Alkaline nuclease (EC 3.1.-.-)
Background
FUNCTION: Plays a role in processing non linear or branched viral DNA intermediates in order to promote the production of mature packaged unit-length linear progeny viral DNA molecules. Exhibits endonuclease and exonuclease activities and accepts both double-stranded and single-stranded DNA as substrate. Exonuclease digestion of DNA is in the 5'-> 3' direction and the products are 5'-monophosphate nucleosides. Additionally, forms a recombinase with the major DNA-binding protein, which displays strand exchange activity. {ECO:0000255|HAMAP-Rule:MF_04009}.
