Conformational dynamics of the Hop1 HORMA domain reveal a common mechanism with the spindle checkpoint protein Mad2. [PDF]

open access: yes, 2017
The HORMA domain is a highly conserved protein-protein interaction module found in eukaryotic signaling proteins including the spindle assembly checkpoint protein Mad2 and the meiotic HORMAD proteins.

Meiotic Synapsis in the Absence of Recombination [PDF]

open access: yesScience, 1998
Although in Saccharomyces cerevisiae the initiation of meiotic recombination, as indicated by double-strand break formation, appears to be functionally linked to the initiation of synapsis, meiotic chromosome synapsis in Drosophila females occurs in the absence of meiotic exchange.

Meiotic behavior of small chromosomes in maize

open access: yesFrontiers in Plant Science, 2013
The typical behavior of chromosomes in meiosis is that homologous pairs synapse, recombine and then separate at anaphase I. At anaphase II, sister chromatids separate.

Cytotoxicity and Effects on the Synapsis Induced by Pure Cylindrospermopsin in an E17 Embryonic Murine Primary Neuronal Culture in a Concentration- and Time-Dependent Manner

open access: yesToxins, 2022
Cylindrospermopsin (CYN) is a cyanotoxin whose incidence has been increasing in the last decades. Due to its capacity to exert damage at different levels of the organism, it is considered a cytotoxin.

Chromosome Organization in Early Meiotic Prophase

open access: yesFrontiers in Cell and Developmental Biology, 2021
One of the most fascinating aspects of meiosis is the extensive reorganization of the genome at the prophase of the first meiotic division (prophase I). The first steps of this reorganization are observed with the establishment of an axis structure, that

Pushing the (nuclear) envelope into meiosis. [PDF]

open access: yes, 2013
A recent study shows that a short isoform of a mammalian nuclear lamin is important for homologous chromosome interactions during meiotic prophase in ...

Meiotic cohesin SMC1β provides prophase I centromeric cohesion and is required for multiple synapsis-associated functions. [PDF]

open access: yesPLoS Genetics, 2013
Cohesin subunit SMC1β is specific and essential for meiosis. Previous studies showed functions of SMC1β in determining the axis-loop structure of synaptonemal complexes (SCs), in providing sister chromatid cohesion (SCC) in metaphase I and thereafter, in

TRIP13PCH-2 promotes Mad2 localization to unattached kinetochores in the spindle checkpoint response. [PDF]

open access: yes, 2015
The spindle checkpoint acts during cell division to prevent aneuploidy, a hallmark of cancer. During checkpoint activation, Mad1 recruits Mad2 to kinetochores to generate a signal that delays anaphase onset.

Contribution of Tau Pathology to Mitochondrial Impairment in Neurodegeneration

open access: yesFrontiers in Neuroscience, 2018
Tau is an essential protein that physiologically promotes the assembly and stabilization of microtubules, and participates in neuronal development, axonal transport, and neuronal polarity.

Principles of meiotic chromosome assembly revealed in S. cerevisiae [PDF]

open access: yes, 2019
During meiotic prophase, chromosomes organise into a series of chromatin loops emanating from a proteinaceous axis, but the mechanisms of assembly remain unclear.
