SPO11

Gene Information
  • Official Symbol: SPO11
  • Official Name: SPO11 initiator of meiotic double stranded breaks
  • Aliases and Previous Symbols: N/A
  • Entrez ID: 23626
  • UniProt: Q9Y5K1
  • Interactions: BioGRID
  • PubMed articles: Open PubMed
  • OMIM: Open OMIM
Function Summary
  • Entrez Summary: N/A
  • UniProt Summary: Component of a topoisomerase 6 complex specifically required for meiotic recombination. Together with TOP6BL, mediates DNA cleavage that forms the double-strand breaks (DSB) that initiate meiotic recombination. The complex promotes relaxation of negative and positive supercoiled DNA and DNA decatenation through cleavage and ligation cycles. Essential for the phosphorylation of SMC3, HORMAD1 and HORMAD2. {ECO:0000250|UniProtKB:Q9WTK8}.
