Regulation of Msh4-Msh5 association with meiotic chromosomes in budding yeast.
Title: Regulation of Msh4-Msh5 association with meiotic chromosomes in budding yeast.
Msh4 is identified as an intrinsically unstable protein that is directly targeted for proteasomal degradation by an N-terminal degron, thereby rendering MutSgamma inactive for its crossover functions. Activation occurs by neutralizing the Msh4 degron via phosphorylation. Thus, a key meiotic pro-crossover factor is activated by attenuating its proteolysis.
Title: Regulated Proteolysis of MutSγ Controls Meiotic Crossing Over.
We closely examined two candidate genes, the chromatin remodeling gene IOC4 and the meiosis-related gene MSH4, which when knocked-out resulted in gene expression alterations affecting genes involved in cell division and chromosome organization, as well as DNA repair and recombination, respectively.
Title: Systematic Identification of Determinants for Single-Strand Annealing-Mediated Deletion Formation in Saccharomyces cerevisiae.
The excess crossovers observed in synaptonemal complex (SC), central element-deficient mutants are Msh4, Zip1, and Zip4 dependent, clearly indicating the existence of two classes of SC proteins-a class with procrossover function(s) that are also necessary for SC assembly and a class that is not required for crossover formation but essential for SC assembly
Title: Synaptonemal Complex Proteins of Budding Yeast Define Reciprocal Roles in MutSγ-Mediated Crossover Formation.
a structural rationale for the meiotic defects observed in the msh4/5 point mutations. The mutations are likely to affect stability of the Msh4/5 proteins and/or interactions with DNA.
Title: Structural insights into Saccharomyces cerevisiae Msh4-Msh5 complex function using homology modeling.
Msh4 and msh5 mutants displayed reduced crossing over in meiosis but maintained wild-type spore viability.
Title: Genetic analysis of baker's yeast Msh4-Msh5 reveals a threshold crossover level for meiotic viability.
