RNA granules act as egg timers
Determining the replication factor y settings S aner et al. describe how neighboring DNA regions stochas-tically assemble into replica-tion factories in budding yeast. A replicon is a stretch of DNA duplicated from a single replication origin. In eukaryotes, multiple replicons assemble into sub-nuclear structures called replication factories, where the replicons are duplicated by DNA polymerase...
متن کاملThe meiosis-specific modification of mammalian telomeres
During meiosis, rapid chromosome movements within the nucleus enable homologous chromosomes to acquire physical juxtaposition. In most organisms, chromosome ends, telomeres, tethered to the transmembrane LINC-complex mediate this movement by transmitting cytoskeletal forces to the chromosomes. While the majority of molecular studies have been performed using lower eukaryotes as model systems, r...
متن کاملKIF4 helps mitotic chromosomes get in shape
KIF4 helps mitotic chromosomes get in shape T hough chromosomes spend most of their time occupying amorphous territories in interphase nu-clei, we typically picture them as the compact X-shaped structures that form during mitosis. Chromosomes adopt this conformation to avoid becoming entangled as they segregate into daughter cells, but how mitotic chromatin condenses into the correct shape is u...
متن کاملMeiotic behavior of small chromosomes in maize
The typical behavior of chromosomes in meiosis is that homologous pairs synapse, recombine, and then separate at anaphase I. At anaphase II, sister chromatids separate. However, studies of small chromosomes in maize derived from a variety of sources typically have failure of sister chromatid cohesion at anaphase I. This failure occurs whether there is pairing of two copies of a minichromosome o...
متن کاملThe Strandedness of Meiotic Chromosomes from Oncopeltus
Meiotic chromosomes were isolated from male Oncopeltus fasciatus by dissecting the testes under insect Ringer's solution and spreading the living cells on the Langmuir trough. After being dried by the critical point method, preparations were examined under the electron microscope. Chromosomes at all stages of prophase prove to be multistranded. A significant increase in the number of parallel 2...
