Abstract excerpt
Ecm11 is classified as a protein involved in yeast cell wall biogenesis and organization, but in this paper, we provide evidence that it is involved in meiosis as well. Mutants with deleted ECM11 exhibit complex defects in meiosis: replication, recombination and chromosome segregation are affected. The ecm11Delta diploid strains sporulate more slowly and less efficiently than parental strains with wild type...
