Exonuc_VIII
PFAM accession number:PF06630
Interpro abstract (IPR010584):

This represents the exodeoxyribonuclease 8 (EXO VIII) proteins from Enterobacteriaceae. Exonuclease VIII from Escherichia coli is involved in the RecE pathway of recombination and has been shown to preferentially degrade linear duplex DNA [ (PUBMED:6309804) ].

GO process:nucleic acid phosphodiester bond hydrolysis (GO:0090305)
GO function:double-stranded DNA 5'-3' exodeoxyribonuclease activity (GO:0051908)
