Epigenetics of the Synaptonemal Complex
Meiosis is a process composed of two divisions of the germ line cells without an intervenient S phase, thus there is no duplication of DNA between the first and the second meiotic divisions. The first meiotic division begins with the pre-leptotene that is the stage where the DNA replicates and chromosomes prepare to enter the meiotic prophase I in most

Zipping up the Synaptonemal Complex: Pathways to Homologous Chromosome Synapsis. [PDF]
The synaptonemal complex (SC) is a conserved protein structure that assembles between homologous chromosomes during meiosis. Here, we review pathways promoting homologous synapsis across model organisms, examining coordination with homolog pairing and recombination, spatiotemporal regulation of SC assembly, and the conserved molecular modules coupling ...

Cytological analysis of MRE11 protein during early meiotic prophase I in Arabidopsis and tomato [PDF]
Early recombination nodules (ENs) are multiprotein complexes that are thought to be involved in synapsis and recombination, but little is known about their components or how they may be involved in these events. In this study, we describe the cytological

Synaptonemal complex components persist at centromeres and are required for homologous centromere pairing in mouse spermatocytes. [PDF]
Recent studies in simple model organisms have shown that centromere pairing is important for ensuring high-fidelity meiotic chromosome segregation. However, this process and the mechanisms regulating it in higher eukaryotes are unknown.

Involvement of synaptonemal complex proteins in sex chromosome segregation during marsupial male meiosis. [PDF]
Marsupial sex chromosomes break the rule that recombination during first meiotic prophase is necessary to ensure reductional segregation during first meiotic division.

Heterogeneity in conservation of multifunctional partner enzymes with meiotic importance, CDK2 kinase and BRCA1 ubiquitin ligase [PDF]
The evolution of proteins can be accompanied by changes not only to their amino acid sequences, but also their structural and spatial molecular organization.
