Catalytic subunit of protein phosphatase PP4 complex; Pph3p and Psy2p form active complex, Psy4p may provide substrate specificity; regulates recovery from the DNA damage checkpoint, the gene conversion- and single-strand annealing-mediated pathways of meiotic double-strand break repair and efficient Non-Homologous End-Joining (NHEJ) pathway; involved in activation of Gln3p to alleviate nitrogen catabolite repression; Pph3p and Psy2p localize to foci on meiotic chromosomes
