Protein
MEIOTIC F-BOX protein MOF
Organism
Oryza sativa subsp. japonica
Function
Probable component of a SCF (SKP1-CULLIN-F-box protein) E3 ubiquitin-protein ligase complex and may function through the ubiquitin-mediated protein degradation or signaling pathway. Required for male meiotic prophase I progression. Required for telomere bouquet formation, homologous chromosome pairing and for the formation of the synaptonemal complex (SC), which stabilizes initial chromosomal axial associations and promotes crossover formation. Involved in meiotic DNA double-strand break (DSB) end-processing and repair, and is important in the recruitment of DSB repair proteins to the DSB sites.
Similarity
Belongs to the F-box protein family. FBX subfamily.
