mei3 — Schizosaccharomyces pombe 972h-

Summary

SPBC119.04 (mei3) on chromosome 2 of Schizosaccharomyces pombe 972h- encodes a protein serine/threonine kinase inhibitor. The gene is associated with activation of meiosis, entry into the meiotic cell cycle, and meiotic S phase, as well as with sister chromatid segregation, homologous recombination, and recombinational repair. It is linked to negative regulation of conjugation with zygote, syngamy, prophase, sporulation, spore formation, and mating. Additional associations include pheromone response, cellular localization, DNA anabolism, and the mitotic cell cycle.
