Background

RMI2 is a component of the BLM (RECQL3) complex, which plays a role in homologous recombination-dependent DNA repair and is essential for genome stability. This gene is mapped to 16p13.13. RMI1 and RMI2 were present in approximately stoichiometric amounts with other BLM complex components, including topoisomerase-3-alpha (TOP3A), RPA (see RPA1), and BLAP250. RMI2 also associated with RMI1 and TOP3A in a second complex. RMI1 and RMI2 interacted ly, and both were essential for stability of the BLM complex. Depletion of either RMI1 or RMI2 depleted the other protein by 80 to 90%. Chicken DT40 cells depleted of Rmi2 displayed elevated sister chromatid exchange, but other functions of the BLM complex appeared intact. Mutation analysis revealed that interaction between human RMI2 and BLM was essential for suppression of sister chromatid exchange.

Function

Essential component of the RMI complex, a complex that plays an important role in the processing of homologous recombination intermediates. It is required to regulate sister chromatid segregation and to limit DNA crossover. Essential for the stability, localization, and function of BLM, TOP3A, and complexes containing BLM. In the RMI complex, it is required to target BLM to chromatin and stress-induced nuclear foci and mitotic phosphorylation of BLM.

Components

Each vial contains 4mg Trehalose, 0.9mg NaCl, 0.2mg Na₂HPO₄, 0.05mg NaN₃.
