Term Name: Mre11 complex
Synonyms: MRN complex, MRX complex, Rad50 complex, RAD50-MRE11-NBN complex, Rad50-Rad32-Nbs1 complex, RMX complex
Definition: Trimeric protein complex that possesses endonuclease activity; involved in meiotic recombination, DNA repair and checkpoint signaling. In Saccharomyces cerevisiae, the complex comprises Mre11p, Rad50p, and Xrs2p; complexes identified in other species generally contain proteins orthologous to the Saccharomyces cerevisiae proteins.
