The name of this superfamily has been modified since the most recent official CATH+ release (v4_3_0). At the point of the last release, this superfamily was named:

"
Helix-hairpin-Helix base-excision DNA repair enzymes (C-terminal)
".

FunFam 4: DNA glycosylase/AP lyase ROS1

Please note: GO annotations are assigned to the full protein sequence rather than individual protein domains. Since a given protein can contain multiple domains, it is possible that some of the annotations below come from additional domains that occur in the same protein, but have been classified elsewhere in CATH.

There are 8 GO terms relating to "molecular function"

The search results have been sorted with the annotations that are found most frequently at the top of the list. The results can be filtered by typing text into the search box at the top of the table.
GO Term Annotations Evidence
DNA N-glycosylase activity GO:0019104
Catalysis of the removal of damaged bases by cleaving the N-C1' glycosidic bond between the target damaged DNA base and the deoxyribose sugar. The reaction releases a free base and leaves an apurinic/apyrimidinic (AP) site.
3 O49498 (/IDA) Q8LK56 (/IDA) Q9SJQ6 (/IDA)
DNA-(apurinic or apyrimidinic site) endonuclease activity GO:0003906
Catalysis of the cleavage of the C-O-P bond in the AP site created when DNA glycosylase removes a damaged base, involved in the DNA base excision repair pathway (BER).
2 Q8LK56 (/IDA) Q9SJQ6 (/IDA)
DNA N-glycosylase activity GO:0019104
Catalysis of the removal of damaged bases by cleaving the N-C1' glycosidic bond between the target damaged DNA base and the deoxyribose sugar. The reaction releases a free base and leaves an apurinic/apyrimidinic (AP) site.
2 Q8LK56 (/ISS) Q9SJQ6 (/ISS)
DNA-(apurinic or apyrimidinic site) endonuclease activity GO:0003906
Catalysis of the cleavage of the C-O-P bond in the AP site created when DNA glycosylase removes a damaged base, involved in the DNA base excision repair pathway (BER).
1 Q9SJQ6 (/ISS)
Protein binding GO:0005515
Interacting selectively and non-covalently with any protein or protein complex (a complex of two or more proteins that may include other nonprotein molecules).
1 Q9SJQ6 (/IPI)
DNA N-glycosylase activity GO:0019104
Catalysis of the removal of damaged bases by cleaving the N-C1' glycosidic bond between the target damaged DNA base and the deoxyribose sugar. The reaction releases a free base and leaves an apurinic/apyrimidinic (AP) site.
1 Q9SJQ6 (/TAS)
DNA demethylase activity GO:0035514
Catalysis of the removal of a methyl group from one or more nucleosides within a DNA molecule.
1 C7IW64 (/IDA)
Cytosine C-5 DNA demethylase activity GO:0051747
Catalysis of the reaction: methyl-dCpdG DNA + H2O = dCpdG DNA + methanol. This reaction is the hydrolytic removal of the methyl group on the 5 position of cytosine in DNA.

There are 11 GO terms relating to "biological process"

The search results have been sorted with the annotations that are found most frequently at the top of the list. The results can be filtered by typing text into the search box at the top of the table.
GO Term Annotations Evidence
DNA methylation GO:0006306
The covalent transfer of a methyl group to either N-6 of adenine or C-5 or N-4 of cytosine.
2 Q8LK56 (/IDA) Q9SJQ6 (/IDA)
DNA demethylation GO:0080111
The removal of a methyl group from one or more nucleotides within an DNA molecule.
2 B8YIE8 (/IDA) C7IW64 (/IDA)
DNA repair GO:0006281
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.
1 Q9SJQ6 (/IMP)
Chromatin silencing GO:0006342
Repression of transcription by altering the structure of chromatin, e.g. by conversion of large regions of DNA into an inaccessible state often called heterochromatin.
1 Q9SJQ6 (/IMP)
Regulation of gene expression by genetic imprinting GO:0006349
Heritable alterations in the activity of a gene that depend on whether it passed through the paternal or the maternal germline, but that are not encoded by DNA itself.
1 Q8LK56 (/IMP)
Embryo development ending in seed dormancy GO:0009793
The process whose specific outcome is the progression of the embryo over time, from zygote formation to the end of seed dormancy. An example of this process is found in Arabidopsis thaliana.
1 Q8LK56 (/IMP)
Maintenance of DNA methylation GO:0010216
Any process involved in maintaining the methylation state of a nucleotide sequence.
1 O49498 (/IMP)
Negative regulation of chromatin silencing GO:0031936
Any process that stops, prevents, or reduces the frequency, rate or extent of chromatin silencing.
1 Q9SJQ6 (/IMP)
Gametophyte development GO:0048229
The process whose specific outcome is the progression of the gametophyte over time, from its formation to the mature structure. The gametophyte is the gamete-producing individual or phase in the life cycle having alternation of generations. An example of this process is found in Arabidopsis thaliana.
1 C7IW64 (/IMP)
Defense response to fungus GO:0050832
Reactions triggered in response to the presence of a fungus that act to protect the cell or organism.
1 Q9SJQ6 (/IMP)
DNA demethylation GO:0080111
The removal of a methyl group from one or more nucleotides within an DNA molecule.

GO Term Annotations Evidence
Nucleus GO:0005634
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.
