rec10 — Schizosaccharomyces pombe 972h-

Summary

SPAC25G10.04C, the rec10 gene on chromosome 1 of Schizosaccharomyces pombe 972h-, encodes a member of the Red1/Rec10 protein family. The gene is associated with multiple meiotic processes, including meiotic sister chromatid cohesion, meiotic DNA double-strand break formation, reciprocal meiotic recombination, gene conversion, and meiotic chromosome segregation during both meiosis I and II. It is also linked to prophase, S phase, nuclear division, sexual reproduction, nuclear movement, nuclear import, sumoylation, and DNA anabolism. The product localises to chromatin and the nucleus. Related genes in other species are associated with linear elements.
