Meiotic cohesin Rec8 imposes fitness costs on fission yeast gametesfavoring the evolution of parental bias in gene expression

Celso Martins, H. Anne F. Booth, Clàudia Salat-Canela, Zena Hadjivasiliou, Aleksandar Vještica

The paper shows that meiotic cohesin Rec8 in fission yeast gametes creates a fitness trade-off, leading to parental bias in gene expression.

Fertilization triggers cytosolic functions and P-body recruitment of the RNA-binding protein Mei2 to drive fission yeast zygotic development

Ayokunle Araoyinbo, Clàudia Salat-Canela, Aleksandar Vještica

This study shows Mei2, an RNA-binding protein in fission yeast, functions in the cytosol to arrest mitotic growth and initiate zygotic development by inhibiting translation of tethered mRNAs through P-body recruitment.
