Abstract excerpt
The synaptonemal complex (SC) is a meiosis-specific tripartite structure that forms between two homologous chromosomes; it consists of a central region and two parallel lateral elements. Lateral elements also are called axial elements prior to synapsis. In Saccharomyces cerevisiae, Red1, Hop1, and Mek1 are structural components of axial/lateral elements. The red1/mek1/hop1 mutants all exhibit reduced levels of...
