Abstract excerpt
The Rad54 protein is an important component of the recombinational DNA repair pathway in vegetative Saccharomyces cerevisiae cells. Unlike those in other members of the RAD52 group, the meiotic defect in rad54 is rather mild, reducing spore viability only to 26%-65%. A consistently greater requirement for Rad54p during meiosis was observed in hybrid strains, suggesting that Rad54p has a certain role in...
