Type: | Family | Name: | Flap structure-specific endonuclease, archaea |
Description: | This entry represents an endonuclease that cleaves the 5'-overhanging flap structure that is generated by displacement synthesis when DNA polymerase encounters the 5'-end of a downstream Okazaki fragment []. It has 5'-endo-/exonuclease and 5'-pseudo-Y-endonuclease activities and cleaves the junction between single and double-stranded regions of flap DNA. | Short Name: | Flap_structure-sp_endonuc_arc |
