Chiasmata resulting from interhomolog recombination are critical for proper chromosome segregation at meiotic metaphase I, thus preventing aneuploidy and consequent deleterious effects. Recombination in meiosis is driven by programmed induction of double strand breaks (DSBs), and the repair of these

Four different SYP proteins (SYP-1, SYP-2, SYP-3 and SYP-4) have been proposed to form the central region of the synaptonemal complex (SC) thereby bridging the axes of paired meiotic chromosomes in Caenorhabditis elegans. Their interdependent localization suggests that they may interact within the S

… It is novel that denervation reduced the meiotic activation of zygotene and pachytene spermatocytes through the expression of synaptonemal complex protein 3 (SCP3) - a marker of meiosis. …
