Werner syndrome helicase contains a 5'-->3' exonuclease activity that digests DNA and RNA strands in DNA/DNA and RNA/DNA duplexes dependent on unwinding.

We show that WRN helicase contains a unique 5'-->3' exonuclease activity in the N-terminal region. Adeletion mutant lacking 231 N-terminal amino acid residues, made in a baculovirus system, did nothave this activity, while it showed ATPase and DNA helicase activities. This exonuclease a...
