High impact information on REC114

  • We have also found that the Mei4 and Rec114 proteins localize to foci on chromosomes and these foci partially colocalize with each other and with Mer2 [1].
  • Saccharomyces cerevisiae Mer2, Mei4 and Rec114 form a complex required for meiotic double-strand break formation [1].
  • Some of the observed phenotypes of the disruption mutant and the N-terminal sequence homology suggest that Rec7p is a functional homolog of Rec114p of Saccharomyces cerevisiae [2].
  • The low viability of spores produced by dmc1 mutants carrying high copy numbers of REC114 is rescued when reductional segregation is bypassed by mutation of spo13 [3].
  • The splicing of REC114 does not require MER1, a gene known to be involved in meiosis-specific RNA processing [4].
 

Biological context of REC114

  • This work demonstrates that REC114 does have an intron and is one of only three genes in yeast with introns located in the 3' end [4].
  • One of these genes, REC114, is described here, and the data confirm that REC114 is a meiosis-specific recombination gene with no detectable function in mitosis [5].
