A domain in human EXOG converts apoptotic endonuclease to DNA-repair exonuclease
Human EXOG is crucial for mitochondrial DNA repair. Here the authors present the crystal structures of hEXOG in apo form and as DNA complex and suggest a `tape-measure' activity to generate optimal substrates for mitochondrial base excision repair.
