Figure 5From: Efficient 5′-3′ DNA end resection by HerA and NurA is essential for cell viability in the crenarchaeon Sulfolobus islandicus The time courses of the exonuclease and endonuclease activities of HerA-NurA complexes on dsDNA. The assay was performed in 20 μl reaction mixture as described in the Methods. The reactions were stopped at the indicating times by the addition of 5× loading buffer and putting the tubes on ice. The representative gels and the means ± standard deviations of three independent experiments are shown. (A) 3′-overhang. (B) blunt-ended DNA.Back to article page
