Thus, those meioses did not exhibit simple MI nondisjunction, because 100% of diploids arising from MI nondisjunction would be heterozygous at the centromeres (Figure 5B).
We identified 0.9 Mb of repeated sequence (less than 1% of the euchromatic genome), 40% mapping to chromosome X, 40% to chromosome 2, 15% to chromosome 3 and 3% to chromosome 4. Although there are more repeats on chromosomes X and 2, they appear to be randomly distributed and are not clustered at the centromeres or telomeres.
[ 7 53 ] . In rec7 hyporecombination mutants of S. pombe the fidelity of segregation of homologs during MI exceeds the expected random level [ 10 ] . Similarly, MI segregation of GFP-tagged centromeres in rec12 deletion mutants occurs at non-random levels (L.
Possibly, the Rad26/Rad3 complex localizes to regions of heterochromatin (centromeres, telomeres and the mating type loci) in undamaged cells.
First, the Rad26-GFP dots were resistant to an extraction method that was developed to specifically-preserve the localization of chromatin-binding proteins [ 42 ] . Secondly, we discovered that the rad26Δ strain is sensitive to TBZ, a phenotype common to mutants that disrupt centromeric-heterochromatin [ 45 ] . Finally, fission yeast has a relatively small number of heterochromatic regions (3 centromeres, 6 telomeres, and 1 mating-type locus; [ 53 54 ] ) and the number of Rad26-GFP dots we observe is roughly consistent with localization to these regions.
