The budding yeast polo-like kinase Cdc5 regulates the Ndt80 branch of the meiotic recombination checkpoint pathway
Meiosis is a specialized cell division that generates haploid gametes. Accurate distribution of genetic information to the meiotic progeny is ensured by the action of the meiotic recombination checkpoint. The function of the evolutionarily conserved polo-like kinase in this meiotic surveillance mechanism is described
