Endonuclease MutS2

UniProtKB accession:  Q5SHT5

Grouped By:  Matching UniProtKB accession

UniProtKB description:  Endonuclease that is involved in the suppression of homologous recombination and may therefore have a key role in the control of bacterial genetic diversity. Cleaves the phosphate backbone of oligodeoxynucleotides non-sequence-specifically at the 3' side of the phosphates. Preferably incises the branched DNA structures, especially the D-loop structure over the Holliday junction. Has ATPase activity. Binds to dsDNA but not to ssDNA.
