Abstract excerpt
Several meiosis-specific proteins of Schizosaccharomyces pombe play essential roles in meiotic progression. We report here that a novel meiosis-specific protein kinase, Mug27 (also known as Ppk35), is required for proper spore formation. This kinase is expressed by the mug27(+) gene, which is abruptly transcribed after horsetail movement. This transcription is maintained until the second meiotic division. Green...
