Meiosis in Mice without a Synaptonemal Complex
The synaptonemal complex (SC) promotes fusion of the homologous chromosomes (synapsis) and crossover recombination events during meiosis. The SC displays an extensive structural conservation between species; however, a few organisms lack SC and execute meiotic process in a SC-independent manner. To clarify the SC function in mammals, we have generated a mutant mouse strain (Sycp1(-/-)Sycp3(-/-)...
متن کاملMeiosis: Making a Synaptonemal Complex Just Got Easier
In preparation for meiosis, chromosomes go through several massive structural transitions, including chromosome fragmentation, pairing and synapsis. A checkpoint factor and a SUMO ligase collaborate to keep things in order.
متن کاملOrganization of the synaptonemal complex during meiosis in Caenorhabditis elegans.
Four different SYP proteins (SYP-1, SYP-2, SYP-3, and SYP-4) have been proposed to form the central region of the synaptonemal complex (SC) thereby bridging the axes of paired meiotic chromosomes in Caenorhabditis elegans. Their interdependent localization suggests that they may interact within the SC. Our studies reveal for the first time how these SYP proteins are organized in the central reg...
متن کاملIn vivo analysis of synaptonemal complex formation during yeast meiosis.
During meiotic prophase a synaptonemal complex (SC) forms between each pair of homologous chromosomes and is believed to be involved in regulating recombination. Studies on SCs usually destroy nuclear architecture, making it impossible to examine the relationship of these structures to the rest of the nucleus. In Saccharomyces cerevisiae the meiosis-specific Zip1 protein is found throughout the...
متن کاملChronology of meiosis & synaptonemal complex abnormalities in normal & abnormal spermatogenesis.
BACKGROUND & OBJECTIVES The study was taken up to define criteria of normality for meiosis by assessing the frequency of meiotic prophase cell types, the frequency of pachytene substage in normal and abnormal spermatogenesis and to determine what synaptonemal complex. METHODS A quantitative and qualitative analysis of the first meiotic prophase was performed in 10 patients presenting with non...
