DNA double-strand break repair protein Mre11

UniProtKB accession:  Q9X1X0

Grouped By:  Matching UniProtKB accession

UniProtKB description:  Part of the Rad50/Mre11 complex, which is involved in the early steps of DNA double-strand break (DSB) repair (PubMed:21458667, PubMed:21937514, PubMed:24316220). The complex may facilitate opening of the processed DNA ends to aid in the recruitment of HerA and NurA (By similarity). Mre11 binds to DSB ends and has both double-stranded 3'-5' exonuclease activity and single-stranded endonuclease activity (Probable) (PubMed:20122942, PubMed:21458667, PubMed:24316220).
