From: CiAPEX2 and CiP0, candidates of AP endonucleases in Ciona intestinalis, have 3′-5′ exonuclease activity and contribute to protection against oxidative stress

Fig. 4

CiAPEX2 and CiP0 confer oxidative stress resistance to AP endonuclease-deficient E. coli. Growth rate of the E. coli RPC501 carrying pGEX-CiP0 (▲), pGEX-CiAPEX2 (■) or pGEX (). Dashed lines indicate the growth rate of the E. coli with 300 μM H2O2 treatment and solid lines indicate the E. coli with no H2O2 treatment. Longitudinal axis represents the fold change relative to E. coli optical density at 0 h. The values represent the mean ± standard deviation (n = 3). a Complementation assay focused on CiAPEX2. b Complementation assay focused on CiP0
