Structured_descriptionConcise_descriptioncom-1 encodes an ortholog of budding yeast Sae2p, Arabidopsis AtCOM1, and human RBBP8 (CTIP; OMIM:604124) and C20orf151; like its yeast ortholog, COM-1 is probably required for completing meiotic recombination; meiotic chromosomes in com-1 mutants pair normally, but form irregular chromatin aggregates instead of diakinesis bivalents; while meiotic DNA double-strand breaks (DSBs) are formed, they appear to persist or undergo improper repair, with numerous chromosomal fragments being revealed by REC-8 depletion; conversely, suppression of DSBs by a spo-11 mutation also suppresses the diakinetic com-1 phenotype, and suppression by mre-11 increases com-1 mutant fertility; despite the presence of DSBs, the recombination protein RAD-51, which is known to associate with single-stranded (ss) DNA flanking DSBs, does not localize to meiotic chromosomes in com-1 mutants; exposure of com-1 mutants to gamma-radiation, however, induces RAD-51 foci, which suggests that the failure of RAD-51 to load is specific to meiotic (SPO-11-generated) DSBs; these data suggest that COM-1 helps generate ssDNA tails upon which RAD-51 can bind, after which RAD-51 migrates to homologous DNA tracts and triggers meiotic recombination; com-1 mutants grow and live normally (possibly because of maternally contributed COM-1) but are sterile; the C-terminal-most ~100 residues of COM-1 are strongly conserved, while COM-1's N-terminal ~400 residues have low sequence complexity.Paper_evidenceWBPaper00031197

Automated_descriptionPredicted to enable damaged DNA binding activity. Predicted to be involved in DNA double-strand break processing involved in repair via single-strand annealing. Predicted to be located in nucleus. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in Seckel syndrome 2. Is an ortholog of human RBBP8 (RB binding protein 8, endonuclease).Paper_evidenceWBPaper00065943

Reference (11)
RemarkMap position created from combination of previous interpolated map position (based on known location of sequence) and allele information. Therefore this is not a genetic map position based on recombination frequencies or genetic experiments. This was done on advice of the CGC.CGC_data_submission
