  • we propose that RPA and this new single-strand DNA binding protein MEIOB, are essential to ensure the proper stabilization of recombinases which is required for successful homology search and meiotic recombination. (PMID:24068956)
  • MEIOB interacts with RPA and SPATA22. (PMID:24240703)
  • MEIOB is the major, and most likely also the exclusive, contributor of the testicular pathology found in the seven non-obstructive azoospermia patients across two studies. (PMID:30838384)
  • This truncating MEIOB variant is expected to provoke meiotic defects and a depleted follicular stock, as in Meiob(-/-) mice. This is the first molecular defect reported in a meiosis-specific single-stranded DNA-binding protein (SSB) responsible for POI. (PMID:31000419)
  • The ssDNA-binding protein MEIOB acts as a dosage-sensitive regulator of meiotic recombination. (PMID:33166385)
  • The cancer-testis gene, MEIOB, sensitizes triple-negative breast cancer to PARP1 inhibitors by inducing homologous recombination deficiency. (PMID:33628586)
  • The meiosis-specific MEIOB-SPATA22 complex cooperates with RPA to form a compacted mixed MEIOB/SPATA22/RPA/ssDNA complex. (PMID:33812231)
  • Whole-exome sequencing of consanguineous families with infertile men and women identifies homologous mutations in SPATA22 and MEIOB. (PMID:34392356)
  • Nuclear localization of human MEIOB requires its NLS in the OB domain and interaction with SPATA22. (PMID:36331299)

UniProt curated annotations — full annotation on UniProt →

Function. Single-stranded DNA-binding protein required for homologous recombination in meiosis I. Required for double strand breaks (DSBs) repair and crossover formation and promotion of faithful and complete synapsis. Not required for the initial loading of recombinases but required to maintain a proper number of RAD51 and DMC1 foci after the zygotene stage. May act by ensuring the stabilization of recombinases, which is required for successful homology search and meiotic recombination. Displays Single-stranded DNA 3’-5’ exonuclease activity in vitro.

Subunit / interactions. Component of a multiprotein complex with RPA2 and SPATA22. Interacts with SPATA22. Interacts with the complex BRME1:HSF2BP:BRCA2.

Subcellular location. Cytoplasm. Nucleus. Chromosome.

Tissue specificity. In fetal gonads, specifically expressed in the ovary starting at the 14th weeks post fertilization. In the adult, restricted to testis.

Disease relevance. Spermatogenic failure 22 (SPGF22) [MIM:617706] An infertility disorder caused by spermatogenesis defects that result in non-obstructive azoospermia. The disease is caused by variants affecting the gene represented in this entry. Premature ovarian failure 23 (POF23) [MIM:620686] A form of premature ovarian failure, an ovarian disorder defined as the cessation of ovarian function under the age of 40 years. It is characterized by oligomenorrhea or amenorrhea, in the presence of elevated levels of serum gonadotropins and low estradiol. POF23 inheritance is autosomal recessive. The disease is caused by variants affecting the gene represented in this entry.

Similarity. Belongs to the MEIOB family.
