rec27 — Schizosaccharomyces pombe 972h-

Summary

SPBC577.05C (rec27) on chromosome 2 of Schizosaccharomyces pombe 972h- encodes a protein with chromatin DNA binding activity. The gene is associated with meiotic DNA double-strand break formation involved in reciprocal meiotic recombination, homologous recombination, gene conversion, meiotic chromosome segregation, sister chromatid cohesion, and nuclear division. It is also linked to the second meiotic division, meiotic S phase, karyogamy, prophase, sumoylation, nuclear import, sexual reproduction, and PTM. The product localizes to chromatin, the cytosol, and the nucleus. Related genes in other species further connect rec27 to the linear element.
