Protein
Meiotic recombination protein REC114
Organism
Saccharomyces cerevisiae (strain ATCC 204508 / S288c)
Function
Required for the production of double-strand breaks (DSBs) in meiotic recombination initiation; not required for mitosis. Plays a role in activation of the DSB nuclease SPO11 at recombination hotspots. Prevents accumulation of meiotic double strand break intermediates and is needed for the proper timing of the first meiotic division. Component of the MER2-MEI4-REC114 complex which seems to be required for meiotic double-strand break (DSB) formation.
Similarity
Belongs to the REC114 family.
