The Methanothermobacter thermautotrophicus ExoIII homologue Mth212 is a DNA uridine endonuclease
The genome of Methanothermobacter thermautotrophicus, as a hitherto unique case, is apparently devoid of genes coding for general uracil DNA glycosylases, the universal mediators of base excision repair following hydrolytic deamination of DNA cytosine residues. We have now identified protein Mth212,...
