| | GO:0004520 | | endodeoxyribonuclease activity | | Catalysis of the hydrolysis of ester linkages within deoxyribonucleic acid by creating internal breaks. |
| | 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. |
| | GO:0003676 | | nucleic acid binding | | Interacting selectively and non-covalently with any nucleic acid. |
| | GO:0042803 | | protein homodimerization activity | | Interacting selectively and non-covalently with an identical protein to form a homodimer. |
| | GO:0043565 | | sequence-specific DNA binding | | Interacting selectively and non-covalently with DNA of a specific nucleotide composition, e.g. GC-rich DNA binding, or with a specific sequence motif or type of DNA e.g. promotor binding or rDNA binding. |
| biological process |
|---|
| | GO:0000737 | | DNA catabolic process, endonucleolytic | | The chemical reactions and pathways resulting in the breakdown of DNA, involving the hydrolysis of internal 3',5'-phosphodiester bonds in one or two strands of deoxyribonucleotides. |
| | GO:0006401 | | RNA catabolic process | | The chemical reactions and pathways resulting in the breakdown of RNA, ribonucleic acid, one of the two main type of nucleic acid, consisting of a long, unbranched macromolecule formed from ribonucleotides joined in 3',5'-phosphodiester linkage. |
| | 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:0006309 | | apoptotic DNA fragmentation | | The cleavage of DNA during apoptosis, which usually occurs in two stages: cleavage into fragments of about 50 kbp followed by cleavage between nucleosomes to yield 200 bp fragments. |
| | GO:0006915 | | apoptotic process | | A programmed cell death process which begins when a cell receives an internal (e.g. DNA damage) or external signal (e.g. an extracellular death ligand), and proceeds through a series of biochemical events (signaling pathway phase) which trigger an execution phase. The execution phase is the last step of an apoptotic process, and is typically characterized by rounding-up of the cell, retraction of pseudopodes, reduction of cellular volume (pyknosis), chromatin condensation, nuclear fragmentation (karyorrhexis), plasma membrane blebbing and fragmentation of the cell into apoptotic bodies. When the execution phase is completed, the cell has died. |
| cellular component |
|---|
| | GO:0005739 | | mitochondrion | | A semiautonomous, self replicating organelle that occurs in varying numbers, shapes, and sizes in the cytoplasm of virtually all eukaryotic cells. It is notably the site of tissue respiration. |
