Research Abstract |
In this study, Iasked why a DNA damage checkpoint kinase Rad53 fails to respond to meiotic programmed DNA double-strand breaks(DSBs).This was a mystery given that a single mitotic DSB can activate Rad53 and that about 200 programmed DSBs are formed in meiosis. I found that meiotic cells may suppress the mitotic types of recombination repair modulated by Rad53 to promote meiotic recombination. The data shed light on how cells alter mitotic systems to execute meiosis to produce normal gametes.
