Conserved casein kinase; regulates diverse events including: vesicular traffic, DNA repair, the CVT pathway, monopolar attachment of sister kinetochores at meiosis I, and ribosomal subunit biogenesis; monopolin subunit; binds the RNAPII CTD; phosphorylates COPII coat subunits; interacts with Sit4p phosphatase; antagonizes calcineurin signaling, reducing nuclear accumulation of Crz1p; phosphorylates Dsn1p, the kinetochore receptor for monopolin; homolog of mammalian CK1delta.

Monopolin complex subunit LRS4; Nucleolar protein that forms a complex with Csm1p; and then Mam1p at kinetochores during meiosis I to mediate accurate homolog segregation; required for condensin recruitment to the replication fork barrier site and rDNA repeat segregation.

Kinetochore-associated protein DSN1; Essential component of the MIND kinetochore complex; joins kinetochore subunits contacting DNA to those contacting microtubules; Dsn1p phosphorylation promotes interaction between outer and inner kinetochore proteins; kinetochore receptor for monopolin, via interaction with subunit Csm1p; essential for meiotic but not mitotic chromosome segregation; MIND complex consists of Mtw1p, Nnf1p, Nsl1p and Dsn1p; modified by sumoylation; phosphorylated by monopolin subunit Hrr25p.

Meiosis-specific protein SPO13; Meiotic regulator; involved in maintaining sister chromatid cohesion during meiosis I as well as promoting proper attachment of kinetochores to the spindle during meiosis I and meiosis II; anaphase-promoting complex (APC) substrate that is degraded during anaphase I; expressed only in meiotic cells.

Kinetochore-associated protein MTW1; Essential component of the MIND kinetochore complex; joins kinetochore subunits contacting DNA to those contacting microtubules; critical to kinetochore assembly; complex consists of Mtw1p Including Nnf1p-Nsl1p-Dsn1p (MIND).

Meiosis-specific protein required for chromosome synapsis; displays Red1p dependent localization to the unsynapsed axial-lateral elements of the synaptonemal complex; required for chiasma formation; in vitro, displays the ability to promote intra- and intermolecular synapsis between double-stranded DNA molecules and to fold DNA into rigid protein-DNA filaments.

Nucleoporin NUP170; Subunit of inner ring of nuclear pore complex (NPC); contributes to NPC assembly and nucleocytoplasmic transport; interacts with genomic regions that contain ribosomal protein and subtelomeric genes, where it functions in nucleosome positioning and as a repressor of transcription; both Nup170p and NUP157p are similar to human Nup155p; NUP170 has a paralog, NUP157, that arose from the whole genome duplication.

Cell cycle serine/threonine-protein kinase CDC5/MSD2; Polo-like kinase; controls targeting and activation of Rho1p at cell division site via Rho1p guanine nucleotide exchange factors; regulates Spc72p; also functions in adaptation to DNA damage during meiosis; regulates the shape of the nucleus and expansion of the nuclear envelope during mitosis; similar to Xenopus Plx1 and S. pombe Plo1p; human homologs PLK1, PLK3 can each complement yeast cdc5 thermosensitive mutants; Belongs to the protein kinase superfamily. Ser/Thr protein kinase family. CDC5/Polo subfamily.

Meiotic recombination protein REC8; Meiosis-specific component of the sister chromatid cohesion complex; alpha-kleisin family member that maintains cohesion between sister chromatids during meiosis I; maintains cohesion between centromeres of sister chromatids until meiosis II; independent of its role in sister chromatid cohesion, Rec8p promotes allelic collisions and prevents nonspecific chromosome interactions; homolog of S. pombe Rec8p.
