Functional characterization of the meiosis-specific DNA double-strand break inducing factor SPO-11 from C. elegans

Abstract The programmed induction of meiotic DNA double-strand breaks (DSBs) by the evolutionarily conserved SPO-11 protein, which is structurally related to archaeal Topo VIA topoisomerases, triggers meiotic recombination. Identification of several meiosis-specific factors that are required for SPO...
