SWM1, a developmentally regulated gene, is required for spore wall assembly in Saccharomyces cerevisiae. (2/6057)

Meiosis in Saccharomyces cerevisiae is followed by encapsulation of haploid nuclei within multilayered spore walls. Formation of this spore-specific wall requires the coordinated activity of enzymes involved in the biosynthesis of its components. Completion of late events in the sporulation program, leading to spore wall formation, requires the SWM1 gene. SWM1 is expressed at low levels during vegetative growth but its transcription is strongly induced under sporulating conditions, with kinetics similar to those of middle sporulation-specific genes. Homozygous swm1Delta diploids proceed normally through both meiotic divisions but fail to produce mature asci. Consistent with this finding, swm1Delta mutant asci display enhanced sensitivity to enzymatic digestion and heat shock. Deletion of SWM1 specifically affects the expression of mid-late and late sporulation-specific genes. All of the phenotypes observed are similar to those found for the deletion of SPS1 or SMK1, two putative components of a sporulation-specific MAP kinase cascade. However, epistasis analyses indicate that Swm1p does not form part of the Sps1p-Smk1p-MAP kinase pathway. We propose that Swm1p, a nuclear protein, would participate in a different signal transduction pathway that is also required for the coordination of the biochemical and morphological events occurring during the last phase of the sporulation program.  (+info)

Comparative sequence analysis of human minisatellites showing meiotic repeat instability. (3/6057)

The highly variable human minisatellites MS32 (D1S8), MS31A (D7S21), and CEB1 (D2S90) all show recombination-based repeat instability restricted to the germline. Mutation usually results in polar interallelic conversion or occasionally in crossovers, which, at MS32 at least, extend into DNA flanking the repeat array, defining a localized recombination hotspot and suggesting that cis-acting elements in flanking DNA can influence repeat instability. Therefore, comparative sequence analysis was performed to search for common flanking elements associated with these unstable loci. All three minisatellites are located in GC-rich DNA abundant in dispersed and tandem repetitive elements. There were no significant sequence similarities between different loci upstream of the unstable end of the repeat array. Only one of the three loci showed clear evidence for putative coding sequences near the minisatellite. No consistent patterns of thermal stability or DNA secondary structure were shared by DNA flanking these loci. This work extends previous data on the genomic environment of minisatellites. In addition, this work suggests that recombinational activity is not controlled by primary or secondary characteristics of the DNA sequence flanking the repeat array and is not obviously associated with gene promoters as seen in yeast.  (+info)

hMSH5: a human MutS homologue that forms a novel heterodimer with hMSH4 and is expressed during spermatogenesis. (4/6057)

MutS homologues have been identified in nearly all organisms examined to date. They play essential roles in maintaining mitotic genetic fidelity and meiotic segregation fidelity. MutS homologues appear to function as a molecular switch that signals genomic manipulation events. Here we describe the identification of the human homologue of the Saccharomyces cerevisiae MSH5, which is known to participate in meiotic segregation fidelity and crossing-over. The human MSH5 (hMSH5) was localized to chromosome 6p22-21 and appears to play a role in meiosis because expression is induced during spermatogenesis between the late primary spermatocytes and the elongated spermatid phase. hMSH5 interacts specifically with hMSH4, confirming the generality of functional heterodimeric interactions in the eukaryotic MutS homologue, which also includes hMSH2-hMSH3 and hMSH2-hMSH6.  (+info)

Sequential PKC- and Cdc2-mediated phosphorylation events elicit zebrafish nuclear envelope disassembly. (5/6057)

Molecular markers of the zebrafish inner nuclear membrane (NEP55) and nuclear lamina (L68) were identified, partially characterized and used to demonstrate that disassembly of the zebrafish nuclear envelope requires sequential phosphorylation events by first PKC, then Cdc2 kinase. NEP55 and L68 are immunologically and functionally related to human LAP2beta and lamin B, respectively. Exposure of zebrafish nuclei to meiotic cytosol elicits rapid phosphorylation of NEP55 and L68, and disassembly of both proteins. L68 phosphorylation is completely inhibited by simultaneous inhibition of Cdc2 and PKC and only partially blocked by inhibition of either kinase. NEP55 phosphorylation is completely prevented by inhibition or immunodepletion of cytosolic Cdc2. Inhibition of cAMP-dependent kinase, MEK or CaM kinase II does not affect NEP55 or L68 phosphorylation. In vitro, nuclear envelope disassembly requires phosphorylation of NEP55 and L68 by both mammalian PKC and Cdc2. Inhibition of either kinase is sufficient to abolish NE disassembly. Furthermore, novel two-step phosphorylation assays in cytosol and in vitro indicate that PKC-mediated phosphorylation of L68 prior to Cdc2-mediated phosphorylation of L68 and NEP55 is essential to elicit nuclear envelope breakdown. Phosphorylation elicited by Cdc2 prior to PKC prevents nuclear envelope disassembly even though NEP55 is phosphorylated. The results indicate that sequential phosphorylation events elicited by PKC, followed by Cdc2, are required for zebrafish nuclear disassembly. They also argue that phosphorylation of inner nuclear membrane integral proteins is not sufficient to promote nuclear envelope breakdown, and suggest a multiple-level regulation of disassembly of nuclear envelope components during meiosis and at mitosis.  (+info)

Characterization of a Caenorhabditis elegans recA-like gene Ce-rdh-1 involved in meiotic recombination. (6/6057)

A recA-like gene was identified in the Caenorhabditis elegans genome project database. The putative product of the gene, termed Ce-rdh-1 (C. elegans RAD51 and DMC1/LIM15 homolog 1), consists of 357 amino acid residues. The predicted amino acid sequence of Ce-rdh-1 showed 46-60% identity to both RAD51 type and DMC1/LIM15 type genes in several eukaryote species. The results of RNAi (RNA-mediated interference) indicated that repression of Ce-rdh-1 blocked chromosome condensation of six bivalents and dissociation of chiasmata in oocytes of F1 progeny. Oogenesis did not proceed to the diakinesis stage. Accordingly, all the eggs produced (F2) died in early stages. These results suggest that Ce-rdh-1 participates in meiotic recombination.  (+info)

Gene expression and chromatin organization during mouse oocyte growth. (7/6057)

Mouse oocytes can be classified according to their chromatin organization and the presence [surrounded nucleolus (SN) oocytes] or absence [nonsurrounded nucleolus (NSN) oocytes] of a ring of Hoechst-positive chromatin around the nucleolus. Following fertilization only SN oocytes are able to develop beyond the two-cell stage. These studies indicate a correlation between SN and NSN chromatin organization and the developmental competence of the female gamete, which may depend on gene expression. In the present study, we have used the HSP70.1Luc transgene (murine HSP70.1 promoter + reporter gene firefly luciferase) to analyze gene expression in oocytes isolated from ovaries of 2-day- to 13-week-old females. Luciferase was assayed on oocytes after classification as SN or NSN type. Our data show that SN oocytes always exhibit a higher level of luciferase activity, demonstrating a higher gene expression in this category. Only after meiotic resumption, metaphase II oocytes derived from NSN or SN oocytes acquire the same level of transgene expression. We suggest that the limited availability of transcripts and corresponding proteins, excluded from the cytoplasm until GVBD in NSN oocytes, could explain why these oocytes have a lower ability to sustain embryonic development beyond the two-cell stage at which major zygotic transcription occurs. With this study we have furthered our knowledge of epigenetic regulation of gene expression in oogenesis.  (+info)

Germ cell development in the XXY mouse: evidence that X chromosome reactivation is independent of sexual differentiation. (8/6057)

Prior to entry into meiosis, XX germ cells in the fetal ovary undergo X chromosome reactivation. The signal for reactivation is thought to emanate from the genital ridge, but it is unclear whether it is specific to the developing ovary. To determine whether the signals are present in the developing testis as well as the ovary, we examined the expression of X-linked genes in germ cells from XXY male mice. To facilitate this analysis, we generated XXY and XX fetuses carrying X chromosomes that were differentially marked and subject to nonrandom inactivation. This pattern of nonrandom inactivation was maintained in somatic cells but, in XX as well as XXY fetuses, both parental alleles were expressed in germ cell-enriched cell populations. Because testis differentiation is temporally and morphologically normal in the XXY testis and because all germ cells embark upon a male pathway of development, these results provide compelling evidence that X chromosome reactivation in fetal germ cells is independent of the somatic events of sexual differentiation. Proper X chromosome dosage is essential for the normal fertility of male mammals, and abnormalities in germ cell development are apparent in the XXY testis within several days of X reactivation. Studies of exceptional germ cells that survive in the postnatal XXY testis demonstrated that surviving germ cells are exclusively XY and result from rare nondisjunctional events that give rise to clones of XY cells.  (+info)

In the budding yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae, unnatural stabilization of the cyclin-dependent kinase inhibitor Sic1 during meiosis can trigger extra rounds of DNA replication. When programmed DNA double-strand breaks are generated but not repaired due to absence of DMC1, a pathway involving the checkpoint gene RAD17 prevents this DNA rereplication. Further genetic analysis has now revealed that prevention of DNA rereplication also requires MEC1, which encodes a protein kinase that serves as a central checkpoint regulator in several pathways including the meiotic recombination checkpoint response. Downstream of MEC1, MEK1 is required through its function to inhibit repair between sister chromatids. By contrast, meiotic recombination checkpoint effectors that regulate gene expression and cyclin-dependent kinase activity are not necessary. Phosphorylation of histone H2A, which is catalyzed by Mec1 and the related Tel1 protein kinase in response to DNA double-strand breaks and can help coordinate ...
In the germline of Caenorhabditis elegans hermaphrodites, meiotic cell cycle progression occurs in spatially restricted regions. Immediately after leaving the distal mitotic region, germ cells enter meiosis and thereafter remain in the pachytene stage of first meiotic prophase for an extended period. At the dorsoventral gonadal flexure, germ cells exit pachytene and subsequently become arrested in diakinesis. We have found that exit from pachytene is dependent on the function of three members of the MAP kinase signaling cascade. One of these genes, mek-2, is a newly identified C. elegans MEK (MAP kinase kinase). The other two genes, mpk-1/sur-1 (MAP kinase) and let-60 ras, were previously identified based on their roles in vulval induction and are shown here to act in combination with mek-2 to permit exit from pachytene. Through genetic mosaic analysis, we demonstrate that the expression of mpk-1/sur-1 is required within the germline to permit exit from pachytene.. ...
Errors in chromosome segregation in mammalian oocytes lead to aneuploid eggs that are developmentally compromised. In mitotic cells, mitotic centromere associated kinesin (MCAK; KIF2C) prevents chromosome segregation errors by detaching incorrect microtubule-kinetochore interactions. Here, we examine whether MCAK is involved in spindle function in mouse oocyte meiosis I, and whether MCAK is necessary to prevent chromosome segregation errors. We find that MCAK is recruited to centromeres, kinetochores and chromosome arms in mid-meiosis I, and that MCAK depletion, or inhibition using a dominant-negative construct, causes chromosome misalignment. However, the majority of oocytes complete meiosis I and the resulting eggs retain the correct number of chromosomes. Moreover, MCAK-depleted oocytes can recover from mono-orientation of homologous kinetochores in mid-meiosis I to segregate chromosomes correctly. Thus, MCAK contributes to chromosome alignment in meiosis I, but is not necessary for ...

During meiosis, a single round of DNA replication is followed by two rounds of chromosome segregation, called meiosis I and meiosis II. At meiosis I, homologous chromosomes recombine and then segregate to opposite poles, while the sister chromatids segregate from each other at meoisis II. In vertebrates, immature oocytes are arrested at the PI (prophase of meiosis I). The resumption of meiosis is stimulated by progesterone, which carries the oocyte through two consecutive M-phases (MI and MII) to a second arrest at MII. The key activity driving meiotic progression is the MPF (maturation-promoting factor), a heterodimer of CDC2 (cell division cycle 2 kinase) and cyclin B. In PI-arrested oocytes, MPF is initially inactive and is activated by the dual-specificity CDC25C phosphatase as the result of new synthesis of Mos induced by progesterone. MPF activation mediates the transition from the PI arrest to MI. The subsequent decrease in MPF levels, required to exit from MI into interkinesis, is ...
TY - JOUR. T1 - Initiation of homologous chromosome pairing during meiosis. AU - Jordan, P.. PY - 2006/8/1. Y1 - 2006/8/1. N2 - Following pre-meiotic DNA replication, homologous chromosomes must be paired and become tightly linked to ensure reductional segregation during meiosis I. Therefore initiation of homologous chromosome pairing is vital for meiosis to proceed correctly. A number of factors contribute to the initiation of homologous chromosome pairing including telomere and centromere dynamics, pairing centres, checkpoint proteins and components of the axial element. The present review briefly summarizes recent progress in our understanding of initiation of homologous chromosome pairing during meiosis and discusses the differences that are observed between research organisms..

MEDICAL ANIMATION TRANSCRIPT: Let's compare two types of cell division, mitosis and meiosis. While mitosis occurs all over the body in somatic cells, meiosis only occurs in the reproductive cells of the gonads in order to form gametes. The original cell in both mitosis and meiosis is diploid. Mitosis consists of one cell division, while meiosis consists of two stages of cell division called meiosis 1 and meiosis 2. Mitosis results in two diploid daughter cells. In contrast, meiosis results in four daughter cells that are haploid gametes. The two daughter cells resulting from mitosis are genetic duplicates of each other and the original cell. But each haploid gamete resulting from meiosis is genetically different from every gamete ever formed. [music ...
TY - JOUR. T1 - The SMC-5/6 Complex and the HIM-6 (BLM) Helicase Synergistically Promote Meiotic Recombination Intermediate Processing and Chromosome Maturation during Caenorhabditis elegans Meiosis.

N2 - Meiotic recombination is essential for the repair of programmed double strand breaks (DSBs) to generate crossovers (COs) during meiosis. The efficient processing of meiotic recombination intermediates not only needs various resolvases but also requires proper meiotic chromosome structure. The Smc5/6 complex belongs to the structural maintenance of chromosome (SMC) family and is closely related to cohesin and condensin. Although the Smc5/6 complex has been implicated in the processing of recombination intermediates during meiosis, it is not known how Smc5/6 controls meiotic DSB repair. Here, using Caenorhabditis elegans we show ...

Meiosis I consists of 4 stages which are Prophase I, Anaphase I, Metaphase I and Telophase I. Meiosis II consists of 4 stages as well which are Prophase II, Anaphase II, Metaphase II and Telophase II. For Meiosis I, Prophase I is the longest phase in Meiosis. During prophase I a cell will undergo 5 stages which are leptotene, zygotene, pachytene, diplotene and diakinesis. At leptotene, the homologous chromosome starts to condense. At zygotene, the synaptonemal complex is formed. At pachytene, the synapsis process is completed and the homologous chromosomes start the crossing over. This stage can stay for days until the desynapsis occur. At diplotene stage, desynapsis occur causing the disappearance of synaptonemal complex and the chiasma is now visible. At diakinesis stage, the bivalent is ready for the segregation[2]. At the end of prophase I, the nuclear membrane disappears. At Metaphase I, the homologous chromosome aligns on the metaphase plate which is the middle of the cell. At Anaphase I, ...
MEIOSIS is a special type of cell cycle that produces haploid gametes from diploid parental cells. Unique to meiosis is the reductional division in which homologous chromosomes segregate to opposite poles. During the prophase that precedes this division, homologs pair with each other and undergo high levels of genetic recombination. Recombination plays at least two important roles in segregating chromosomes. First, it ensures that each chromosome finds its homolog. Second, a fraction of meiotic recombination events leads to reciprocal exchange (crossing over), which establishes physical connections between homologs. These connections, called chiasmata, ensure the proper alignment of chromosomes on the spindle apparatus at meiosis I.. The molecular mechanism of meiotic recombination has been well characterized in budding yeast. Meiotic recombination starts with double-strand breaks (DSBs) catalyzed by the Spo11 protein (Keeney 2001). Strands with 5′-termini at DSB ends are selectively degraded ...
Meiosis is a reductional division that produces haploid gametes or spores from diploid progenitor cells. Ploidy reduction is achieved by one round of DNA replication, followed by two consecutive nuclear divisions (Meiosis I and II), producing four daughter cells (Roeder 1997). Crossovers promote the formation of chiasma which serves as a physical linkage between two homologs and opposes the spindle generated forces that pull apart the homolog pairs. This opposing set of forces provides the tension necessary to promote proper disjunction of homolog pairs at Meiosis I (Petronczki et al. 2003). Failure to maintain at least one crossover per homolog pair increases the probability of nondisjunction, resulting in aneuploid gametes (Serrentino and Borde 2012). Although crossovers are important for chromosome segregation, nonexchange chromosomes have been observed to segregate accurately forming viable gametes (Hawley et al. 1992; Davis and Smith 2003; Kemp et al. 2004; Newnham et al. 2010; ...
The breakdown of the germinal vesicle indicates a resumption of meiosis and the extrusion of the first polar body (1 PB) indicates completion of the first meiotic division in human oocytes. The polar body is a small cytoplasmic exclusion body formed to enclose the excess DNA formed during the oocyte (egg) meiosis and following sperm fertilization. There are 2-3 polar bodies derived from the oocyte present in the zygote, the number is dependent upon whether polar body 1 (the first polar body formed during meiosis 1) divides during meiosis 2. This exclusion body contains the excess DNA from the reductive division (the second and third polar bodies are formed from meiosis 2 at fertilization). These polar bodies do not contribute to the future genetic complement of the zygote, embryo or fetus. Recent research in some species suggest that the space formed by the peripheral polar body (between the oocyte and the zona pellucia) can influence the site of spermatozoa fertilization. Assisted reproductive ...

Meiosis is the specialized cell division used in sexually reproducing organisms to produce haploid gametes from diploid cells (reviewed by Petronczki et al, 2003). During meiosis, a single round of DNA replication is followed by two successive divisions: the first (reductional) division segregates homologous chromosomes, and the second (equational) division separates sister chromatids from each other. The first division requires pairing and synapsis of homologous chromosomes to ensure accurate segregation, while the second releases sister chromatid cohesion. Homologous chromosome recognition (pairing), synaptonemal complex assembly (synapsis) and homologous recombination are the three events that promote and ensure bivalent formation and stability before the first anaphase division (reviewed by Yamamoto and Hiraoka, 2001).. In Saccharomyces cerevisiae and most likely in all eukaryotes, meiotic recombination is initiated by the Spo11 protein, a member of the type II topoisomerase family (Bergerat ...
Accurate chromosome segregation during meiosis requires that homologous chromosomes pair and become physically connected so that they can orient properly on the meiosis I spindle. These connections are formed by homologous recombination closely integrated with the development of meiosis-specific, higher-order chromosome structures. The yeast Pch2 protein has emerged as an important factor with roles in both recombination and chromosome structure formation, but recent analysis suggested that TRIP13, the mouse Pch2 ortholog, is not required for the same processes. Using distinct Trip13 alleles with moderate and severe impairment of TRIP13 function, we report here that TRIP13 is required for proper synaptonemal complex formation, such that autosomal bivalents in Trip13-deficient meiocytes frequently displayed pericentric synaptic forks and other defects. In males, TRIP13 is required for efficient synapsis of the sex chromosomes and for sex body formation. Furthermore, the numbers of crossovers and ...

Author Summary Cell proliferation involves DNA replication followed by a mitotic division, producing two cells with identical genomes. Diploid organisms, which contain two genome copies per cell, also undergo meiosis, where DNA replication followed by two divisions produces haploid gametes, the equivalent sperm and eggs, with a single copy of the genome. During meiosis, the two copies of each chromosome are brought together and connected by recombination intermediates (joint molecules, JMs) at sites of sequence identity. During meiosis, JMs frequently resolve as crossovers, which exchange flanking sequences, and crossovers are required for accurate chromosome segregation. JMs also form during the mitotic cell cycle, but resolve infrequently as crossovers. To understand how JMs resolve during the mitotic cell cycle, we used a property of budding yeast, return to growth (RTG), in which cells exit meiosis and resume the mitotic cell cycle. By returning to growth cells with high levels of JMs, we determined
DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The overall goal of this proposal is to determine the role of the dual-specificity phosphatase Cdc14 during mammalian meiosis. Meiosis is the process by which a diploid precursor cell produces haploids and it is linked to species-specific differentiation programs that generate gametes. Cdc14 is highly conserved throughout evolution and is a critical mitotic cell-cycle regulator in all organisms studied to date. In budding yeast, Cdc14 mutants are unable to properly complete the first meiotic division where homologs are segregated. Mistakes in meiosis I are linked to nondisjunctions and chromosomal anomalies in humans. Higher eukaryotes contain 2 Cdc14 proteins, Cdc14a and Cdc14b, and the functions of both will be explored in this proposal. The specific aims of this proposal are to 1) test the hypothesis that Cdc14a and Cdc14b are required for meiosis in the mouse oocyte using an RNA interference (RNAi) approach, 2) test the hypothesis that over-expression of ...
Introduction. Meiosis essay Meiosis is a reduction division which occurs in sexually reproducing organisms to produce gametes. It involves one division of the chromosomes followed by two divisions of the nucleus and cell. The diploid parent cell gives rise to four haploid daughter cells. Before meiosis can happen, the DNA Must replicate, this is done in the stage of interphase. Following interphase the first stage of meiosis occur, this is the reduction division and starts with prophase I. In early prophase I centrioles are at their respective poles and their spindle fibres start to grow. The chromosomes become more visible with a beaded appearance due to the centromeres. The chromosomes become more visible by coiling up and condensing. ...read more. Middle. The bivalents arrange themselves on the equator in a random assortment.

During the construction of yeast artificial chromosome (YAC) libraries to facilitate mapping of the human genome, two YACs may be cotransformed into the same yeast cell, making further analysis very difficult. We present a simple method to rescue the required YAC that utilizes the segregation of chromosomes at meiosis. In brief, we crossed the cotransformed yeast cell with a non-YAC-containing strain and induced the resulting diploid to sporulate and undergo meiosis. The new haploid generation included some yeast cells that contained only the desired YAC. These YACs were analyzed by conventional methods. To exclude the possibility that major rearrangement occurred during the procedure, we analyzed the YACs with restriction enzymes that cut only rarely. We conclude that this is a useful technique to rescue cotransformed YACs.
Germ cells are unique in undergoing meiosis to generate oocytes and sperm. In mammals, meiosis onset is before birth in females, or at puberty in males, and recent studies have uncovered several regulatory steps involved in initiating meiosis in each sex. Evidence suggests that retinoic acid (RA) induces expression of the critical pre-meiosis gene Stra8 in germ cells of the fetal ovary, pubertal testis and adult testis. In the fetal testis, CYP26B1 degrades RA, while FGF9 further antagonises RA signalling to suppress meiosis. Failsafe mechanisms involving Nanos2 may further suppress meiosis in the fetal testis. Here, we draw together the growing knowledge relating to these meiotic control mechanisms, and present evidence that they are co-ordinately regulated and that additional factors remain to be identified. Understanding this regulatory network will illuminate not only how the foundations of mammalian reproduction are laid, but also how mis-regulation of these steps can result in infertility ...
There is a wealth of information on the genetic requirement of chromosome synapsis (1). For instance, the SC physically holds together the homologous chromosomes and thus is required for chromosome synapsis (26, 27). However, little is known about the regulation of chromosome desynapsis. Homologs must undergo desynapsis at the diplotene stage in preparation for the first meiotic cell division. Mouse HSPA2 and PLK1 localize to the SC and have been postulated to promote chromosome desynapsis in pachynema (21, 28). Inactivation of HSPA2 causes arrest at the pachytene stage in mouse testis (28). The function of PLK1 in mouse meiosis has not been examined genetically (29). In budding yeast, Cdc5 (PLK1 homolog) is required for SC disassembly and pachytene exit (30). In contrast, inactivation of Skp1 causes premature chromosome desynapsis in both pachytene spermatocytes and oocytes. The Skp1 mutant reported here is the only mouse mutant known to display premature chromosome desynapsis.. Chromosome ...

Cell division in reproductive cells is called meiosis. This two-phase process divides the chromosomes of a diploid germ cell, generating four haploid gametes. During prophase I, the nuclear envelope begins to breakdown and nuclear chromatin starts to condense into individual chromosomes made up of two sister chromatids. Then, during metaphase I, pairs of homologous chromosomes (called tetrads) move along their microtubule attachments so they are lined up along the metaphase plate. The next step is anaphase I, during which the attachments between the homologous chromosomes break down, and kinetochores pull the homologous chromosomes towards opposite poles. The final stages of meiosis I are telophase and cytokinesis, during which the cells split apart forming two daughter cells. The first phase of meiosis II is prophase II, during which the nuclear envelope breaks down and the spindles reform. During metaphase II, the chromosomes align along the metaphase plate. During anaphase II, sister ...

BACKGROUND Meiosis is a unique form of cell division in which cells divide twice but DNA is duplicated only once. Errors in chromosome segregation during meiosis will result in aneuploidy, followed by loss of the conceptus during pregnancy or birth defects. During mitosis, cells utilize a mechanism called the spindle assembly checkpoint (SAC) to ensure faithful chromosome segregation. A similar mechanism has been uncovered for meiosis in the last decade, especially in the past several years. METHODS For this review, we included data and relevant information obtained through a PubMed database search for all articles published in English from 1991 through 2011 which included the term meiosis, spindle assembly checkpoint, or SAC. RESULTS There are 91 studies included. Evidence for the existence of SAC functions in meiosis is provided by studies on the SAC proteins mitotic-arrest deficient-1 (Mad1), Mad2, budding uninhibited by benzimidazole-1 (Bub1), Bub3, BubR1 and Mps1; microtubule-kinetochore
Basigin (BSG) is a multifunctional glycoprotein that plays an important role in male reproduction since male knockout (KO) mice are sterile. The Bsg KO testis lacks elongated spermatids and mature spermatozoa, a phenotype similar to that of alpha-mannosidase IIx (MX) KO mice. MX regulates formation of N-acetylglucosamine (GlcNAc) terminated N-glycans that participate in germ cell-Sertoli cell adhesion. Results showed that Bsg KO spermatocytes displayed normal homologous chromosome synapsis and progression through meiosis. However, only punctate expression of the round spermatid marker SP-10 in the acrosomal granule of germ cells of Bsg KO mice was detected indicating that spermatogenesis in Bsg KO mice was arrested at the early round spermatid stages. We observed a large increase in the number of germ cells undergoing apoptosis in Bsg KO testes. Using lectin blotting, we determined that GlcNAc terminated N-glycans are linked to BSG. GlcNAc terminated N-glycans were significantly reduced in Bsg KO testes
Mechanisms for the initiation signal that delays the MI division.We address three possible mechanisms for the earlier start of the MI division in initiation mutants. The first hypothesis is that WT cells have a longer S phase because of the presence of recombination initiation proteins and that this results in a normal delay of the MI division. Cha et al. (4) showed that premeiotic S phase is shorter in spo11 mutants than in WT cells (4). This is consistent with the view that the shorter S phase results in the earlier timing of the MI division observed in spo11 mutants. The same authors, however, also showed that rec102 mutants had normal timing of premeiotic S phase (4). This is something of a paradox, since rec102 mutants clearly begin the MI division earlier than WT cells. We observe no significant differences in the timing of S phase (measured in three different ways) between WT cells and rec102, rec104, rec114, and spo11 mutants (Table 1). We note that the exact time at which 50% of cells ...

Mammalian MutL homologues function in DNA mismatch repair (MMR) after replication errors and in meiotic recombination. Both functions are initiated by a heterodimer of MutS homologues specific to either MMR (MSH2-MSH3 or MSH2-MSH6) or crossing over (MSH4-MSH5). Mutations of three of the four MutL homologues (Mlh1, Mlh3, and Pms2) result in meiotic defects. We show herein that two distinct complexes involving MLH3 are formed during murine meiosis. The first is a stable association between MLH3 and MLH1 and is involved in promoting crossing over in conjunction with MSH4-MSH5. The second complex involves MLH3 together with MSH2-MSH3 and localizes to repetitive sequences at centromeres and the Y chromosome. This complex is up-regulated in Pms2−/− males, but not females, providing an explanation for the sexual dimorphism seen in Pms2−/− mice. The association of MLH3 with repetitive DNA sequences is coincident with MSH2-MSH3 and is decreased in Msh2−/− and Msh3−/− mice, suggesting a ...

The exchange of genetic material means that new combinations of genes are created on two of the four chromatids: Stretches of DNA with maternal gene copies are mixed with stretches of DNA with paternal copies. This creation of new gene combinations is called recombination and is very important for evolution, since it increases the amount of genetic material that evolution can act upon. A statistical technique known as linkage analysis uses the frequency of recombination to infer the location of genes, such as those that increase a persons risk for certain diseases.. At the beginning of metaphase I, the nuclear envelope has dissolved, and specialized protein fibers called microtubules have formed a spindle apparatus, as also occurs in the metaphase of mitosis. These microtubules then attach to the kinetochore protein disks on the two centromeres of the homologous pair of chromosomes. However, there is an important difference between mitosis and meiosis in the way this attachment occurs. In ...

As an important biological messenger, nitric oxide (NO) exhibits a wide range of effects during physiological and pathophysiological processes, including mammalian oocyte meiotic maturation. The present study investigated whether NO derived from two nitric oxide synthase (NOS) isoforms, inducible NOS (iNOS) or endothelial NOS (eNOS), is involved in the meiotic maturation of porcine oocytes. Meanwhile, the cumulus cells function in meiotic maturation and their interaction with oocyte development and degeneration were also investigated using cumulus-enclosed oocytes (CEOs) and denuded oocytes (DOs). Different inhibitors for NOS were supplemented to the medium. Cumulus expansion, cumulus cell DNA fragmentation and oocyte meiotic resumption were evaluated 48 h after incubation. Aminoguanidine (AG), a selective inhibitor for iNOS, suppressed cumulus expansion and inhibited CEOs to resume meiosis (p , 0.05), but did not inhibit cumulus cell DNA fragmentation. Both Nomega-nitro-L-arginine (L-NNA) and ...
We have employed a system that utilizes homologous pairs of human DNA-derived yeast artificial chromosomes (YACs) as marker chromosomes to assess the specific role(s) of conserved centromere DNA elements (CDEI, CDEII and CDEIII) in meiotic chromosome disjunction fidelity. Thirteen different centromere (CEN) mutations were tested for their effects on meiotic centromere function. YACs containing a wild-type CEN DNA sequence segregate with high fidelity in meiosis I (99% normal segregation) and in meiosis II (96% normal segregation). YACs containing a 31-bp deletion mutation in centromere DNA element II (CDEII delta 31) in either a heterocentric (mutant/wild type), homocentric (mutant/mutant) or monosomic (mutant/--) YAC pair configuration exhibited high levels (16-28%) of precocious sister-chromatid segregation (PSS) and increased levels (1-6%) of nondisjunction meiosis I (NDI). YACs containing this mutation also exhibit high levels (21%) of meiosis II nondisjunction. Interestingly, significant ...
Oocyte meiosis is completed though two asymmetric cellular divisions, where the oocyte extrudes half of its DNA two times, into two smaller daughter cells called polar bodies. N-WASP is an important factor in the actin polarization pathway. We investigated whether N-WASP is required for the extrusion of both polar bodies during mouse female meiosis. Previous work in our laboratory demonstrated that the DNA replication protein origin recognition complex 4 (ORC4) forms a cage around the chromosomes that will be extruded during polar body extrusion (PBE), but not the chromosomes that remain in the oocyte. My hypothesis is that N-WASPs involvement in action polarization may be important for PBE, and related to ORC4 cage formation. We first localized N-WASP during oocyte progression through meiosis and found that it co-localizes with ORC4, except that N-WASP was not present in the initial stage, GV oocytes, while ORC4 was. This finding suggested the possibility that N-WASP was synthesized during ...
Chromosome segregation at meiosis I depends on pairing and crossing-over between homologs. In most eukaryotes, pairing culminates with formation of the proteinaceous synaptonemal complex (SC). In budding yeast, recombination initiates through double-strand DNA breaks (DSBs) and is thought to be esse …
Meiosis is a reproductive cell division since it gives rise to gametes. The resulting cells following meiosis contain half of the number of the chromosomes in the parent cell. That is because the parent cell undergoes two meiotic divisions called first meiotic division (meiosis I) and second meiotic division (meiosis II). Each of them has four major phases. These are prophase, metaphase, anaphase and telophase. Each of these phases is designated as I or II depending where it occurs, i.e. in meiosis I or in meiosis II. Anaphase II is the third stage in meiosis II. It is the stage after metaphase II, which is that phase wherein the chromosomes are at the equatorial plane and spindle fibers are attached to the kinetochores. Anaphase II is the stage when sister chromatids of every chromosome separate and begin to move towards the opposite ends of the cell. The separation and the movement is due to the shortening of the kinetochore microtubules. Anaphase II precedes telophase II. Meiotic anaphase II ...
Meiosis is essential for eukaryotic sexual reproduction, allowing the production of haploid gametes. In addition, meiotic recombination during the early stages of meiosis allows the exchange of genetic information, serving as an important source of genetic diversity. The success of meiosis depends on a complex and prolonged prophase I that involves homologous chromosome (homolog) pairing, synapsis, and recombination (Zickler and Kleckner, 1999; Page and Hawley, 2003; Schwarzacher, 2003). After pairing, the homologs continue to associate and this interaction has been referred to as homolog juxtaposition (Zickler and Kleckner, 1999). Recombination results in crossover events that correspond to cytologically observed chiasmata, which, in combination with sister chromatid cohesion, maintain the association between homologs in the form of bivalents, ensuring proper segregation of homologs at anaphase I. Synapsis, the formation of synaptonemal complexes (SCs) between closely associated chromosomes, ...

Segregation of homologous maternal and paternal centromeres to opposite poles during meiosis I depends on post-replicative crossing over between homologous non-sister chromatids, which creates chiasmata and therefore bivalent chromosomes. Destruction of sister chromatid cohesion along chromosome arms due to proteolytic cleavage of cohesins Rec8 subunit by separase resolves chiasmata and thereby triggers the first meiotic division. This produces univalent chromosomes, the chromatids of which are held together by centromeric cohesin that has been protected from separase by shugoshin (Sgo1/MEI-S332) proteins. Here we show in both fission and budding yeast that Sgo1 recruits to centromeres a specific form of protein phosphatase 2A (PP2A). Its inactivation causes loss of centromeric cohesin at anaphase I and random segregation of sister centromeres at the second meiotic division. Artificial recruitment of PP2A to chromosome arms prevents Rec8 phosphorylation and hinders resolution of chiasmata. Our data are
The pachytene checkpoint prevents meiotic nuclear division in cells that fail to complete meiotic recombination and chromosome synapsis. This control mechanism prevents chromosome missegregation that would lead to the production of aneuploid gametes. The pachytene checkpoint requires a subset of pro …
Mitosis and Meiosis By: Erin Cole and Alexis Black 2 Cells Produced Mitosis includes one division that results in two daughter cells Mitosis produces diploid cells Consistent Chromosome Number:46 Mitosis is used to replace dead or damaged cells Somatic Cells are produced Daughter cells are identical to the parent cells One advantage of Mitosis for example would be the ability of skin cells to repair and replace themselves whenever they are damaged or die. A disadvantage of Mitosis is the fact that everything is the exact same, so if a disease was to come it would wipe out the entire population of that particular organism. 4 Cells Produced Meiosis includes two cell divisions resulting in four daughter cells. Meiosis produces haploid cells Meiosis is used to produce germ or sex cells for reproduction Consistent Chromosome Number: 23 Gamete cells are produced Daughter cells are NOT identical to parent cells One advantage of Meiosis is that it doesnt produce identical cells, so if a disease were to ...
Meiosis is a cell division process that produces haploid gametes from diploid cells. Several important meiotic events take place during prophase of meiosis I, most important being homologous chromosome pairing, meiotic recombination and formation of the synaptonemal complex (SC). These processes assure proper segregation of the homologous chromosomes into the haploid germ cells. Improper segregation of the homologos can cause chromosomal abnormality (aneuploidy), which causes various human disorders, notably mental retardation and pregnancy loss.. This thesis focuses on the relationship between recombination and the formation of SCs, aggregates of SC-related materials (polycomplexes) and recombination enzymes during meiosis. We have investigated SC formation in the absence of recombination, nature of polycomplexes and recombination enzymes in relation to the SCs structures and recombination nodules (RNs) in yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae.. Studies on yeast mutants suggest that the formation of ...

Initiation of DNA replication during the mitotic cell cycle requires the activation of a cyclin-dependent protein kinase (CDK). The B-type cyclins Clb5 and Clb6 are the primary activators of the S phase function of the budding yeast CDK Cdc28. However, in mitotically growing cells this role can be fulfilled by the other B-type cyclins Clb1-Clb4. We report here that cells undergoing meiotic development also require Clb dependent CDK activity for DNA replication. Diploid clb5/clb5 clb6/clb6 mutants are unable to perform premeiotic DNA replication. Despite this defect, the mutant cells progress into the meiotic program and undergo lethal segregation of unreplicated DNA suggesting that they fail to activate a checkpoint that restrains meiotic M phase until DNA replication is complete. We have found that a DNA replication checkpoint dependent on the ATM homolog MEC1 operates in wild-type cells during meiosis and can be invoked in response to inhibition of DNA synthesis. Although cells that lack clb5 and clb6
FZR1 is an anaphase-promoting complex (APC) activator best known for its role in the mitotic cell cycle at M-phase exit, in G1, and in maintaining genome integrity. Previous studies also established that it prevents meiotic resumption, equivalent to the G2/M transition. Here we report that mouse oocytes lacking FZR1 undergo passage through meiosis I that is accelerated by ∼1 h, and this is due to an earlier onset of spindle assembly checkpoint (SAC) satisfaction and APCCDC20 activity. However, loss of FZR1 did not compromise SAC functionality; instead, earlier SAC satisfaction was achieved because the bipolar meiotic spindle was assembled more quickly in the absence of FZR1. This novel regulation of spindle assembly by FZR1 led to premature bivalent attachment to microtubules and loss of kinetochore-bound MAD2. Bivalents, however, were observed to congress poorly, leading to nondisjunction rates of 25%. We conclude that in mouse oocytes FZR1 controls the timing of assembly of the bipolar ...
ATM is a member of the phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase (PIK)like kinases, some of which are active in regulating DNA damage-induced mitotic cell-cycle checkpoints. ATM also plays a role in meiosis. Spermatogenesis in Atm−/− male mice is disrupted, with chromosome fragmentation leading to meiotic arrest; in human patients with ataxia-telangiectasia (A-T), gonadal atrophy is common. Immuno-localization studies indicate that ATM is associated with sites along the synaptonemal complex (SC), the specialized structure along which meiotic recombination occurs. Recombination, preceded by pairing of homologous chromosomes, is thought to require heteroduplex formation between homologous DNA, followed by strand exchange. These early meiotic steps (entailing the formation and processing of meiotic recombination intermediates with DNA-strand interruptions) require ssDNA-binding proteins such as replication protein A (RPA; refs 5-7). In somatic cells, DNA damage induces ATM-dependent phosphorylation of RPA. ...
Meiotic recombination is initiated by DNA double-strand breaks (DSBs) created by the topoisomerase-like protein Spo11. During DSB formation, Spo11 becomes covalently attached to the 5 DSB ends. Removal of Spo11 is essential to repair the DSB by homologous recombination. Spo11 is removed endonucleolytically creating short-lived Spo11-oligonucleotide products. Here I demonstrate that: 1. Spo11-oligonucleotide products are not detected in recombination mutants believed to be defective in meiotic DSB formation. 2. When DSB repair is delayed, Spo11-oligonucleotides persist for longer. 3. Processing of Spo11-DSB ends to create Spo11-oligonucleotides is largely dependent on Mec1 and Tel1 activity. In the process of investigating Spo11-oligonucleotide degradation, it was observed that a mutant defective in both the meiotic recombination checkpoint and in DSB repair failed to accumulate the expected level of DSBs. Work described here leads to the proposal of a DSB feedback mechanism that functions ...
The bipolar spindle forms without centrosomes naturally in female meiosis and by experimental manipulation in mitosis. Augmin is a recently discovered protein complex required for centrosome-independent microtubule generation within the spindle in Drosophila melanogaster cultured cells. Five subunits of Augmin have been identified so far, but neither their organization within the complex nor their role in developing organisms is known. In this study, we report a new Augmin subunit, wee Augmin component (Wac). Wac directly interacts with another Augmin subunit, Dgt2, via its coiled-coil domain. Wac depletion in cultured cells, especially without functional centrosomes, causes severe defects in spindle assembly. We found that a wac deletion mutant is viable but female sterile and shows only a mild impact on somatic mitosis. Unexpectedly, mutant female meiosis showed robust microtubule assembly of the acentrosomal spindle but frequent chromosome misalignment. For the first time, this study ...
A liga foi fundada sob o nome de United States International Soccer League, após a mudança do nome da United States Interregional Soccer League (USISL). Seu primeiro compeão foi o Long Island Rough Riders, que derrotou o Minnesota Thunder na final.[3] Entre 1995 e 2010 a liga recebeu vários nomes, USISL D-3 Pro League, USL D3 Pro League, USL Pro Select League, USL Pro Soccer League e USL Second Division. Em 2010 o surgimento da nova North American Soccer League, a USL First Division ficaria com apenas três times.[4] Com isso a United States Soccer Federation (USSF) sancionou que nenhuma das duas ligas iria ser disputada em 2010 e ordenou que as duas entrassem em acordo. No dia 10 de janeiro de 2010, a USSF anunciou a extinção da USL-1 para a criação da USSF D2 Pro League.[5] No dia 8 de setembro de 2010 foi anunciada a criação da USL Pro, que seria a junção da USL First Division com a USL Second Division, iniciando em 2011.[6][7] ...
A polar body is a cell structure found inside an ovum. Both animal and plant ova possess it. It is also known as a polar cell.. Asymmetrical cell division (cytokinesis) leads to the production of polar bodies during oogenesis. To conserve nutrients, the majority of cytoplasm is segregated into either the secondary oocyte or ovum, during meiosis I or meiosis II, respectively. The remaining daughter cells generated from the meiotic events contain relatively little cytoplasm and are referred to as polar bodies. Eventually, the polar bodies degenerate.. There may be one or two polar bodies in the ovum. The first polar body is one of the two products in the first stage of meiosis and is considered haploid, with 23 duplicated chromosomes (one of each pair of homologous chromosomes). The second polar body is also haploid, with 23 unduplicated chromosome. Both are relatively small and contain little cytoplasm. Sometimes the first polar body undergoes the second meiotic cell division.. In plants, the ...

Cell division in mitosis and meiosis is governed by evolutionary highly conserved protein kinases and phosphatases, controlling the timely execution of key events such as nuclear envelope breakdown, spindle assembly, chromosome attachment to the spindle and chromosome segregation, and cell cycle exit. In mitosis, the spindle assembly checkpoint (SAC) controls the proper attachment to and alignment of chromosomes on the spindle. The SAC detects errors and induces a cell cycle arrest in metaphase, preventing chromatid separation. Once all chromosomes are properly attached, the SAC-dependent arrest is relieved and chromatids separate evenly into daughter cells. The signaling cascade leading to checkpoint arrest depends on several protein kinases that are conserved from yeast to man. In meiosis, haploid cells containing new genetic combinations are generated from a diploid cell through two specialized cell divisions. Though apparently less robust, SAC control also exists in meiosis. Recently, it has emerged
Meiosis is a special type of cell division. Unlike mitosis, the way normal body cells divide, meiosis results in cells that only have half the usual number of chromosomes, one from each pair. For that reason, meiosis is often called reduction division. In the long run, meiosis increases genetic variation, in a way which will be explained later. Sexual reproduction takes place when a sperm fertilizes an egg. The eggs and sperm are special cells called gametes, or sex cells. Gametes are haploid; they have only half the number of chromosomes as a normal body cell (called a somatic cell). Fertilization restores the chromosomes in body cells to the diploid number. The basic number of chromosomes in the body cells of a species is called the somatic number and is labelled 2n. In humans 2n = 46: we have 46 chromosomes. In the sex cells the chromosome number is n (humans: n = 23).[1] So, in normal diploid organisms, chromosomes are present in two copies, one from each parent (23x2=46). The only exception ...
Monopolar attachment of sister kinetochores at meiosis 1 requires casein kinase 1. Kinetochore orientation in mitosis and meiosis
Reproductive biotechnology such as in vitro fertilization, the creation of transgenic animals or cloning by nuclear transfer depends on the use of fully grown, meiotically competent oocytes capable of completing meiotic maturation by reaching the stage of metaphase II. However, there exists only a limited quantity of these oocytes in the ovaries of females. In view of their limited number, growing oocytes without meiotic competence represent a possible source. The mechanisms controlling the acquisition of meiotic competence, however, are still not completely clear. A gas with a short half-life, nitric oxide (NO), produced by NO-synthase (NOS) enzyme can fulfill a regulatory role in this period. The objective of this study was to ascertain the role of NO in the growth phase of pig oocytes and its influence on the acquisition of meiotic competence with the help of NOS inhibitors, NO donors and their combinations. We demonstrated that the selective competitive iNOS inhibitor aminoguanidine and also ...

The long-term goal of our laboratory is to understand how the cell-cycle events of meiosis are coordinated with the developmental events of gametogenesis. Chromosome mis-segregation during female meiosis is the leading cause of miscarriages and birth defects in humans. Recent evidence suggests that many meiotic errors occur downstream of defects in oocyte growth and/or the hormonal signaling pathways that drive differentiation of the oocyte. Thus, an understanding of how meiotic progression and gamete differentiation are coordinated during oogenesis is essential to studies in both reproductive biology and medicine. We use the genetically tractable model organism Drosophila melanogaster to examine how meiotic progression is both coordinated with and instructed by the developmental program of the egg.. In mammals, studies on the early stages of oogenesis face serious technical challenges in that entry into the meiotic cycle, meiotic recombination, and the initiation of the highly conserved ...
Cell division is the process by which a parent cell divides into two or more daughter cells.[1] Cell division usually occurs as part of a larger cell cycle. In eukaryotes, there are two distinct types of cell division: a vegetative division, whereby each daughter cell is genetically identical to the parent cell (mitosis), and a reproductive cell division, whereby the number of chromosomes in the daughter cells is reduced by half to produce haploid gametes (meiosis).[2] Meiosis results in four haploid daughter cells by undergoing one round of DNA replication followed by two divisions. Homologous chromosomes are separated in the first division, and sister chromatids are separated in the second division. Both of these cell division cycles are used in the process of sexual reproduction at some point in their life cycle. Both are believed to be present in the last eukaryotic common ancestor. Prokaryotes (bacteria) undergo a vegetative cell division known as binary fission, where their genetic ...
Cell division is of two types, mitosis and meiosis. Mitosis helps in taking us from a single celled zygote to an adult but meiosis produces sperms and eggs.
During meiosis, homologous recombination (HR) enables populations to adapt during evolution by producing new combinations of DNA sequences, and also ensures the stability of the karyotype of the organism by controlling the accurate segregation of homologous chromosome pairs. In most eukaryotes, recombinases RAD51 and DMC1 play an essential role in the repair of double strand breaks during meiotic HR. In mammals, DMC1 knockout results in an arrest of meiosis at early prophase I stage, without completion of HR. However, the function of RAD51 during meiotic HR in mammals remains unclear, due to the embryonic lethality of the RAD51 knockout mouse. Here we present our functional studies of RAD51 during mouse spermatogenesis using siRNA to knockdown RAD51 both in vivo by injecting siRNAs into mouse seminiferous tubules and in an in vitro spermatogenesis system with cultured spermatocytes. Our results reveals that RAD51 is indispensable for mouse meiotic HR, and that the knockdown of RAD51 leads to the ...

The location and amount of meiotic DSBs can be examined by using a common molecular biological technique called Southern blotting, but only a subset of the total DSBs can be observed; only DSB fragments still carrying the region recognized by a Southern blot probe are detected. With the assumption that DSB formation follows a nonhomogeneous Poisson process, we propose two estimators of the total number of DSBs on a chromosome: (1) an estimator based on the Nelson-Aalen estimator, and (2) an estimator based on a record value process. Further, we compared their asymptotic accuracy.. AB - Analyzing the basic mechanism of DNA double-strand breaks ...
Mechanism and Control of Meiotic Recombination. We study homologous recombination and chromosome structural changes that occur during meiosis, using budding yeast as a model system. Recombination, and in particular the crossover products of recombination, are essential for proper chromosome segregation during meiosis. Chromosome mis-segregation caused by defects in meiotic recombination leads to chromosome imbalance in gametes, and these chromosome imbalances are a leading cause of infertility and birth defects in modern human populations. We aim to describe the molecular steps of meiotic recombination, and how they are regulated in parallel with changes in chromosome structure and with cell cycle transitions that occur during meiosis. Because meiosis is an excellent model system to study homologous recombination, our findings also have provided insight into mechanisms by which DNA damage is repaired and genome integrity is maintained during the mitotic cell cycle.. Meiotic recombination ...
The highly evolutionarily conserved protein phosphatase 6 (PP6) has been shown to have a role in many cellular processes, including the cell cycle. PP6 modulates Aurora A activity in mitosis; however, its role in meiosis is completely unknown. To understand the function of PP6 in reproductive cells, Qing-Yuan Sun, Xiao Yang, Xingzhi Xu and colleagues (p. 3769) generated and analysed conditional knockout (KO) mice in which the catalytic subunit of PP6 (PPP6C) had been deleted (Ppp6F/F;Zp3-Cre). Ppp6c conditional KO mice were subfertile, but both follicular development and completion of meiosis I were unaffected by Ppp6c ablation. Upon inspection of Ppp6c conditional KO embryos, the authors found a high incidence of aneuploidy with a failure to reach the blastocyst stage and defects in second polar body extrusion, as well as in pronuclei formation. Close examination of Ppp6c conditional KO oocytes revealed abnormal microtubule spindles and a lack of the contractile ring, which resulted in ...
Meiosis is a special division during which a cell undergoes two sequential rounds of chromosome segregation with no intervening DNA replication, to generate gamete cells with half the original chromosomal complement. During the first meiotic division (meiosis I), recombination among homologous chromosomes generates novel genetic combinations that play an important role in evolution and breeding. Crossovers persist as cytologically visible chiasmata until homologues segregate in metaphase I and are important for ensuring balanced segregation of homologues [1]. Thus the evolutionarily important effects of recombination and allele shuffling are intimately tied to the physical workings of meiotic chromosome segregation and the maintenance of genome integrity over generations.. Meiotic recombination is an elaborate process, involving numerous steps that take place over the course of many hours (e.g. [2]). Recombination is essentially a DNA repair process that relies on initial programmed double ...
Control of sister chromatid cohesion/separation is critical to ensure faithful chromosome segregation during mitosis and meiosis. Failures in this mechanism during mitosis often lead to aneuploidy and chromosome instability, a major cause of cancer, while failures during meiosis promote miscarriage, birth defects, and infertility in humans. A key protagonist in this control is the cohesin complex, which are composed essentially by four subunits, two of them, called Smc1 and Smc3 (Structural maintenance of chromosomes), are members of a highly conserved protein family also found in prokaryotes and are implicated in various functions related to DNA dynamics, dose compensation, chromosome condensation, recombination, etc. The other two subunits are specific to eukaryotes and, depending on the organism, are termed Scc1/Rad21 or Scc3/STAG, the former mainly for yeast and the latter in higher eukaryotes. In addition to their function in chromatid cohesion during chromosome segregation, our previous ...
Meiosis is necessary for sexual reproduction in eukaryotes. Genetic recombination between non-sister homologous chromosomes is needed in most organisms for successful completion of the first meiotic division. Proteins that function during meiotic recombination have been studied extensively in model organisms. However, less is known about the evolution of these proteins, especially among protists. We searched the genomes of diverse eukaryotes, representing all currently recognized supergroups, for 26 genes encoding proteins important for different stages of interhomolog recombination. We also performed phylogenetic analyses to determine the evolutionary relationships of gene homologs. At least 23 of the genes tested (nine that are known to function only during meiosis in model organisms) are likely to have been present in the Last Eukaryotic Common Ancestor (LECA). These genes encode products that function during: (i) synaptonemal complex formation; (ii) interhomolog DNA strand exchange; (iii) ...
u>,/u>The synaptonemal complex is a protein which forms between [[Homologous chromosomes,homolgous chromosomes]]. The synaptonemal complex begins to form during the zygotene phase of [[Meiosis prophase 1,Prophase I]] in [[Meiosis,Meiosis]] and is complete in the pachytene phase. Acting like a zipper it holds the homologous chromosomes together, aligning them perfectly. After complete synapsis, crossing over occurs and in the diplotene phase, where the chiasma is visible, the synaptonemal complex unzips and disappears. === References === ,references />,br>,br ...
Studies in our lab are focused on the regulation of meiosis in mammals, with special emphasis on how meiotic recombination is controlled. We focus primarily on the role of various DNA repair pathways, most notably the DNA mismatch repair (MMR) family. Initially characterized by their function in repair of DNA, and their role in the etiology of human colorectal cancer, the MMR family is important for genome stability in a variety of organisms. Their function in meiosis is no less important, since disruption of the MMR pathway in mice leads to meiotic arrest and infertility. Our lab has been heavily involved in the analysis of MMR mouse mutants and their subsequent meiotic phenotypes, and these studies form the cornerstone of our research. In addition to the study of meiotic mutants, our lab is also interested in the identification of key protein-protein and protein-DNA interactions during mouse meiosis in order to understand how recombination events are regulated, monitored and resolved. Failure ...
Regulatory subunit of the CDC7-DBF4 kinase, also called DBF4-dependent kinase (DDK), which is involved in cell cycle regulation of premitotic and premeiotic chromosome replication and in chromosome segregation. DDK plays an essential role in initiating DNA replication at replication origins by phosphorylating the MCM2 and MCM4 subunits of the MCM2-7 helicase complex. DBF4 recruits the catalytic subunit CDC7 to MCM2 and to origins of replication. DDK has also postreplicative functions in meiosis. DDK phosphorylates the meiosis-specific double-strand break protein MER2 for initiation of meiotic recombination. Interacts with CDC5 during meiosis to promote double-strand breaks and monopolar spindle orientation. Inhibits CDC5 activity during mitosis through direct binding to its PBD.
