RMI2 Antibody / RecQ-mediated genome instability protein 2

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 (RPA1), and BLAP250. RMI2 also associated with RMI1 and TOP3A in a second complex. RMI1 and RMI2 interacted directly, 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.
