IPR033310

Description

IPR033310 is a Mms4/EME1/EME2.

<p>This entry includes Mms4 from budding yeast, Eme1 from fission yeasts, and EME1/EME2 from animals. They interact with Mus81 to from a complex, which acts as a structure-specific endonuclease that targets branched DNA structures with a 5'-end at the branch nick [[cite:PUB00078392], [cite:PUB00078395]]. The typical substrates of this complex include 3'-flap structures, replication forks and nicked Holliday junctions [[cite:PUB00078394], [cite:PUB00078393]].</p> <p>Similar to MUS81-EME1, human MUS81-EME2 cleaves 3'-flaps, replication forks and nicked Holliday junctions, and exhibits limited endonuclease activity with intact Holliday junctions. However, MUS81-EME2 can also cleave a variety of DNA structures including D-loop recombination intermediates and nicked duplex [[cite:PUB00078396], [cite:PUB00078397]].</p>

GO predictions are based solely on the InterPro-to-GO mappings published by EMBL-EBI, which are in turn based on the mapping of predicted domains to the InterPro dataset. The InterPro-to-GO mapping was last updated on , while the GO metadata was last updated on .

GO term Namespace Name Definition Relationships
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.
Cellular component Holliday junction resolvase complex A protein complex that mediates the conversion of a Holliday junction into two separate duplex DNA molecules; the complex includes a single- or multisubunit helicase that catalyzes the extension of heteroduplex DNA by branch migration and a nuclease that resolves the junction by nucleolytic cleavage.
