GMC2
Saccharomyces cerevisiae Protein involved in meiotic crossing over; component of the Synaptonemal Complex (SC) along with Ecm11p; required for the efficient loading of the SC transverse filament protein, Zip1p; promotes SUMOylation of Ecm11p; mutants are delayed in meiotic nuclear division and are defective in synaptonemal complex assembly; transcription is regulated by Ume6p and induced in response to alpha factor; also detected in peroxisomes
ECM11
Saccharomyces cerevisiae Meiosis-specific protein; component of the Synaptonemal Complex (SC) along with Gmc2p; required for efficient crossover formation and for the efficient loading of the SC transverse filament protein, Zip1p; is SUMOlytaed in a Gmc2p manner, and SUMOylation is required for its function in meiosis; GFP fusion protein is present in discrete clusters in the nucleus throughout mitosis; may be involved in maintaining chromatin structure
