FunFam 7: Double-strand break repair protein

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 16 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
Meiotic DNA double-strand break processing GO:0000706
The cell cycle process in which the 5' to 3' exonucleolytic resection of the DNA at the site of the break to form a 3' single-strand DNA overhang occurs. This takes place during meiosis.
2 P32829 (/TAS) P32829 (/TAS)
Telomere maintenance GO:0000723
Any process that contributes to the maintenance of proper telomeric length and structure by affecting and monitoring the activity of telomeric proteins, the length of telomeric DNA and the replication and repair of the DNA. These processes includes those that shorten, lengthen, replicate and repair the telomeric DNA sequences.
2 P32829 (/IMP) P32829 (/IMP)
Double-strand break repair via break-induced replication GO:0000727
The error-free repair of a double-strand break in DNA in which the centromere-proximal end of a broken chromosome searches for a homologous region in an intact chromosome. DNA synthesis initiates from the 3' end of the invading DNA strand, using the intact chromosome as the template, and progresses to the end of the chromosome.
2 P32829 (/IGI) P32829 (/IGI)
Double-strand break repair via break-induced replication GO:0000727
The error-free repair of a double-strand break in DNA in which the centromere-proximal end of a broken chromosome searches for a homologous region in an intact chromosome. DNA synthesis initiates from the 3' end of the invading DNA strand, using the intact chromosome as the template, and progresses to the end of the chromosome.
2 P32829 (/IMP) P32829 (/IMP)
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.
2 P32829 (/IMP) P32829 (/IMP)
Base-excision repair GO:0006284
In base excision repair, an altered base is removed by a DNA glycosylase enzyme, followed by excision of the resulting sugar phosphate. The small gap left in the DNA helix is filled in by the sequential action of DNA polymerase and DNA ligase.
2 P32829 (/IMP) P32829 (/IMP)
Double-strand break repair GO:0006302
The repair of double-strand breaks in DNA via homologous and nonhomologous mechanisms to reform a continuous DNA helix.
2 P32829 (/IMP) P32829 (/IMP)
Double-strand break repair via nonhomologous end joining GO:0006303
The repair of a double-strand break in DNA in which the two broken ends are rejoined with little or no sequence complementarity. Information at the DNA ends may be lost due to the modification of broken DNA ends. This term covers instances of separate pathways, called classical (or canonical) and alternative nonhomologous end joining (C-NHEJ and A-NHEJ). These in turn may further branch into sub-pathways, but evidence is still unclear.
2 P32829 (/IMP) P32829 (/IMP)
Reciprocal meiotic recombination GO:0007131
The cell cycle process in which double strand breaks are formed and repaired through a double Holliday junction intermediate. This results in the equal exchange of genetic material between non-sister chromatids in a pair of homologous chromosomes. These reciprocal recombinant products ensure the proper segregation of homologous chromosomes during meiosis I and create genetic diversity.
2 P32829 (/IMP) P32829 (/IMP)
Meiotic DNA double-strand break formation involved in reciprocal meiotic recombination GO:0010780
The cell cycle process in which double-strand breaks are generated at defined hotspots throughout the genome during meiosis I resulting in meiotic recombination. Meiotic recombination is the cell cycle process in which double strand breaks are formed and repaired through a double Holliday junction intermediate.
2 P32829 (/IMP) P32829 (/IMP)
DNA double-strand break processing involved in repair via synthesis-dependent strand annealing GO:0010791
The 5' to 3' exonucleolytic resection of the DNA at the site of the break to form a 3' single-strand DNA overhang that results in the repair of a double strand break via synthesis-dependent strand annealing.
2 P32829 (/IMP) P32829 (/IMP)
Ascospore formation GO:0030437
The process in which cells that are products of meiosis acquire the specialized features of ascospores. Ascospores are generally found in clusters of four or eight spores within a single mother cell, the ascus, and are characteristic of the ascomycete fungi (phylum Ascomycota).
2 P32829 (/IMP) P32829 (/IMP)
Maintenance of DNA trinucleotide repeats GO:0035753
Any process involved in sustaining the fidelity and copy number of DNA trinucleotide repeats. DNA trinucleotide repeats are naturally occurring runs of three base-pairs.
2 P32829 (/IMP) P32829 (/IMP)
Meiotic DNA double-strand break formation GO:0042138
The cell cycle process in which double-strand breaks are generated at defined hotspots throughout the genome during meiosis I. This results in the initiation of meiotic recombination.
2 P32829 (/TAS) P32829 (/TAS)
Regulation of transcription involved in meiotic cell cycle GO:0051037
Any process that modulates the frequency, rate or extent of transcription as part of a meiotic cell cycle.
2 P32829 (/IMP) P32829 (/IMP)
