A tel1Delta mutant has globally increased amounts of Spo11-oligonucleotide complexes and altered Spo11-oligonucleotide lengths, consistent with conserved roles for Tel1 in control of DSB number and processing..We further find that effects of Tel1 are distinct but partially overlapping with previously described contributions of the recombination regulator Cst9 (also known as Zip3).

Data show that increases in meiotic double-strand breaks and crossover frequencies can be programmed to arbitrary genomic sites by fusion of the Spo11 protein to various DNA-recognition domains.
Title: Programming sites of meiotic crossovers using Spo11 fusion proteins.
we found a role for the meiotic bouquet in establishing the size dependence of centromere coupling, as abolishing bouquet (using the bouquet-defective spo11 ndj1 mutant) reduces it. Coupling in spo11 ndj1 rather follows telomere clustering preferences. We propose that a chromosome size preference for centromere coupling helps establish efficient homolog recognition.

Preferred Names: DNA topoisomerase (ATP-hydrolyzing)

NP_011841.1

EC 5.6.2.2

Meiosis-specific protein required for meiotic recombination; makes DNA double-strand breaks (DSB) during meiotic recombination, homolog pairing, and synaptonemal complex formation; role in meiotic DSB formation involves a topo-II-like transesterase mechanism; forms monotetrameric complex; covalently linked to DSBs through a 5'-phosphodiester bond between a catalytic tyrosine (Y135) and the DSB 5'- end; sequence similarity to a topo VI subunit from archaea, fission yeast rec12 and human SPO11
