pfam19225: Spo16_N (This model is not part of the current CDD release)
Spo16 protein, N-terminal
This entry represents proteins related to yeast Spo16. Spo16 forms a complex with Zip2 and Zip4. Zip2 and Spo16, form a meiosis-specific XPF-ERCC1-like complex. The recombinant Zip2 XPF domain together with Spo16 preferentially binds branched DNA structures, such as D loops and HJs. The Spo16 protein contains a nuclease-like domain similar to that in ERCC1, represented in this entry, and a C-terminal HHH motif.
