Function
[SKI8_YEAST] Involved in double-strand break (DSB) formation during meiotic recombination through stabilization of SPO11 association with meiotic chromosome and helping SPO11 to recruit other DSB proteins like REC102 and REC104 to meiotic chromosomes. Also component of the SKI complex involved in 3'-mRNA degradation pathway. Represses dsRNA virus propagation by specifically blocking translation of viral mRNAs, perhaps recognizing the absence of CAP or poly(A). Essential for controlling the propagation of M double-stranded RNA (dsRNA) and thus for preventing virus-induced cytopathology.[1] [2] [3] [4] [5] [6] [7] [8] [9] [10] [11] [12]

Publication Abstract from PubMed
Ski8p is a WD-repeat protein with an essential role for the Ski complex assembly in an exosome-dependent 3'-to-5' mRNA decay. In addition, Ski8p is involved in meiotic recombination by interacting with Spo11p protein. We have determined the crystal structure of Ski8p from Saccharomyces cerevisiae at 2.2 A resolution. The structure reveals that Ski8p folds into a seven-bladed beta propeller. Mapping sequence conservation and hydrophobicities of amino acids on the molecular surface of Ski8p reveals a prominent site on the top surface of the beta propeller, which is most likely involved in mediating interactions of Ski8p with Ski3p and Spo11p. Mutagenesis combined with yeast two-hybrid and GST pull-down assays identified the top surface of the beta propeller as being required for Ski8p binding to Ski3p and Spo11p. The functional implications for Ski8p function in both mRNA decay and meiotic recombination are discussed.
