| Description | This entry describes the DndE protein encoded by an operon associated with a sulphur-containing modification to DNA (phosphorothioation)[ ]. The operon is sporadically distributed in bacteria, much like some restriction enzyme operons. DndE is part of a protein complex that also includes IscS, DndC, and DndE, involved in phosphorothioation (PT) []. DndE binds to DNA in vitro, with a preference for nicked dsDNA [], but its nicked dsDNA-binding capacity does not seem essential for PT modification []. |
