Schizosaccharomyces pombe Rdh54 (TID1) acts with Rhp54 (RAD54) to repair meiotic double-strand breaks.

چکیده
We report the characterization of rdh54+, the second fission yeast Schizosaccharomyces pombe Rad54 homolog. rdh54+ shares sequence and functional homology to budding yeast RDH54/TID1. Rdh54p is present during meiosis with appropriate timing for a meiotic recombination factor. It interacts with Rhp51 and the meiotic Rhp51 homolog Dmc1 in yeast two-hybrid assays. Deletion of rdh54+ has no effect on DNA damage repair during the haploid vegetative cell cycle. In meiosis, however, rdh54Delta shows decreased spore viability and homologous recombination with a concomitant increase in sister chromatid exchange. The rdh54Delta single mutant repairs meiotic breaks with similar timing to wild type, suggesting redundancy of meiotic recombination factors. Consistent with this, the rdh54Delta rhp54Delta double mutant fails to repair meiotic double strand breaks. Live cell analysis shows that rdh54Delta rhp54Delta asci do not arrest, but undergo both meiotic divisions with near normal timing, suggesting that failure to repair double strand breaks in S. pombe meiosis does not result in checkpoint arrest.

Crossover interference in Saccharomyces cerevisiae requires a TID1/RDH54- and DMC1-dependent pathway.
Two RecA-like recombinases, Rad51 and Dmc1, function together during double-strand break (DSB)-mediated meiotic recombination to promote homologous strand invasion in the budding yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae. Two partially redundant proteins, Rad54 and Tid1/Rdh54, act as recombinase accessory factors. Here, tetrad analysis shows that mutants lacking Tid1 form four-viable-spore tetrads with le...

Two RecA homologs, Rad51 and Dmc1, assemble as cytologically visible complexes (foci) at the same sites on meiotic chromosomes. Time course analysis confirms that co-foci appear and disappear as the single predominant form. A large fraction of co-foci are eliminated in a red1 mutant, which is expected as a characteristic of the interhomolog-specific recombination pathway. Previous studies sugge...

The RAD54 gene of Saccharomyces cerevisiae encodes a putative helicase, which is involved in the recombinational repair of DNA damage. The RAD54 homologue of the fission yeast Schizosaccharomyces pombe, rhp54+, was isolated by using the RAD54 gene as a heterologous probe. The gene is predicted to encode a protein of 852 amino acids. The overall homology between the mutual proteins of the two sp...

The Saccharomyces cerevisiae Tid1 protein is important for the recombinational repair of double-stranded DNA breaks during meiosis. Tid1 is a member of Swi2/Snf2 family of chromatin remodeling proteins and shares homology with Rad54. Members of this family hydrolyze ATP and promote 1) chromatin remodeling, 2) DNA topology alterations, and 3) displacement of proteins from DNA. All of these activ...

FEATURES One of the fundamental differences between mitotic and meiotic cells is the source of homology used to repair double strand breaks (DSBs). Recombination in vegetative cells occurs preferentially between sister chromatids to repair unexpected DNA damage. 1 In contrast, repair of programmed DSBs in meiotic cells occurs primarily between non-sister chro-matids of homologous chromosomes. 2...
