The Mre11:Rad50 complex forms an ATP dependent molecular clamp in DNA double-strand break repair
Template:ABSTRACT PUBMED 21458667
Function
[RAD50_THEMA] Involved in DNA double-strand break repair (DSBR). The Rad50/Mre11 complex possesses single-strand endonuclease activity and ATP-dependent double-strand-specific 3'-5' exonuclease activity. Rad50 provides an ATP-dependent control of Mre11 by unwinding and/or repositioning DNA ends into the Mre11 active site (By similarity).
