The MutT Proteins or “Nudix” Hydrolases, a Family of Versatile, Widely Distributed, “Housecleaning” Enzymes
Open accessAbstract
Our studies on the biochemical basis of spontaneous mutations took an interesting and unexpected turn when we discovered that a small region of amino acid homology between the MutT protein of Escherichia coli and the MutX protein of Streptococcus pneumoniae was involved in their nucleoside triphosphatase as well as their antimutator activities (1, 2, 3). Computer searches of the data banks revealed that this same small conserved region was present in a number of other proteins in organisms ranging from viruses to humans (2, 4).

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
