Meiosis specific coiled-coil proteins in Shizosaccharomyces pombe (2007)

Ohtaka, Ayami, Saito, Takamune T, Okuzaki, Daisuke, Nojima, Hiroshi

Abstract Many meiosis-specific proteins in Schizosaccharomyces pombe contain coiled-coil motifs which play essential roles for meiotic progression. For example, the coiled-coil motifs present in...

Mcp7, a meiosis-specific coiled-coil protein of fission yeast, associates with Meu13 and is required for meiotic recombination (2004)

Saito, Takamune T., Tougan, Takahiro, Kasama, Takashi, Okuzaki, Daisuke, Nojima, Hiroshi

We previously showed that Meu13 of Schizosaccharomyces pombe functions in homologous pairing and recombination at meiosis I. Here we show that a meiosis-specific gene encodes a coiled-coil protein...

Abundant Poly(A)-Bearing RNAs That Lack Open Reading Frames in Schizosaccharomyces pombe (2002)

Watanabe, Takanori, Miyashita, Kazuyuki, Saito, Takamune T., Nabeshima, Kentaro, Nojima, Hiroshi

We report here that 6.9% (68/987) of randomly selected cDNA clones from an S. pombe cDNA library lack apparently long open reading frames which we denote prl. One of them, prl1, was examined further...

Comprehensive isolation of meiosis-specific genes identifies novel proteins and unusual non-coding transcripts in Schizosaccharomyces pombe (2001)

Watanabe, Takanori, Miyashita, Kazuyuki, Saito, Takamune T., Yoneki, Takahiro, Kakihara, Yoshito, Nabeshima, Kentaro, ...

In order to isolate meiosis-specific genes in Schizosaccharomyces pombe, we have constructed a subtracted cDNA library enriched in clones whose expression is enhanced during meiosis induced by...

Spo5/Mug12, a Putative Meiosis-Specific RNA-Binding Protein, Is Essential for Meiotic Progression and Forms Mei2 Dot-Like Nuclear Foci†

Kasama, Takashi, Shigehisa, Akira, Hirata, Aiko, Saito, Takamune T., Tougan, Takahiro, Okuzaki, Daisuke, ...

We report here a functional analysis of spo5+(mug12+) of Schizosaccharomyces pombe, which encodes a putative RNA-binding protein. The disruption of spo5+ caused abnormal sporulation, generating...

Mcp4, a Meiotic Coiled-Coil Protein, Plays a Role in F-Actin Positioning during Schizosaccharomyces pombe Meiosis▿

Ohtaka, Ayami, Okuzaki, Daisuke, Saito, Takamune T., Nojima, Hiroshi

Some meiosis-specific proteins of Schizosaccharomyces pombe harbor coiled-coil motifs and play essential roles in meiotic progression. Here we describe Mcp4, a novel meiosis-specific protein whose...

Mcp5, a meiotic cell cortex protein, is required for nuclear movement mediated by dynein and microtubules in fission yeast

Saito, Takamune T., Okuzaki, Daisuke, Nojima, Hiroshi

During meiotic prophase I of the fission yeast Schizosaccharomyces pombe, oscillatory nuclear movement occurs. This promotes homologous chromosome pairing and recombination and involves cortical...

Caenorhabditis elegans HIM-18/SLX-4 Interacts with SLX-1 and XPF-1 and Maintains Genomic Integrity in the Germline by Processing Recombination Intermediates

Saito, Takamune T., Youds, Jillian L., Boulton, Simon J., Colaiácovo, Monica P.

Homologous recombination (HR) is essential for the repair of blocked or collapsed replication forks and for the production of crossovers between homologs that promote accurate meiotic chromosome...
