Because pairing and recombination occur during the first meiotic prophase, much attention has been focused on this stage of the process. The prophase of the first meiotic division is subdivided into five stages: leptotene, zygotene, pachytene, diplotene, and diakinesis (see illustration). Homolog...
It has been shown for the first time that the number of synаptonemal complexes (SCs) of bivalents during the stages of early pachуtena–diplotena of the meiotic prophase 1 is constantly equal to the haploid number, 19. The SC karyotype is presented. The results of comparative molecular...
The meiotic prophase I to metaphase I (PI/MI) transition requires chromosome desynapsis and metaphase competence acquisition. However, control of these major meiotic events is poorly understood. Here, we identify an essential role for SKP1, a core subunit of the SKP1–Cullin–F-box (SCF) ubiq...
Cytological studies of arrested fruiting bodies showed that chromosomes are normal in meiotic prophase through pachytene and diplotene, but are unable to undergo chromosome condensation. Genetic crosses between a monokaryon of Java stock J6;5.4 and a monokaryon BL55 or H5 of London stock showed ...
Prior to the cleavage by Separase at anaphase onset, cohesin is largely removed from chromosomes by the non-proteolytic action of WINGS APART-LIKE (WAPL), a mechanism referred to as the prophase pathway. To prevent the premature loss of sister chromatid cohesion, WAPL is inhibited in early ...
When pre-meiotic S nuclei were transplanted into conjugating cells in early meiotic prophase, they entered meiotic prophase but when transplanted into cells in meiotic metaphase I and II, they did not enter meiosis. These results suggest that G1 nuclei are not ready for entry into meiosis, ...
HFM1Meiosis prophase IPremature ovarian failure/insufficiencyOocyteFUSHelicase for meiosis 1 (HFM1), a putative DNA helicase expressed in germ-line cells, has been reported to be closely associated with premature ovarian insufficiency (POI). However, the underlying molecular mechanism has not been ...

Analysis of meiosis prophase I process in SPDYA-binding-deficient SUN1 mutant mice reveals that the SUN1-SPDYA interaction is required for the telomere-LINC complex connection and the assembly of a ring-shaped telomere supramolecular architecture at the nuclear envelope, which is critical for ...
During the pachytene stage of meiotic prophase in male mammals, the X and Y chromosomes become transcriptionally inactive and establish a chromatin domain, the sex body, that is visually distinct from the transcriptionally active autosomes. We used objective criteria to assess these chromatin ...
