A screen for mutants of budding yeast defective in meiotic gene conversion identified a novel allele of the POL3 gene. POL3 encodes the catalytic subunit of DNA polymerase {delta}, an essential DNA polymerase involved in genomic DNA replication. The new allele, pol3-ct, specifies a protein missing the last four amino acids. pol3-ct shows little or no defect in DNA replication, but displays a reduction in the length of meiotic gene conversion tracts and a decrease in crossing over. We propose a model in which DNA synthesis determines the length of strand exchange intermediates and influences their resolution toward crossing over.
