The TERB1 MYB domain suppresses telomere erosion in meiotic prophase I

open access: yesCell Reports, 2022
Summary: The meiosis-specific telomere-binding protein TERB1 anchors telomeres to the nuclear envelope and drives chromosome movements for the pairing of homologous chromosomes.

Mitotic antipairing of homologous and sex chromosomes via spatial restriction of two haploid sets. [PDF]

open access: yes, 2018
Pairing homologous chromosomes is required for recombination. However, in nonmeiotic stages it can lead to detrimental consequences, such as allelic misregulation and genome instability, and is rare in human somatic cells.

HAL-2 Promotes Homologous Pairing during Caenorhabditis elegans Meiosis by Antagonizing Inhibitory Effects of Synaptonemal Complex Precursors

open access: yesPLoS Genetics, 2012
During meiosis, chromosomes align with their homologous pairing partners and stabilize this alignment through assembly of the synaptonemal complex (SC). Since the SC assembles cooperatively yet is indifferent to homology, pairing and SC assembly must be ...

Residual tail twisting in ascidian larvae is stabilized by asymmetric myofibrils that resist bilateral symmetry restoration

open access: yesFEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Ascidian Ciona larvae initially show strong clockwise tail twisting, which is largely corrected during development. However, a small residual twist remains. This study shows that organized helical myofibrils in tail muscles mechanically stabilize this residual asymmetry, preventing complete restoration of bilateral symmetry and revealing how embryos ...

Bivalent individualization during chromosome territory formation in Drosophila spermatocytes by controlled condensin II protein activity and additional force generators.

open access: yesPLoS Genetics, 2021
Reduction of genome ploidy from diploid to haploid necessitates stable pairing of homologous chromosomes into bivalents before the start of the first meiotic division.

Dynein-dependent processive chromosome motions promote homologous pairing in C. elegans meiosis

open access: yesJournal of Cell Biology, 2012
High-resolution time-lapse imaging of meiosis in C. elegans reveals stage-specific, dynein-driven chromosome motion that accelerates homologue pairing and triggers synapsis.

On the relative homology of q-Runge pairs

open access: yesArkiv för Matematik, 2000
Using \(q\)-convex functions of \textit{A. Andreotti} and \textit{H. Grauert} [Bull. Soc. Math. Fr. 90, 193--259 (1962; Zbl 0106.05501)] we say that a pair \((X,Y)\), where \(X\) is a complex space and \(Y\) an open subset of \(X\), is \(q\)-Runge if for every compact set \(K\subset Y\) there exists a \(q\)-convex function \(\phi : X\to \mathbb R ...

Transcriptional network analysis of PTEN‐protein‐deficient prostate tumors reveals robust stromal reprogramming and signs of senescent paracrine communication

open access: yesMolecular Oncology, EarlyView.
Combining PTEN protein assessment and transcriptomic profiling of prostate tumors, we uncovered a network enriched in senescence and extracellular matrix (ECM) programs associated with PTEN loss and conserved in a mouse model. We show that PTEN‐deficient cells trigger paracrine remodeling of the surrounding stroma and this information could help ...

Quantitative dynamics of telomere bouquet formation.

open access: yesPLoS Computational Biology, 2012
The mechanism by which homologous chromosomes pair during meiosis, as a prelude to recombination, has long been mysterious. At meiosis, the telomeres in many organisms attach to the nuclear envelope and move together to form the telomere bouquet, perhaps

Germline progenitors escape the widespread phenomenon of homolog pairing during Drosophila development. [PDF]

open access: yesPLoS Genetics, 2013
Homolog pairing, which plays a critical role in meiosis, poses a potential risk if it occurs in inappropriate tissues or between nonallelic sites, as it can lead to changes in gene expression, chromosome entanglements, and loss-of-heterozygosity due to ...
