<i>STAG3</i> , a novel gene encoding a protein involved in meiotic chromosome pairing and location of <i>STAG3</i> ‐related genes flanking the Williams‐Beuren syndrome deletion

Abstract excerpt

Chromatin rearrangements in the meiotic prophase are characterized by the assembly and disassembly of synaptonemal complexes (SC), a protein structure that stabilizes the pairing of homologous chromosomes in prophase. We report the identification of human and mouse cDNA coding for stromalin 3 (STAG3), a new mammalian stromalin member of the synaptonemal complex. The stromalins are a group of highly conserved...
