background:
The product of the GAJ gene associates with HOP2 to form a stable heterodimeric complex that binds DNA and stimulates the recombinase activity of RAD51 and DMC1. Both the MND1 and HOP2 genes are indispensable for meiotic recombination.
Function:
Required for proper homologous chromosome pairing and efficient cross-over and intragenic recombination during meiosis (By similarity). Stimulates both DMC1- and RAD51-mediated homologous strand assimilation, which is required for the resolution of meiotic double-strand breaks.
Subunit:
Heterodimer with PSMC3IP/HOP2. MND1-PSMC3IP interacts with DMC1 and RAD51 and binds preferentially to dsDNA.
Subcellular Location:
Nucleus (Probable)
Similarity:
Belongs to the MND1 family.
Database links:
UniProtKB/Swiss-Prot: Q9BWT6.1
