molecular function |
| GO:0004519 | | endonuclease activity | | Catalysis of the hydrolysis of ester linkages within nucleic acids by creating internal breaks. |
| GO:0004521 | | endoribonuclease activity | | Catalysis of the hydrolysis of ester linkages within ribonucleic acid by creating internal breaks. |
| GO:0016787 | | hydrolase activity | | Catalysis of the hydrolysis of various bonds, e.g. C-O, C-N, C-C, phosphoric anhydride bonds, etc. Hydrolase is the systematic name for any enzyme of EC class 3. |
| GO:0046872 | | metal ion binding | | Interacting selectively and non-covalently with any metal ion. |
| GO:0004518 | | nuclease activity | | Catalysis of the hydrolysis of ester linkages within nucleic acids. |
biological process |
| GO:0090502 | | RNA phosphodiester bond hydrolysis, endonucleolytic | | The chemical reactions and pathways involving the hydrolysis of internal 3',5'-phosphodiester bonds in one or two strands of ribonucleotides. |
| GO:0051607 | | defense response to virus | | Reactions triggered in response to the presence of a virus that act to protect the cell or organism. |
| GO:0043571 | | maintenance of CRISPR repeat elements | | Any process involved in sustaining CRISPR repeat clusters, including capture of new spacer elements, expansion or contraction of clusters, propagation of the leader sequence and repeat clusters within a genome, transfer of repeat clusters and CRISPR-associated (cas) genes to new genomes, transcription of the CRISPR repeat arrays into RNA and processing, and interaction of CRISPR/cas loci with the host genome. CRISPR (clustered regularly interspaced short palindromic repeat) elements are a family of sequence elements containing multiple direct repeats of 24-48 bp with weak dyad symmetry which are separated by regularly sized nonrepetitive spacer sequences. |
| GO:0090305 | | nucleic acid phosphodiester bond hydrolysis | | The nucleic acid metabolic process in which the phosphodiester bonds between nucleotides are cleaved by hydrolysis. |
