Grouped By:  Matching UniProtKB accession

UniProtKB description:  Involved in DNA double-strand break repair (DSBR) (PubMed:21458667, PubMed:21937514, PubMed:25349191). The Rad50/Mre11 complex possesses single-strand endonuclease activity and ATP-dependent double-strand-specific 3'-5' exonuclease activity (PubMed:21458667, PubMed:21937514, PubMed:25349191). Rad50 provides an ATP-dependent control of Mre11 by positioning DNA ends into the Mre11 active site: ATP-binding induces a large structural change from an open form with accessible Mre11 nuclease sites into a closed form (PubMed:21458667, PubMed:21937514, PubMed:25349191).
