MLH1p and MLH3p localize to precociously induced chiasmata of okadaic-acid-treated mouse spermatocytes.

چکیده
With the phosphatase inhibitor, okadaic acid, we induce the precocious onset of the chiasmate stage and under those conditions show that the recombination nodules, MLH1 and MLH3 foci, are localized to the chiasmata. It is concluded that MLH1/3 foci are appropriate markers for the studies of crossovers/chiasmata development and distribution at late meiotic prophase.

Distinct regulation of Mlh1p heterodimers in meiosis and mitosis in Saccharomyces cerevisiae.
Mlh1p forms three heterodimers that are important for mismatch repair (Mlh1p/Pms1p), crossing over during meiosis (Mlh1p/Mlh3p), and channeling crossover events into a specific pathway (Mlh1p/Mlh2p). All four proteins contain highly conserved ATPase domains and Pms1p has endonuclease activity. Studies of the functional requirements for Mlh1p/Pms1p in Saccharomyces cerevisae revealed an asymmetr...
متن کاملMouse Pachytene Checkpoint 2 (Trip13) Is Required for Completing Meiotic Recombination but Not Synapsis
In mammalian meiosis, homologous chromosome synapsis is coupled with recombination. As in most eukaryotes, mammalian meiocytes have checkpoints that monitor the fidelity of these processes. We report that the mouse ortholog (Trip13) of pachytene checkpoint 2 (PCH2), an essential component of the synapsis checkpoint in Saccharomyces cerevisiae and Caenorhabditis elegans, is required for completi...
متن کاملAnalysis of the proteins involved in the in vivo repair of base-base mismatches and four-base loops formed during meiotic recombination in the yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae.
DNA mismatches are generated when heteroduplexes formed during recombination involve DNA strands that are not completely complementary. We used tetrad analysis in Saccharomyces cerevisiae to examine the meiotic repair of a base-base mismatch and a four-base loop in a wild-type strain and in strains with mutations in genes implicated in DNA mismatch repair. Efficient repair of the base-base mism...
متن کاملPolo-like kinase is required for synaptonemal complex disassembly and phosphorylation in mouse spermatocytes.
During meiosis, accurate coordination of the completion of homologous recombination and synaptonemal complex (SC) disassembly during the prophase to metaphase I (G2/MI) transition is essential to avoid aneuploid gametes and infertility. Previous studies have shown that kinase activity is required to promote meiotic prophase exit. The first step of the G2/MI transition is the disassembly of the ...
متن کاملDiscrete in vivo roles for the MutL homologs Mlh2p and Mlh3p in the removal of frameshift intermediates in budding yeast
The DNA mismatch repair machinery is involved in the correction of a wide variety of mutational intermediates. In bacterial cells, homodimers of the MutS protein bind mismatches and MutL homodimers couple mismatch recognition to downstream processing steps [1]. Eukaryotes possess multiple MutS and MutL homologs that form discrete, heterodimeric complexes with specific mismatch recognition and r...
