Spo11

Spo11

Spo11 is a protein used in a complex along with Mre11 and Rad50 during meiotic recombination. It is also involved in the creation of double stranded breaks in the DNA in the early stages of this process. Its active site contains a tyrosine which ligates and dissociates with DNA to promote break formation. One Spo11 protein is involved per strand of DNA, thus two Spo11 proteins are involved in each double stranded break event.
