(MRE11 Meiotic Recombination 11 Homolog A (S. Cerevisiae) (MRE11A))
Mre11 is a component of the MRN complex (Mre11/Rad50/Nbs1), which plays a central role in double-strand break (DSB) repair, DNA recombination, maintenance of telomere integrity and meiosis. The complex possesses singlestrand endonuclease activity and doublestrand-specific 3'-5' exonuclease activity, which are provided by MRE11A. RAD50 may be required to bind DNA ends and hold them in close proximity. This could facilitate searches for short or long regions of sequence homology in the recombining DNA templates, and may also stimulate the activity of DNA ligases and/or restrict the nuclease activity of MRE11A to prevent nucleolytic degradation past a given point. The complex may also be required for DNA damage signaling via activation of the ATM kinase. In telomeres the MRN complex may modulate t-loop formation. Mre11 is a nuclear protein that is widely expressed and localizes to discrete nuclear foci after treatment with genotoxic agents (including irradiation). Alternative splice isoforms are recorded for this protein.Synonyms: Double-strand break repair protein MRE11A, HNGS1, MRE11 homolog 1, MRE11 meiotic recombination 11 homolog A, MRE11A
