Abstract
Abstract
We have explored the meiotic roles of cohesin modulators Pds5 and Rad61/Wapl, in relation to one another, and to meiotic kleisin Rec8, for homolog pairing, all physically definable steps of recombination, prophase axis length and S-phase progression, in budding yeast. We show that Pds5 promotes early steps of recombination and thus homolog pairing, and also modulates axis length, with both effects independent of a sister chromatid. [Pds5+Rec8] promotes double-strand break formation, maintains homolog bias for crossover formation and promotes S-phase progression. Oppositely, the unique role of Rad61/Wapl is to promote non-crossover recombination by releasing [Pds5+Rec8]. For this effect, Rad61/Wapl probably acts to maintain homolog bias by preventing channeling into sister interactions. Mysteriously, each analyzed molecule has one role that involves neither of the other two. Overall, the presented findings suggest that Pds5’s role in maintenance of sister chromatid cohesion during the mitotic prophase-analogous stage of G2/M is repurposed during meiosis prophase to promote interactions between homologs.
