Protein
Meiotic recombination protein dmc1
Organism
Schizosaccharomyces pombe (strain 972 / ATCC 24843)
Function
Required for meiotic recombination and cell cycle progression. Binds to single and double-stranded DNA, in the presence of magnesium, and exhibits DNA-dependent ATPase activity. Promotes DNA strand annealing and strand exchange via DNA recombinase activity and forms helical and stacked ring nucleoprotein filaments.
Similarity
Belongs to the RecA family. DMC1 subfamily.
