The Saccharomyces cerevisiae centromere protein Slk19p is required for two successive divisions during meiosis.
Meiotic cell division includes two separate and distinct types of chromosome segregation. In the first segregational event the sister chromatids remain attached at the centromere; in the second the chromatids are separated. The factors that control the order of chromosome segregation during meiosis have not yet been identified but are thought to be confined to the centromere region. We showed t...
متن کاملCentromere-proximal crossovers are associated with precocious separation of sister chromatids during meiosis in Saccharomyces cerevisiae.
In most organisms, meiotic chromosome segregation is dependent on crossovers (COs), which enable pairs of homologous chromosomes to segregate to opposite poles at meiosis I. In mammals, the majority of meiotic chromosome segregation errors result from a lack of COs between homologs. Observations in Homo sapiens and Drosophila melanogaster have revealed a second class of exceptional events in wh...
متن کاملScm3, an essential Saccharomyces cerevisiae centromere protein required for G2/M progression and Cse4 localization.
A universal mark of centromeric chromatin is its packaging by a variant of histone H3 known as centromeric H3 (CenH3). The mechanism by which CenH3s are incorporated specifically into centromere DNA or the specialized function they serve there is not known. In a genetic approach to identify factors involved in CenH3 deposition, we screened for dosage suppressors of a temperature-sensitive cse4 ...
متن کاملHistone H2A is required for normal centromere function in Saccharomyces cerevisiae.
Histones are structural and functional components of the eukaryotic chromosome, and their function is essential for normal cell cycle progression. In this work, we describe the characterization of two Saccharomyces cerevisiae cold-sensitive histone H2A mutants. Both mutants contain single amino acid replacements of residues predicted to be on the surface of the nucleosome and in close contact w...
متن کاملThe Saccharomyces cerevisiae MER3 gene, encoding a novel helicase-like protein, is required for crossover control in meiosis.
The MER3 gene is identified as a novel meiosis-specific gene, whose transcript is spliced in an MRE2/MER1-dependent manner. The predicted Mer3 protein contains the seven motifs characteristic of the DExH-box type of helicases as well as a putative zinc finger. Double strand breaks (DSBs), the initial changes of DNA in meiotic recombination, do not disappear completely and are hyperresected late...
