'''Product bound structure of exonuclease I at 1.5 angstrom resolution'''
'''Product bound structure of exonuclease I at 1.5 angstrom resolution'''


==Overview==
In Escherichia coli, exonuclease I (ExoI) is a monomeric processive 3'-5' exonuclease that degrades single-stranded DNA. The enzyme has been implicated as primarily being involved in repairing frameshift mutations. The structure of the enzyme has previously been determined in a hexagonal space group at 2.4 A resolution. Here, the structure of ExoI in complex with a nucleotide product, thymidine 5'-monophosphate, is described in an orthorhombic space group at 1.5 A resolution. This new high-resolution structure provides some insight into the interactions involved in binding a nucleotide product. The conserved active site contains a unique metal-binding position when compared with orthologous sites in the Klenow fragment, T4 DNA polymerase and dnaQ. This unique difference is proposed to be a consequence of the repositioning of an important histidine, His181, away from the active site.
