IPR004579

Description

IPR004579 is a ERCC1/RAD10/SWI10 family.

<p>This group of proteins includes Rad10 from budding yeasts, Swi10 from fission yeasts and ERCC-1 from animals and plants. All proteins in this family for which functions are known are components in a multiprotein endonuclease complex (usually made up of Rad1 and Rad10 homologues). This complex is used primarily for nucleotide excision repair but also for some aspects of recombination repair.</p> <p>In budding yeast, Rad10 works as a heterodimer with Rad1, and is involved in nucleotide excision repair of DNA damaged with UV light, bulky adducts or cross-linking agents. The complex forms an endonuclease which specifically degrades single-stranded DNA [[cite:PUB00075513]].</p> <p>ERCC1 and XPF (xeroderma pigmentosum group F-complementing protein) are two structure-specific endonucleases of a class of seven containing an ERCC4 domain. Together they form an obligate complex that functions primarily in nucleotide excision repair (NER), a versatile pathway able to detect and remove a variety of DNA lesions induced by UV light and environmental carcinogens, and secondarily in DNA inter-strand cross-link repair and telomere maintenance. This domain in fact binds simultaneously to both XPF and single-stranded DNA; this ternary complex explains the important role of Ercc1 in targeting its catalytic XPF partner to the NER pre-incision complex [[cite:PUB00044709]].</p>

GO term Namespace Name Definition Relationships
Molecular function Damaged DNA binding Interacting selectively and non-covalently with damaged DNA.
Molecular function Endonuclease activity Catalysis of the hydrolysis of ester linkages within nucleic acids by creating internal breaks.
Cellular component Nucleus A membrane-bounded organelle of eukaryotic cells in which chromosomes are housed and replicated. In most cells, the nucleus contains all of the cell's chromosomes except the organellar chromosomes, and is the site of RNA synthesis and processing. In some species, or in specialized cell types, RNA metabolism or DNA replication may be absent.
Biological process DNA repair The process of restoring DNA after damage. Genomes are subject to damage by chemical and physical agents in the environment (e.g. UV and ionizing radiations, chemical mutagens, fungal and bacterial toxins, etc.) and by free radicals or alkylating agents endogenously generated in metabolism. DNA is also damaged because of errors during its replication. A variety of different DNA repair pathways have been reported that include direct reversal, base excision repair, nucleotide excision repair, photoreactivation, bypass, double-strand break repair pathway, and mismatch repair pathway.
