Telomere Disruption Results in Non-Random Formation of De Novo Dicentric Chromosomes Involving Acrocentric Human Chromosomes
Genome rearrangement often produces chromosomes with two centromeres (dicentrics) that are inherently unstable because of bridge formation and breakage during cell division. However, mammalian dicentrics, and particularly those in humans, can be quite stable, usually because one centromere is functionally silenced. Molecular mechanisms of centromere inactivation are poorly understood since ther...
متن کاملMeiotic and mitotic behavior of dicentric chromosomes in Saccharomyces cerevisiae.
Meiotic recombination between a circular and a linear chromosome in Saccharomyces cerevisiae has been investigated. The circle was a haploid-viable derivative of chromosome III constructed by joining regions near the two chromosome ends via a recombinant DNA construction: (HMR/MAT-URA3-pBR322-MAT/HML) and was also deleted for MAL2 (which therefore uniquely marks a linear chromosome III). Recomb...
متن کاملSir protein–independent repair of dicentric chromosomes in Saccharomyces cerevisiae
Sir2 protein has been reported to be recruited to dicentric chromosomes under tension, and such chromosomes are reported to be especially vulnerable to breakage in sir2Δ mutants. We found that the loss of viability in such mutants was an indirect effect of the repression of nonhomologous end joining in Sir(-) mutants and that the apparent recruitment of Sir2 protein to chromosomes under tension...
متن کاملHomodicentric chromosomes: a distinctive type of dicentric chromosome.
This report describes two patients with a distinctive type of dicentric autosomal chromosome formed by breakage and union between homologous chromosomes. These stable chromosomes possess two C bands, implying the presence of two centromeric regions. The first child, evaluated for dysmorphic features was shown to have an abnormal chromosome 16, designated as 46, XX, -16, + dic (16) (pter leads t...
متن کاملResolution of dicentric chromosomes by Ty-mediated recombination in yeast.
We have integrated a plasmid containing a yeast centromere, CEN5, into the HIS4 region of chromosome III by transformation. Of the three transformant colonies examined, none contained a dicentric chromosome, but all contained a rearranged chromosome III. In one transformant, rearrangement occurred by homologous recombination between two Ty elements; one on the left arm and the other on the righ...
