Abstract

Using a screen designed to identify yeast mutants specifically defective in recombination between homologous chromosomes during meiosis, we have obtained new alleles of the meiosis-specific genes, HOP1, RED1, and MEK1. In addition, the screen identified a novel gene designated MSH5 (MutS Homolog 5). Although Msh5p exhibits strong homology to the MutS family of proteins, it is not involved in DNA mismatch repair. Diploids lacking the MSH5 gene display decreased levels of spore viability, increased levels of meiosis I chromosome nondisjuction, and decreased levels of reciprocal exchange between, but not within, homologs. Gene conversion is not reduced. Msh5 mutants are phenotypically similar to mutants in the meiosis-specific gene MSH4 (Ross-Macdonald and Roeder 1994). Double mutant analysis using msh4 msh5 diploids demonstrates that the two genes are in the same epistasis group and therefore are likely to function in a similar process--namely, the facilitation of interhomolog crossovers during meiosis.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
