Abstract：
:Meiosis is characterized by two chromosome segregation rounds (meiosis I and II), which follow a single round of DNA replication, resulting in haploid genome formation. Chromosome reduction occurs at meiosis I. It relies on key structures, such as chiasmata, which are formed by repair of double-strand breaks (DSBs) between the homologous chromatids. In turn, to allow for segregation of homologs, chiasmata rely on the maintenance of sister chromatid cohesion. In most species, chiasma formation requires the prior synapsis of homologous chromosome axes, which is mediated by the synaptonemal complex, a tripartite proteinaceous structure specific to prophase I of meiosis. Yemanuclein (Yem) is a maternal factor that is crucial for sexual reproduction. It is required in the zygote for chromatin assembly of the male pronucleus, where it acts as a histone H3.3 chaperone in complex with Hira. We report here that Yem associates with the synaptonemal complex and the cohesin complex. A genetic interaction between yem(1) (V478E) and the Spo11 homolog mei-W68, modified a yem(1) dominant effect on crossover distribution, suggesting that Yem has an early role in meiotic recombination. This is further supported by the impact of yem mutations on DSB kinetics. A Hira mutation gave a similar effect, presumably through disruption of Hira-Yem complex.

杂志文章abstract：:In contrast to the highly dynamic actin cytoskeleton in non-muscle cells, actin filaments in muscle sarcomeres are thought to be relatively stable and undergo dynamics only at their ends. However, many proteins that promote rapid actin dynamics are also expressed in striated muscles. We show that a subset of actin fil...
