Descriptions

Human exonuclease 1 (Exo1) plays important roles in DNA repair and recombination processes that maintain genomic integrity. It is a member of the 50 structure-specific nuclease family of exonucleases and endonucleases that includes FEN-1, XPG, and GEN1.<br>Upon mismatch recognition, first MutSα searches for Exo1 via bidirectional, one-dimensional diffusion along the DNA. Next, MutSα encounters Exo1 prebound at a nick and interacts with the C-terminal domain of Exo1, thereby alleviating the autoinhibition of the Exo1.

1 GO annotations of cellular component

Name Definition
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.

6 GO annotations of molecular function

Name Definition
5'-3' DNA exonuclease activity Catalysis of the sequential cleavage of mononucleotides from a free 5' terminus of a DNA molecule.
5'-flap endonuclease activity Catalysis of the cleavage of a 5' flap structure in DNA, but not other DNA structures; processes the 5' ends of Okazaki fragments in lagging strand DNA synthesis.
DNA binding Any molecular function by which a gene product interacts selectively and non-covalently with DNA (deoxyribonucleic acid).
flap endonuclease activity Catalysis of the cleavage of a flap structure in DNA, but not other DNA structures; processes the ends of Okazaki fragments in lagging strand DNA synthesis.
metal ion binding Binding to a metal ion.
single-stranded DNA 5'-3' DNA exonuclease activity Catalysis of the sequential cleavage of nucleotides (such as mononucleotides or dinucleotides) from a free 5' terminus of a single-stranded DNA molecule.

3 GO annotations of biological process

Name Definition
DNA double-strand break processing The 5' to 3' exonucleolytic resection of the DNA at the site of the break to form a 3' single-strand DNA overhang.
DNA recombination Any process in which a new genotype is formed by reassortment of genes resulting in gene combinations different from those that were present in the parents. In eukaryotes genetic recombination can occur by chromosome assortment, intrachromosomal recombination, or nonreciprocal interchromosomal recombination. Interchromosomal recombination occurs by crossing over. In bacteria it may occur by genetic transformation, conjugation, transduction, or F-duction.
mismatch repair A system for the correction of errors in which an incorrect base, which cannot form hydrogen bonds with the corresponding base in the parent strand, is incorporated into the daughter strand. The mismatch repair system promotes genomic fidelity by repairing base-base mismatches, insertion-deletion loops and heterologies generated during DNA replication and recombination.
