  1. ncbi Yeast IME2 functions early in meiosis upstream of cell cycle-regulated SBF and MBF targets
    George S Brush
    Department of Oncology, Wayne State University School of Medicine, Detroit, Michigan, United States of America
    PLoS ONE 7:e31575. 2012
    ..While Ime2 is required for Sic1 destruction during meiosis, evidence now suggests that Ime2 does not directly catalyze Sic1 phosphorylation to target it for destabilization as Cln1,-2/Cdk1 do during the cell cycle...

    G S Brush

    Nucleic Acids Res 29:4808-17. 2001
    ..Our results suggest that Mec1-dependent RPA phosphorylation could be involved in regulating recombination rather than cell cycle or meiotic progression...
  5. ncbi Identification and characterization of a single-stranded DNA-binding protein from the archaeon Methanococcus jannaschii
    T J Kelly
    Department of Molecular Biology and Genetics, Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine, Baltimore, MD 21210, USA
    Proc Natl Acad Sci U S A 95:14634-9. 1998
    ..This ssDNA-binding domain was presumably present in the common ancestor to all three major branches of life...

    Program in Molecular Biology and Genetics, Karmanos Cancer Institute, Wayne State University, Detroit, Michigan 48201, USA
    J Biol Chem 279:6163-70. 2004
    ..Our studies have identified a novel meiosis-specific reaction that targets a key protein required for DNA replication, repair, and recombination. This pathway could be important in differentiating mitotic and meiotic DNA metabolism...

    Amy J Bartrand
    Barbara Ann Karmanos Cancer Institute and Department of Pathology, Wayne State University School of Medicine, Detroit, Michigan 48201, USA
    Genetics 172:27-39. 2006

    Biochim Biophys Acta 1773:450-6. 2007
    ..Examination of other substrates both in vitro and in vivo also revealed differing specificities. These results indicate that Ime2 does not simply replace G1 cyclin-CDK complexes in promoting Sic1 degradation during meiosis...
