Structured_descriptionConcise_descriptionrec-8 encodes a meiosis-specific cohesin complex subunit orthologous to Saccharomyces cerevisiae and Schizosaccharomyces pombe Rec8p; REC-8 is essential for pairing of homologoues and sister chromatids during meiosis and thus for proper chromosome disjunction; in the germline, REC-8 associates with chromatin of transition zone nuclei, and co-localizes with SMC-1 along the longitudinal axes of synapsed chromosomes at pachytene and in a cruciform pattern at diakinesis; REC-8 localization to chromatin is dependent upon TIM-1, a HEAT/Armadillo repeat-containing protein related to Drosophila TIMELESS, and additionally, REC-8 and SCC-3 are mutually required for chromatin localization; REC-8 cleavage and degradation during meiosis I is dependent on the AIR-2 aurora-like kinase and during meiosis II on AIR-2 and the PLK-1 polo-like kinase.Paper_evidenceWBPaper00004722

Remark[J. Loidl] rec-8 (W02A2.6) is the likely ortholog of S. cerevisiae rec8 meiosis-specific cohesion protein
Sequence connection from [Loidl J]
Map position created from combination of previous interpolated map position (based on known location of sequence) and allele information. Therefore this is not a genetic map position based on recombination frequencies or genetic experiments. This was done on advice of the CGC.CGC_data_submission
