Improper chromosome synapsis is associated with elongated RAD51 structures in the maize desynaptic2 mutant.

Chromosoma - 1 Jul 2003

Franklin Amie E, Golubovskaya Inna N, Bass Hank W, Cande W Zacheus

Abstract excerpt

The RecA homolog, RAD51, performs a central role in catalyzing the DNA strand exchange event of meiotic recombination. During meiosis, RAD51 complexes develop on pairing chromosomes and then most disappear upon synapsis. In the maize meiotic mutant desynaptic2 (dsy2), homologous chromosome pairin...
