Initiation of Meiotic Recombination in Ustilago maydis [PDF]
Genetics, 2013 Abstract A central feature of meiosis is the pairing and recombination of homologous chromosomes. Ustilago maydis, a biotrophic fungus that parasitizes maize, has long been utilized as an experimental system for studying recombination, but it has not been clear when in the life cycle meiotic recombination initiates. U.

Oocyte–cumulus cell interaction: a key factor in early embryo development
Biological Reviews, EarlyView.ABSTRACT The evaluation of oocyte competence is a fundamental step in achieving successful outcomes following assisted reproduction techniques (ART). At present, however, conventional oocyte maturation assessment is carried out by morphological observation, which is a subjective method that does not consider molecular features.

Meiotic Recombination: Sealing the Partnership at the Junction [PDF]
Current Biology, 2004 Crossovers ensure proper chromosome segregation in meiosis. A heterodimer of MutS proteins, hMSH4-hMSH5, has recently been found to interact with recombination intermediates in a manner that suggests a mechanism for directing meiotic DNA double strand break repair towards a crossover pathway.

Biological Reviews, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Heat stress (HS) is an increasing threat to male reproductive health, disrupting spermatogenesis through complex and interdependent cellular responses within the seminiferous epithelium. Although excessive reactive oxygen species (ROS) production is a hallmark of HS, ROS also act as central regulators of cell fate decisions beyond their role ...

Multiple Mechanisms of Meiotic Recombination [PDF]
Cell, 2006 In this issue, reveal that different meiotic recombination mechanisms predominate in fission yeast and budding yeast. Budding yeast usually form crossover recombinants through double Holliday junctions, whereas fission yeast unexpectedly appear to form crossover recombinants through single junctions.

Cytoskeleton, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Cooperativity between cytoskeletal proteins is crucial for spatiotemporal coordination in biological processes, like oogenesis. In mammalian and Drosophila oogenesis, proper assembly and function of actin networks require coordination between actin assembly factors Spire and formins, as well as actin‐associated proteins like myosins and Rab ...

iScience, 2022 Summary: Meiotic prophase I is a prolonged G2 phase that ensures the completion of numerous meiosis-specific chromosome events. During meiotic prophase I, homologous chromosomes undergo synapsis to facilitate meiotic recombination yielding crossovers. It

Spatiotemporal regulation of meiotic recombination by Liaisonin [PDF]
BioArchitecture, 2013 Sexual reproduction involves diversification of genetic information in successive generations. Meiotic recombination, which substantially contributes to the increase in genetic diversity, is initiated by programmed DNA double-strand breaks (DSBs) catalyzed by the evolutionarily conserved Spo11 protein. Spo11 requires additional partner proteins for its

PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, EarlyView.Biodiversity is threatened by human activities, with extinction debt accumulating rapidly. Many of these activities change the connectivity of populations, fragmenting existing population systems or bringing previously isolated populations or species into contact.

The use of deidentified organ donor testes for research
Andrology, EarlyView.Abstract Our knowledge of testis development and function mainly comes from research using mammalian model organisms, primarily the mouse. However, there are integral differences between men and other mammalian species regarding cellular composition and expression profiles during fetal and post‐natal testis development and in the mature testis ...
