Structural analysis of a trimeric assembly of the mitochondrial dynamin-like GTPase Mgm1.

abstract：:The λ exonuclease is an ATP-independent enzyme that binds to dsDNA ends and processively digests the 5'-ended strand to form 5' mononucleotides and a long 3' overhang. The crystal structure of λ exonuclease revealed a toroidal homotrimer with a central funnel-shaped channel for tracking along the DNA, and a mechanism ...
