Meiotic cells generate physiological programmed DNA double-strand breaks (DSBs) to initiate meiotic recombination. Interhomolog repair of the programmed DSBs by meiotic recombination is vital to ensure accurate chromosome segregation at meiosis I to produce normal gametes. In budding yeast, the DNA damage checkpoint kinase Rad53 is activated by DSBs which accidentally occur as DNA lesions in mitosis and meiosis; however, meiotic programmed DSBs which occur at ∼160 loci per genome fail to activate the kinase. Thus, Rad53 activation appears to be silenced in response to meiotic programmed DSBs. In this study, to address the biological significance of Rad53’s insensitivity to meiotic DSBs, we examined the effects of Rad53 overexpression on meiotic processes. The overexpression led to partial activation of Rad53, uncovering that the negative impacts of Rad53 kinase activation on meiotic progression, and formation and interhomolog repair of meiotic programmed DSBs.
