Abstract excerpt
Saccharomyces cerevisiae mutants that fail to complete meiotic recombination are blocked by the RAD17/RAD24/MEC1 checkpoint signaling pathway in pachytene when early sporulation genes are expressed. Middle genes are not activated in checkpoint-arrested cells because the Ndt80 transcription factor is inhibited. We find that the pachytene checkpoint requires Sum1, a transcriptional repressor that recognizes a...
