... similar to those of FEN-1 and EXO-1, and the molecular mass of DmGEN wasfound to be close to that of EXO-1. Therefore, we pro-posed a new class (class IV) to categorize DmGEN and SEND-1, which ... BF2 and BF3 – were 15,17 and 19 bp, respectively (Fig. 7A). The single-stran-ded region of the BF structure was 19 bp, and the gapsizes of the blocked strand of BF1, BF2 and BF3 were4, 2 and ... biochemical properties of native and anactive-site mutant DmGEN to more deeply understandthe nature of this new class of nucleases. As for the biochemical features, class I consists of XPG homologues,...
