Abstract excerpt
The fission yeast Schizosaccharomyces pombe does not form synaptonemal complexes (SCs) in meiotic prophase nuclei. Instead, thin threads, the so-called linear elements (LEs), are observed at the corresponding stages by electron microscopy. Here, we demonstrate that S. pombe Rec10 is a protein related to the Saccharomyces cerevisiae SC protein Red1 and that it localizes to LEs. Moreover, a homologue to S....
