Spo11p

Protein FULL name:

Meiosis-specific protein that initiates meiotic recombination by catalyzing the formation of double-strand breaks in DNA via a transesterification reaction; required for homologous chromosome pairing and synaptonemal complex formation


Spo11p (Saccharomyces cerevisiae) is product of expression of SPO11 gene.



Keywords:



FUNCTION: Required for meiotic recombination. Mediates DNA cleavage that forms the double-strand breaks (DSB) that initiate meiotic recombination. The action of SPO11 is important in setting off a regulatory chain of events encompassing 5' to 3' resection. When there are no SPO11-DSBs, resection of a site specific VDE-DSB takes place but it is faster than in wild-type meiosis and increases the risk of uncovering flanking homology.

SUBCELLULAR LOCATION: Nucleus.

DEVELOPMENTAL STAGE: Meiosis-specific.

SIMILARITY: Belongs to the TOP6A family.


NCBI GenPept GI number(s): 6321765
Species: Saccharomyces cerevisiae
