Canonical and noncanonical roles of Hop1 are crucial for meiotic prophase in the fungus Sordaria macrospora.

We show here that in the fungus Sordaria macrospora, the meiosis-specific HORMA-domain protein Hop1 is not essential for the basic early events of chromosome axis development, recombination initiation, or recombination-mediated homolog coalignment/pairing. In striking contrast, Hop1 plays a critical...
