CenH3 evolution reflects meiotic symmetry as predicted by the centromere drive model
The centromere drive model explaining rapid evolution of eukaryotic centromeres predicts higher frequency of positive selection acting on centromeric histone H3 (CenH3) in clades with asymmetric meiosis compared to the clades with only symmetric meiosis. However, despite the impression one might get from the literature, this key prediction of the centromere drive model has not only never been c...
متن کاملCentromere Strength Provides the Cell Biological Basis for Meiotic Drive and Karyotype Evolution in Mice
Mammalian karyotypes (number and structure of chromosomes) can vary dramatically over short evolutionary time frames. There are examples of massive karyotype conversion, from mostly telocentric (centromere terminal) to mostly metacentric (centromere internal), in 10(2)-10(5) years. These changes typically reflect rapid fixation of Robertsonian (Rb) fusions, a common chromosomal rearrangement th...
متن کاملPutting the cenH3 in the Centromere: Arabidopsis KINETOCHORE NULL2 Acts Upstream of cenH3 Deposition
Imagine yourself as a chromatin-crawling nano-robot—Your mission: to explore the Arabidopsis thaliana centromere. If you ventured from the euchromatin, through the heterochromatin, into the centromere, you would find yourself in a strange place. Even the histones are different, with the familiar H3 replaced by the centromerespecific histone cenH3 (reviewed in De Rop et al., 2012). Mission contr...
متن کاملMeiotic drive and evolution of female choice.
As a special version of the good-genes hypothesis, it was recently proposed that females could benefit from choosing drive-resistant males in a meiotic drive system. Here, we examine with a three-locus, six-allele population genetic model whether female choice for drive resistance can evolve. An allele leading to female preference for drive-resistant males was introduced at low frequency into a...
