Recombinational repair of meiotic DNA double-strand breaks (DSBs) uses the homologous chromosome as a template, although the sister chromatid offers itself as a spatially more convenient substrate. In many organisms, this choice of the homolog rather than the sister is reinforced by the recombination protein Dmc1. We found that, in Tetrahymena, in the absence of two novel proteins, Mcmd1 and Pamd1, Dmc1 is misregulated. Hence, to find out potential interactions, we did LC-MS/MS analysis for Mcmd1 and Pamd1 immunoprecipitation samples.
