Definition:

EC Tree > 3 Hydrolases > 3.1 Acting on ester bonds > 3.1.11 Exodeoxyribonucleases producing 5′-phosphomonoesters > 3.1.11.5 exodeoxyribonuclease V
Exodeoxyribonuclease V (RecD) is the ATP-dependent dsDNA helicase-exonuclease. It digests DNA in either direction in the presence of ATP, releasing 5'-phosphooligonucleotides, and acts endonucleolytically on ss circular DNA; it has DNA-dependent ATPase activity. Expected in Bacteria, Archaea and Eukaryota.
