The synaptonemal complex (SC) is a proteinaceous structure of chromosome bivalents whose assembly is indispensable for the successful progression of the first meiotic division of sexually reproducing organisms. four proteins were identified that locate specifically to the CE: SYCE1, SYCE2, SYCE3 and TEX12. These three proteins (SYCP1, SYCE1 and SYCE3) are essential for synapsis initiation, as no CE-structures are formed in the absence of any of these proteins. The final step, i.e. synapsis extension over the entire length of the homologs, requires loading of both SYCE2 and TEX12. In their absence, short pieces of CE-like structures composed of SYCP1, SYCE1 and SYCE3 are formed that, however, cannot mature to a SC central region. |
