    Abstract

    Over the past few years, several new 3' 5' exonucleases have been identified. In vitro studies of these enzymes have uncovered much about their potential functions in vivo, and certain organisms with a defect in 3' 5' exonucleases have an increased susceptibility to cancer, especially under conditions of stress. Here, we look at not only the newly discovered enzymes, but also at the roles of other 3' 5' exonucleases in the quality control of DNA synthesis, where they act as proofreading exonucleases for DNA polymerases during DNA replication, repair and recombination.

      Related information

      • Related Citations
        Calculated set of PubMed citations closely related to the selected article(s) retrieved using a word weight algorithm. Related articles are displayed in ranked order from most to least relevant, with the “linked from” citation displayed first.
      • Gene
        Gene records that cite the current articles. Citations in Gene are added manually by NCBI or imported from outside public resources.
      • HomoloGene
        HomoloGene clusters of homologous genes and sequences that cite the current articles. These are references on the Gene and sequence records in the HomoloGene entry.
      • Nucleotide (RefSeq)
        NCBI nucleotide Reference Sequences (RefSeqs) that are cited in the current articles, included in the corresponding Gene Reference into Function, or that include the PubMed articles as references.
      • Nucleotide (Weighted)
        Nucleotide records associated with the current articles through the Gene database. These are the related sequences on the Gene record that are added manually by NCBI.
      • Protein (RefSeq)
        NCBI protein Reference Sequences (RefSeqs) that are cited in the current articles, included in the corresponding Gene Reference into Function, or that include the PubMed articles as references.
      • Protein (Weighted)
        Protein records associated with the current articles through related Gene database records. These are the related sequences on the Gene record that are added manually by NCBI.
      • Protein Clusters
        Clusters of related proteins from the Protein Clusters database that cite the current articles. Sources of references in Protein Clusters include the associated Gene and Conserved Domain records as well as NCBI added citations.
      • Taxonomy via GenBank
        Taxonomy records associated with the current articles through taxonomic information on related molecular database records (Nucleotide, Protein, Gene, SNP, Structure).
      • UniGene
        UniGene clusters of expressed sequences that are associated with the current articles through references on the clustered sequence records and related Gene records.
      • Domains
        Conserved Domain Database (CDD) records that cite the current articles. Citations are from the CDD source database records (PFAM, SMART).
      • GEO Profiles
        Gene Expression Omnibus (GEO) Profiles of molecular abundance data. The current articles are references on the Gene record associated with the GEO profile.
      • Cited in PMC
        Full-text articles in the PubMed Central Database that cite the current articles.
      • Cited in Books
        NCBI Bookshelf books that cite the current articles.
