Rad17-Mec3-Ddc1 checkpoint clamp complex 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
Enables the DNA repair pathways to restore the integrity of the DNA prior to DNA synthesis or separation of the replicated chromosomes. Associates with sites of DNA damage and modulates the MEC1 signaling pathway and the activation of RAD53 in response to DNA damage at phase G1. Loads onto DNA in an ATP-dependent manner through its interaction with the RAD24-RFC checkpoint clamp loader complex (CPX-1807). The comples is reported as showing no detectable exonuclease activity. The complex also physically regulates DNA polymerase zeta-dependent mutagenesis by controlling the access of polymerase zeta to damaged DNA.
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.
