Putative exonuclease, RdgC Members of the RdgC family may have exonuclease activity. RdgC is required for efficient pilin variation in Neisseria gonorrhoeae, suggesting that it may be involved in recombination reactions. In Escherichia coli, RdgC is required for growth in recombination-deficient exonuclease-depleted strains. Under these conditions, RdgC may act as an exonuclease to remove collapsed replication forks, in the absence of the normal repair mechanisms.
