Untwisting of the DNA helix stimulates the endonuclease activity of Bacillus subtilis Nth at AP sites

Bacterial nucleoid associated proteins play a variety of roles in genome maintenance and dynamics. Their involvement in genome packaging, DNA replication and transcription are well documented but it is still unclear whether they play any specific roles in genome repair. We discovered that untwisting...
