Abstract excerpt
Mutants defective in meiotic recombination and synaptonemal complex formation undergo checkpoint-mediated arrest in mid-meiotic prophase. In S. cerevisiae, this checkpoint requires Swe1, which phosphorylates and inactivates the cyclin-dependent kinase Cdc28. A swe1 deletion allows mutants that normally arrest in meiotic prophase to sporulate at wild-type levels, though sporulation is delayed. This delay is...
