Abstract excerpt
Pds5p is a cohesin related protein. It is required for maintenance of sister chromatid cohesion in mitosis and meiosis. Here we report that pds5-1 causes cell death in yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae during early meiosis. The pds5-1 caused cell death possesses characteristics of apoptosis and necrosis, including externalization of phosphatidylserine at cytoplasmic membrane, accumulation of DNA breaks, chromatin...
