TAIR Curator Summary | Encodes MSH5, a homologue of the MutS-homolog family of genes required for normal levels of recombination in budding yeast, mouse and Caenorhabditis elegans. Involved in meiotic recombination. Required for the formation of Class I interference-sensitive crossovers. Transcripts of AtMSH5 are specific to reproductive tissues and expression of the protein is abundant during prophase I of meiosis. Involved in meiotic recombination. Required for the formation of Class I interference-sensitive crossovers. |
