COFACTOR: Name=Mg(2+); Xref=ChEBI:CHEBI:18420; Evidence={ECO:0000255|HAMAP-Rule:MF_04140, ECO:0000269|PubMed:12606565, ECO:0000269|PubMed:15077103, ECO:0000269|PubMed:27273516}; Name=K(+); Xref=ChEBI:CHEBI:29103; Evidence={ECO:0000255|HAMAP-Rule:MF_04140, ECO:0000269|PubMed:27273516}; Note=Binds divalent metal cations, probably Mg(2+). In vitro low metal concentrations selectively stimulate the endonuclease reaction. Endonuclease activity is suggested to require only the first cation, whereas exonuclease activity is suggested to require binding of both. High pH favors the exonuclase activity whereas low pH favors the endonuclease activity. Metal ions enhance substrate binding. {ECO:0000255|HAMAP-Rule:MF_04140, ECO:0000269|PubMed:12606565, ECO:0000269|PubMed:15077103, ECO:0000269|PubMed:27273516}; |
