Mei4 is involved in the termination of nuclear movements and that Mei4-mediated regulatory pathways link a DNA replication checkpoint to the termination of nuclear movements.
Title: Meiotic nuclear movements in fission yeast are regulated by the transcription factor Mei4 downstream of a Cds1-dependent replication checkpoint pathway.

Data show that ectopic expression of Mei4 in vegetative cells caused formation of nucleated membranous compartments, which shared common features with normal forespore membranes, thereby perturbing nuclear division.
Title: Ectopic overproduction of a sporulation-specific transcription factor induces assembly of prespore-like membranous compartments in vegetative cells of fission yeast.

Mei4p coordinates the onset of meiosis I by regulating cdc25+ in fission yeast.
Title: Mei4p coordinates the onset of meiosis I by regulating cdc25+ in fission yeast.

mei4+ is known to be required for the formation of DNA double-strand breaks.
Title: Rad3-Cds1 mediates coupling of initiation of meiotic recombination with DNA replication. Mei4-dependent transcription as a potential target of meiotic checkpoint.
