  • By analogy with the mechanism of action of known type II topoisomerases, we suggest that Spo11 catalyses the formation of double-strand breaks that initiate meiotic recombination in S. cerevisiae [29].
  • Hyperactivation of the meiotic recombination checkpoint caused by the failure to repair DSBs results in accumulation and persistence of phosphorylated Sae2, indicating a possible link between checkpoint activation and meiosis-induced Sae2 phosphorylation [30].
