we found a role for the meiotic bouquet in establishing the size dependence of centromere coupling, as abolishing bouquet (using the bouquet-defective spo11 ndj1 mutant) reduces it. Coupling in spo11 ndj1 rather follows telomere clustering preferences. We propose that a chromosome size preference for centromere coupling helps establish efficient homolog recognition.

Unlike Ndj1, Csm4 is not required for meiosis-specific telomere association.
Title: Csm4, in collaboration with Ndj1, mediates telomere-led chromosome dynamics and recombination during yeast meiosis.

Bouquet formation and rapid prophase movements depend on NDJ1, MPS3, and a new member of this pathway, CSM4, which encodes a meiosis-specific nuclear envelope protein required specifically for telomere mobility.
Title: Rapid telomere movement in meiotic prophase is promoted by NDJ1, MPS3, and CSM4 and is modulated by recombination.

Ndj1 promotes meiotic rcombination.
Title: Ndj1, a telomere-associated protein, promotes meiotic recombination in budding yeast.

Ndj1p facilitates deletion (telomere-length shortening) by promoting telomeric interactions during meiosis, resulting in an effective increase in the concentration of limiting factors for deletion.
