Synapsis and recombination in inversion heterozygotes.
Inversion heterozygotes are expected to suffer from reduced fertility and a high incidence of chromosomally unbalanced gametes due to recombination within the inverted region. Non-homologous synapsis of the inverted regions can prevent recombination there and diminish the deleterious effects of inversion heterozygosity. The choice between non-homologous and homologous synapsis depends on the si...
متن کاملCentromere Clustering: Where Synapsis Begins
Centromeres congregate into a large cluster called the chromocenter during Drosophila oogenesis. Two recent studies now define a function and a genetic basis for this remarkable structure.
متن کاملMeiotic synapsis in the absence of recombination.
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. Electron microscopy of oocytes from females homozygous for either of two meiotic mutants (mei-W68 and mei-P22), wh...
متن کاملPushing and Pulling: Microtubules Mediate Meiotic Pairing and Synapsis
Meiotic pairing in the nematode Caenorhabditis elegans is facilitated by chromosomal sites known as pairing centers that are tethered to the nuclear envelope. Sato et al. (2009) and Penkner et al. (2009) provide insight into how proteins linking pairing centers and the microtubule cytoskeleton mediate homolog pairing and restrict synapsis to homologous pairs of chromosomes.
متن کاملFailure of homologous synapsis and sex-specific reproduction problems
The prophase of meiosis I ensures the correct segregation of chromosomes to each daughter cell. This includes the pairing, synapsis, and recombination of homologous chromosomes. A subset of chromosomal abnormalities, including translocation and inversion, disturbs these processes, resulting in the failure to complete synapsis. This activates the meiotic pachytene checkpoint, and the gametes are...
