We report the characterization of rdh54+, the second fission yeast
Schizosaccharomyces pombe Rad54 homolog.
rdh54+ shares sequence and functional
homology to budding yeast RDH54/TID1. Rdh54p is present
during meiosis with appropriate timing for a meiotic recombination
factor. It interacts with Rhp51 and the meiotic Rhp51 homolog Dmc1 in
yeast two-hybrid assays. Deletion of
rdh54+ has no effect on DNA damage
repair during the haploid vegetative cell cycle. In meiosis, however,
rdh54
shows decreased spore viability and homologous
recombination with a concomitant increase in sister chromatid exchange.
The rdh54
single mutant repairs meiotic breaks with
similar timing to wild-type, suggesting redundancy of meiotic
recombination factors. Consistent with this, the rdh54
rhp54
double mutant fails to repair meiotic DSBs. Live cell
analysis shows that rdh54
rhp54
asci do not
arrest, but undergo both meiotic divisions with near normal timing,
suggesting that failure to repair DSBs in S. pombe
meiosis does not result in checkpoint arrest.
