Characterization of AtMLH3, the Arabidopsis homologue of the prokaryotic MutL mismatch repair gene, reveals that it is expressed in reproductive tissue where it is required for normal levels of meiotic crossovers (COs). Immunocytological studies in an Atmlh3 mutant indicate that chromosome pairing and synapsis proceed with normal distribution of the early recombination pathway proteins. Localization of the MutS homologue AtMSH4 occurs, suggesting that double Holliday junctions (dHjs) are formed, ...[more]
