The DNA transporter ComEC has metal‐dependent nuclease activity that is important for natural transformation
In the process of natural transformation bacteria import extracellular DNA molecules for integration into their genome. One strand of the incoming DNA molecule is degraded, whereas the remaining strand is transported across the cytoplasmic membrane. The DNA transport channel is provided by the prote...
