High impact information on him-14

  • Overexpression of the klp-3 gene partially rescues the lethal phenotype of the maternal lethal him-14 ts(it44) mutants at non-permissive temperatures, and reduces the incidence of males caused by non-disjunction of the X-chromosome [1].
  • Loss of him-14 function severely reduces crossing over, resulting in lack of chiasmata between homologs and consequent missegregation [2].
  • Formation of crossovers between homologous chromosomes during Caenorhabditis elegans meiosis requires the him-14 gene [2].
  • In rec-1; him-6 and rec-1; him-14 homozygotes the frequency of crossing over was characteristic of the Him mutant phenotype, whereas the distribution of the reduced number of exchanges was characteristic of the Rec-1 pattern [3].
