Segregation analyses and gene-centromere distances in zebrafish.
نویسندگان
چکیده
The gol-1, gol-2, alb-1 and spa-1 mutations affect pigment pattern in the zebrafish. We show here that these loci are unlinked to each other. In addition, gene-centromere distances were determined for these loci by analysis of half-tetrads obtained by the inhibition of the second meiotic division. The fractions of tetratype (second-division segregation) tetrads range from 0.24 (spa-1) to 0.89 (gol-1). The observation of greater than 0.67 second-division segregation indicates that the zebrafish has high chiasma interference.

Conservation of the Centromere/Kinetochore Protein ZW10
Mutations in the essential Drosophila melanogaster gene zw10 disrupt chromosome segregation, producing chromosomes that lag at the metaphase plate during anaphase of mitosis and both meiotic divisions. Recent evidence suggests that the product of this gene, DmZW10, acts at the kinetochore as part of a tension-sensing checkpoint at anaphase onset. DmZW10 displays an intriguing cell cycle-depende...
متن کاملIdentification of the first Transgenic Aquatic Animal in Iran by PCR-Based Method and Protein Analysis
In the recent years, there is evidence of training a red type of zebrafish which differs from wild-type in body color. There is not any document how it reaches to the ornamental fish farms of Iran but at first, it was a doubt it belongs to a morphotype or genetic modification (GM). First of all, a set primer was designed to validate zebrafish species. Mitochondrial 16srDNA was selected and ampl...
متن کاملThe kinetochore prevents centromere-proximal crossover recombination during meiosis.
During meiosis, crossover recombination is essential to link homologous chromosomes and drive faithful chromosome segregation. Crossover recombination is non-random across the genome, and centromere-proximal crossovers are associated with an increased risk of aneuploidy, including Trisomy 21 in humans. Here, we identify the conserved Ctf19/CCAN kinetochore sub-complex as a major factor that min...
متن کاملC. elegans condensin promotes mitotic chromosome architecture, centromere organization, and sister chromatid segregation during mitosis and meiosis.
Chromosome segregation and X-chromosome gene regulation in Caenorhabditis elegans share the component MIX-1, a mitotic protein that also represses X-linked genes during dosage compensation. MIX-1 achieves its dual roles through interactions with different protein partners. To repress gene expression, MIX-1 acts in an X-chromosome complex that resembles the mitotic condensin complex yet lacks ch...
متن کاملSim4
Fission yeast centromeres are composed of two domains: the central core and the outer repeats. Although both regions are required for full centromere function, the central core has a distinct chromatin structure and is likely to underlie the kinetochore itself, as it is associated with centromere-specific proteins. Genes placed within either region are transcriptionally silenced, reflecting the...
