Abstract
Original and published data on the antimutagenic role of autonomous 3′ → 5′-exonucleases (AE) are analyzed. AE are not bound covalently to DNA polymerases but are often involved in replicative complexes. AE overproduction in bacterial cells is accompanied by a sharp suppression of mutagenesis, whereas AE inactivation in bacteria and higher fungi results in the increase in mutation rates by two to three orders of magnitude. The combined action of AE and DNA polymerases substantially improves the fidelity of their functioning
