In fission yeast Schizosaccharomyces pombe, a diploid mother cell differentiates into an ascus containing four haploid ascospores following meiotic nuclear divisions, through a process called sporulation. Several meiosis-specific proteins of fission yeast have been identified to play essential roles in meiotic progression and sporulation. We report here an unexpected function of mitotic spindle checkpoint protein Dma1 in proper spore formation. Consistent with its function in sporulation, expres ...[more]
