Meiotic crossover formation requires the activity of multiple pro-crossover factors, including the MutSγ complex and the cyclin-related protein COSA-1, that become concentrated together at the sites of crossover recombination intermediates. Here we show that a transgene insertion expressing GFP::COSA-1 can suppress the crossover deficit caused by a partial reduction in MutSγ function. Our data, combined with previous findings, support a model in which COSA-1 promotes crossover formation, at least in part, through positive regulation of MutSγ function.
