Abstract:
:Fluorescence in situ hybridization in combination with synaptonemal complex and spindle pole body immunostaining to both spread and structurally preserved nuclei from time course experiments disclosed prominent telomere clustering during meiotic prophase of the yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae. It was found that centromere clustering, which dominates vegetative nuclear structure, is rapidly lost after induction of meiosis. Telomeres tightly clustered during leptotene/zygotene-equivalent stages in the vicinity of the spindle pole body, giving rise to a classical chromosomal bouquet arrangement. This arrangement dissolved later during prophase. Painting of chromosomes XI revealed that initially compacted chromosome territories adopt an outstretched morphology in bouquet nuclei. This conformational state was associated with alignment and pairing. Chromosome condensation during pachytene rendered condensed and compact bivalents, and dispersed telomeres. Both the spo11 and rad50S recombination mutants formed bouquets, demonstrating that bouquet formation is recombination and synapsis independent.
