Flybase gene name is sc-PA

l(1)sc-PA

Drosophila melanogaster

Flybase gene name is l(1)sc-PA

GMC2

Saccharomyces cerevisiae

Protein involved in meiotic crossing over; component of the Synaptonemal Complex (SC) along with Ecm11p; required for the efficient loading of the SC transverse filament protein, Zip1p; promotes SUMOylation of Ecm11p; mutants are delayed in meiotic nuclear division and are defective in synaptonemal complex assembly; transcription is regulated by Ume6p and induced in response to alpha factor; also detected in peroxisomes

ECM11

Saccharomyces cerevisiae

Meiosis-specific protein; component of the Synaptonemal Complex (SC) along with Gmc2p; required for efficient crossover formation and for the efficient loading of the SC transverse filament protein, Zip1p; is SUMOlytaed in a Gmc2p manner, and SUMOylation is required for its function in meiosis; GFP fusion protein is present in discrete clusters in the nucleus throughout mitosis; may be involved in maintaining chromatin structure

RED1

Saccharomyces cerevisiae

Protein component of the synaptonemal complex axial elements; involved in chromosome segregation during the first meiotic division; critical for coupling checkpoint signaling to SC formation; promotes interhomolog recombination by phosphorylating Hop1p; also interacts with Mec3p and Ddc1p

CDC5

Saccharomyces cerevisiae

Polo-like kinase required for mitotic exit; regulates mitotic spindle assembly, nuclear shape, and protein localization to the nucleolus and SPBs; controls targeting and activation of Rho1p at the division site via Rho1p-GEFs; role in adaptation to DNA damage promotes genome instability during replicative senescence; regulates meiotic commitment, spindle assembly, chiasmata formation, recombination intermediate resolution and SC disassembly; human homologs PLK1 and PLK3 complement cdc5 mutants
