Disease relevance of Meiosis

 

High impact information on Meiosis

  • It is concluded on balance that the evidence points to a need for phosphoinositide/calcium signaling during resumption of meiosis [6].
  • Differently regulated APCs (APC(Cdh1), APC(Ama1)) have not been implicated in securin degradation at meiosis I [7].
  • Here we show that Mnd2, a subunit of the anaphase-promoting complex (APC/C) from budding yeast, is essential to prevent premature destruction of cohesion in meiosis [8].
  • (2005) show that mice with a mutation in the meiosis-specific cohesin protein SMC1beta exhibit age-dependent defects in meiosis [9].
  • Drosophila MEI-S332 and fungal Sgo1 genes are essential for sister centromere cohesion in meiosis I [10].

Gene context of Meiosis

  • We conclude that IME1 is a positive regulator of meiosis that normally is repressed by RME1 [27].
  • The RAD50 gene of S. cerevisiae is required during meiosis for both recombination and chromosome synapsis and is also required for repair of double strand breaks during vegetative growth [28].
  • Cyclin A1 is required for meiosis in the male mouse [29].
  • Early studies in yeast revealed a role for some of these proteins, including Msh5, in meiosis [30].
  • To assess the role of Mlh3 in mammalian meiosis, we have generated and characterized Mlh3(-/-) mice [31].
