Type: | Family | Name: | Mutator MutX protein |
Description: | Like MutT (), MutX protein hydrolyses all canonical nucleoside triphosphates at different rates, with a preference for dGTP, yielding nucleoside monophosphates and inorganic pyrophosphate []. Despite thesimilarity in enzymatic activity, the two proteins have distinct primary and quaternary structures. Their sequences share only a small region of similarity (the MutT domain), and under the same conditions in which MutT exists as a monomer in solution, MutX behaves as a trimer []. | Short Name: | Mutator_MutX_prot |
