S. pombe meiotic linear elements contain proteins related to synaptonemal complex components.
The fission yeast Schizosaccharomyces pombe does not form synaptonemal complexes (SCs) in meiotic prophase nuclei. Instead, thin threads, the so-called linear elements (LEs), are observed at the corresponding stages by electron microscopy. Here, we demonstrate that S. pombe Rec10 is a protein related to the Saccharomyces cerevisiae SC protein Red1 and that it localizes to LEs. Moreover, a homol...
متن کاملSynaptonemal complex proteins: occurrence, epitope mapping and chromosome disjunction.
We have used polyclonal antibodies against fusion proteins produced from cDNA fragments of a meiotic chromosome core protein, Cor1, and a protein present only in the synapsed portions of the cores, Syn1, to detect the occurrence and the locations of these proteins in rodent meiotic prophase chromosomes. The 234 amino acid Cor1 protein is present in early unpaired cores, in the lateral domains o...
متن کاملPhylogenies of central element proteins reveal the dynamic evolutionary history of the mammalian synaptonemal complex: ancient and recent components.
During meiosis, the stable pairing of the homologous chromosomes is mediated by the assembly of the synaptonemal complex (SC). Its tripartite structure is well conserved in Metazoa and consists of two lateral elements (LEs) and a central region (CR) that in turn is formed by several transverse filaments (TFs) and a central element (CE). In a previous article, we have shown that not only the str...
متن کاملMeiotic recombination proteins localise to linear elements in Schizosaccharomyces pombe
In fission yeast, meiotic prophase nuclei develop structures known as linear elements (LinEs), instead of a canonical synaptonemal complex (SC). LinEs contain Rec10 protein. While Rec10 is essential for meiotic recombination, the precise role of LinEs in this process is unknown. Using in situ immunostaining, we show that Rec7 (which is required for meiosis-specific DNA doublestrand break (DSB) ...
متن کاملEpigenetics of the Synaptonemal Complex
Meiosis is a process composed of two divisions of the germ line cells without an intervenient S phase, thus there is no duplication of DNA between the first and the second meiotic divisions. The first meiotic division begins with the pre-leptotene that is the stage where the DNA replicates and chromosomes prepare to enter the meiotic prophase I in most of the organisms with sexual reproduction ...
