Exonucleases (ExN) cleave nucleotides at the end of a polynucleotide chain[1]. In E. coli there are ExN I to VIII. ExN were found in human and yeast as well.

 
  • ExN-I cleaves single-stranded DNA.
  • ExN-II is associated with DNA polymerase.
  • ExN-III cleaves double-stranded DNA.
  • ExN-IV cleavage results in nucleoside monophosphate.
  • ExN-V cleaves linear double-stranded DNA.
  • ExN-VIII requires a free 5’ OH group for reacting.
