Catalysis of the hydrolysis of ester linkages within nucleic acids by creating internal breaks to yield 3'-phosphomonoesters. Catalysis of the repair of T/G mismatches arising from deamination of 5-methylcytosine in DNA by nicking double-stranded DNA within the sequence CT(AT)GN or NT(AT)GG next to the mismatched thymidine residue. The incision is mismatch-dependent and strand-specific, in favor of the G-containing strand. The incision serves as a starting point for subsequent excision repair by DNA polymerase I, which excises thymidine and reinserts cytidine. Catalysis of the hydrolysis of ester linkages within nucleic acids. Catalysis of the hydrolysis of ester linkages within nucleic acids by creating internal breaks. Catalysis of the hydrolysis of ester linkages within nucleic acids by creating internal breaks to yield 5'-phosphomonoesters. Catalysis of the hydrolysis of ester linkages within deoxyribonucleic acid by creating internal breaks. Catalysis of the hydrolysis of any ester bond. Catalysis of the hydrolysis of ester linkages within ribonucleic acid by creating internal breaks.
