MHF2

Gene
MHF2
Protein
Protein MHF2 homolog
Organism
Arabidopsis thaliana
Length
104 amino acids
Function
Acts in the same pathway as FANCM to restrain class II meiotic crossing over (CO), and acts with FANCM during meiosis to repair interstrand cross-links (ICLs).
Similarity
Belongs to the CENP-X/MHF2 family.
Mass
11.681 kDa

Gene
mhf2
Protein
Inner kinetochore subunit mhf2
Organism
Schizosaccharomyces pombe (strain 972 / ATCC 24843)
Length
89 amino acids
Function
dsDNA-binding component of a FANCM-MHF complex involved in DNA damage repair and genome maintenance (PubMed:24026537). FANCM-MHF promotes gene conversion at blocked replication forks, probably by reversal of the stalled fork (Probable) (PubMed:24026537). FANCM-MHF promotes non-crossover recombination both in mitotic and meiotic cells (PubMed:22723423, PubMed:24026537). Component of the kinetochore, a multiprotein complex that assembles on centromeric DNA and attaches chromosomes to spindle microtubules, mediating chromosome segregation and sister chromatid segregation during meiosis and mitosis. Component of the inner kinetochore constitutive centromere-associated network (CCAN), which serves as a structural platform for outer kinetochore assembly (PubMed:24026537).
Similarity
Belongs to the CENP-X/MHF2 family.
