molecular function |
| GO:0003677 | | DNA binding | | Any molecular function by which a gene product interacts selectively and non-covalently with DNA (deoxyribonucleic acid). |
| GO:0008979 | | prophage integrase activity | | Catalysis of the integration of prophage DNA into a target DNA molecule, usually a bacterial chromosome, via a sequence-specific recombination event which involves the formation of an intasome, a DNA-protein-complex designed for site-specific recombination of the phage and host DNA. |
| 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:0015074 | | DNA integration | | The process in which a segment of DNA is incorporated into another, usually larger, DNA molecule such as a chromosome. |
| GO:0006310 | | DNA recombination | | Any process in which a new genotype is formed by reassortment of genes resulting in gene combinations different from those that were present in the parents. In eukaryotes genetic recombination can occur by chromosome assortment, intrachromosomal recombination, or nonreciprocal interchromosomal recombination. Intrachromosomal recombination occurs by crossing over. In bacteria it may occur by genetic transformation, conjugation, transduction, or F-duction. |
| GO:0075713 | | establishment of integrated proviral latency | | A process by which the virus integrates into the host genome and establishes as a stable provirus or prophage. |
| GO:0032359 | | provirus excision | | The molecular events that lead to the excision of a viral genome from the host genome. |
