mn(2+) > Co(2+). Structures with 1 Mg(2+), or 1 or 2 Mn(2+) were determined; the authors conclude 2 metal ions are required for activity. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:21087930}; | |
| Biophysicochemical properties: | Kinetic parameters: KM=0.17 uM for ssDNA 6-mers {ECO:0000269|PubMed:21087930}; KM=0.084 uM for ssDNA 11-mers {ECO:0000269|PubMed:21087930}; KM=0.037 uM for ssDNA 21-mers {ECO:0000269|PubMed:21087930}; Note=Kcat for ssDNA remains unchanged as chain length increases from 6-mers to 21-mers.; | |
| Subunit: | Monomer. Intact protein binds ss- but not dsDNA. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:20129927, ECO:0000269|PubMed:21087930}. | |
| Similarity: | Belongs to the RecJ family. {ECO:0000305}. | |
