Protein involved in the control of meiotic nuclear division; involved in the coordination of meiosis with spore formation; subunit of the leading edge protein (LEP) complex (Ssp1-Ady3-Don1-Irc10) that forms a ring-like structure at the leading edge of the prospore membrane during meiosis II; required for assembly of the leading edge coat and both prospore membrane shaping and organization; transcription is induced midway through meiosis
