Involved in DNA metabolic process; ascospore formation; and regulation of transcription involved in meiotic cell cycle. Located in nucleus. Part of Mre11 complex. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in breast carcinoma; endometrial cancer; stomach carcinoma; and urinary bladder cancer. Orthologous to human MRE11 (MRE11 homolog, double strand break repair nuclease). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Apr 2022]

Here we describe two separation-of-functions alleles, mre11-S499P and rad50-A78T, which we show to specifically affect Tel1 activation without impairing MRX functions in DSB repair. Both Mre11-S499P and Rad50-A78T reduce Tel1-MRX interaction leading to poor Tel1 association at DSBs and consequent loss of Tel1 activation
Title: The ATP-bound conformation of the Mre11-Rad50 complex is essential for Tel1/ATM activation.
Data show that ssDNA endodeoxyribonuclease SAE2 (Sae2) cooperates with the Mre11-Rad50-Xrs2 (MRX) complex to initiate resection of DNA double-strand breaks (DSBs) and to maintain the DSB ends in close proximity to allow their repair.
Title: Structurally distinct Mre11 domains mediate MRX functions in resection, end-tethering and DNA damage resistance.
A harmless head-on replication-transcription clash resolution requires the fine-tuning of origin firing and coordination among Sen1, Exo1, Mre11 and Mrc1-Ctf4 complexes.
