Gene Ontology Help

Endonuclease SceI Overview

GO Annotations consist of four mandatory components: a gene product, a term from one of the three Gene Ontology (GO) controlled vocabularies (Molecular Function, Biological Process, and Cellular Component), a reference, and an evidence code.


Summary
Mitochondrial endonuclease which cleaves mitochondrial DNA during the process of mitochondrial fusion, when haploid cells are mated to form zygotic cells, to induce genetic recombination among the heterogeneous mitochondrial DNAs inherited from the parents.
GO Slim Terms

The yeast GO Slim terms are higher level terms that best represent the major S. cerevisiae biological processes, functions, and cellular components. The GO Slim terms listed here are the broader parent terms for the specific terms to which this gene product is annotated, and thus represent the more general processes, functions, and components in which it is involved.

hydrolase activity, nuclease activity, DNA metabolic process, regulation of DNA metabolic process, mitochondrion, organelle
