联会复合体

联会复合体（Synantonemalcomplex,SC）是减数分裂前期互染色体配对时,同源染色体之间形成的一种复合结构。1956年,Moses和Fawcett用电镜分别观察蛄、家鸽、猫及人的初级精母细胞的超薄切片时,首先看到了这种结构,将其定名为联会复合体（SC）。到目前为止,几乎所有观察过的真核生物,在它们的雌雄生殖细胞成熟过程中都有SC这种结构出现。1联会复合体的亚显微结构SC的主要亚显微结构特征在动植物细胞中是基本相同的,都由3股平行的线状结构组成,即两条侧生组分和一条中央组分之间有横纤丝相连,直径一般为Znm。染色质纤维以拌环…     

蚕豆细胞核仁和核质中剪接因子SC35的定位研究

本文以蚕豆(Vicia faba L.)根端分生组织细胞为材料,以抗SC35抗体为探针,在电镜下对SC35在高等植物细胞中的存在与否和分布特点进行了研究,发现经抗SC35抗体标记后,标明SC35位置的胶体金颗粒主要分布于核仁的致密纤维组分(DFC)、核质的染色质间颗粒(IGs)和染色质周边纤维处(PFs),而核仁的纤维中心(FC)、核仁液泡和集缩染色质团块中央部位的金颗粒很少。DFC, IGs和PFs处的金颗粒平均密度分别为65.89个/μm~2和36.28个/μm~2,远远高于集缩染色质团块中央部位以及FC和核仁液泡处的金颗粒平均密度(分别为5.90个/μm~2和6.26个/μm~2)。说明蚕豆细胞核仁的DFC,核质的IGs和PFs处富含剪接因子SC35。本文研究结果表明,SC35或SC35类蛋白在蚕豆细胞核质中的分布与其在哺乳动物细胞核质中的分布规律相似。同时本文首次报道了SC35或SC35类蛋白存在于核仁中。     

一位46,XY,t(11;18)平衡易位携带者的联会复合体分析

运用表面铺展联会复合体(synaptonemal cotnplex,SC)的电镜技术对一位46,XY,t(11;18)平衡易位携带者性细胞进行SC观察,分析了30个精母细胞(从早粗线期→晚粗线期)中SC图象,这些精母细胞中均显示了1个性二价体、20个常染色体二价体(SC)和1个四价体。对其中的21个四价体配对行为进行分析,发现有20个四价体发生部分异源配对,其中4、14和2个四价体分别发生在早、中和晚粗线期,发生在早粗线期的异源配对是一种直接的异源配对,与以前报道的发生在晚粗线期经联会调整的异源配对不同。并对该患者发生生殖失败的机制进行了讨论。     

G显带人体中期染色体亚显微结构的扫描电镜观察

经G带常规显带处理的人体中期染色体,通过光镜(LM)和扫描电镜(SEM)的对比观察,各号染色体的带型、着丝点和随体都是一致的。在SEM下,G显带人体染色体显示亚显微结构,LM所见的深染带区(阳性带区)呈现隆起状;而浅染带区(阴性带区)呈现凹陷状,分别称为隆起带区和凹陷带区。各号染色体都是由直径200—300A的染色质纤维构成,这些纤维丝在凹陷带区是纵向排列;在隆起带区是折迭环绕后形成许多颗粒状的染色质粒;在着丝点是纵向排列;在随体的排列是不规则。染色质粒在着丝点、随体和凹陷带区也可见到。染色体之间有长短和粗细不同的纤维丝互相连结。SEM图象表明:各号染色体都有自身固有的染色质纤维和染色质粒的排列结构,可为在SEM下精细鉴别各号染色体和准确诊断染色体病提供依据。     

家蚕联会复合体组型分析

Synaptonemal complex proteins

Synaptonemal complexes were isolated from rate spermatocytes for the purpose of biochemical and morphological analysis. Several monoclonal antibodies were elicited against purified synaptonemal complexes to study the composition and assembly of these structures. Four classes of antibodies could be discriminated according to the polypeptides that they recognize on Western blots of purified synaptonemal complexes, namely antibodies recognizing (i) a 190-kDa polypeptide; (ii) a 30- and a 33-kDa polypeptide; (iii) two polypeptides with molecular weights of about 120 kDa; and (iv) polypeptides with molecular weights of 66-55 kDa. The localization of these antigens within spermatocytes was analyzed light microscopically, by means of the immunoperoxidase technique and ultrastructurally, by immunogold labelling of surface-spread spermatocytes. The 66- to 55-kDa polypeptides are not confined to synaptonemal complexes; rather, these polypeptides appear to be chromosomal components. The 190-, 30-, and 33-kDa polypeptides make part of the lateral elements of paired as well as unpaired segments of synaptonemal complexes. The 120-kDa polypeptides were localized on the inner edge of the lateral elements, specifically in paired segments of synaptonemal complexes. The distribution of the 190-, 120-, 30-, and 33-kDa polypeptides within the testis was analyzed by immunofluorescence staining of cryostat sections. All these polypeptides turned out to be specific for nuclei of zygotene up to and including diplotene spermatocytes. Only in some early spermatids could the 190-, 30-, and 33-kDa polypeptides be detected, presumably in remnants of synaptonemal complexes.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)     

Synaptonemal complexes in insects

The synaptonemal complex (SC) is the key nuclear element formed in meiotic prophase I to join 2 homologous chromosomes at the pachytene bivalent. It is a highly conserved structure that is universally present in eukaryotes. The SC is presented as a tripartite protein structure, which consists of 2 lateral elements and a central region. In insects, the central region is particularly distinct and highly ordered. This made it possible to describe the fine structure of the central region and propose a model of its architecture. Chromatid DNA is arranged in chromatin loops extending radially from the SC. The loops appear to consist of a basic chromatin fiber with a diameter of 20–30 nm. In many insect species, synaptonemal polycomplexes occur in postpachytene cells. They represent one of the possible ways of SC degradation. Another process, which occurs beyond pachytene, is the formation of proteinaceous chromatid axis, the silver-stained chromatid core. Based on results in insect models, the chromatid cores have been related to the structure and formation of the SC. Research on insect models significantly contributed to understanding individual steps of the SC formation and temporal sequence of chromosome pairing. These include the formation of lateral elements of the SC, pairing initiation, interlocking of chromosomes, and synapsis of homologous chromosomes. Attention is also given to non-homologous pairing, including synaptic adjustment, correction of pairing, and pairing of sex chromosomes. In the next section, chiasmatic and achiasmatic modes of meiosis are compared with respect to the SC formation. In the chiasmatic mode, the SCs display recombination nodules that are believed to mediate the process of recombination. These nodules were discovered in insects, and indirect evidence for their role comes from insects. Two different examples of achiasmatic meiosis, occurring in the heterogametic sex of several insect orders, are given: one involves the SC formation, whereas in the other, SCs are absent. Finally, the potential of SC karyotyping for analysis of the insect genome is discussed.     

Synaptonemal complex karyotype of zebrafish

Meiotic cells of zebrafish have been prepared to show synaptonemal complexes (SCs) by light and electron microscopy. Completely paired SCs from both spermatocytes and oocytes were measured to produce an SC karyotype. The SC karyotype resembles the somatic karyotype of zebrafish and has no recognisable sex bivalent. Measurements of total SC length indicate that SCs grow longer and develop centromeres during pachytene. Oocytes consistently have longer SCs than spermatocytes, presumably correlated with the reported higher recombination frequency in females than in males.     

联会复合体:减数分裂的结构基础

减数分裂是有性生殖生物产生单倍体配子的特殊分裂方式,其第一次分裂(减数分裂I)过程中同源染色体的行为是最突出的特征。在减数分裂I,同源染色体间形成的联会复合体通过促进和调控程序性DNA双链断裂的形成和修复,确保同源染色体正确的识别、配对、重组和分离,从而为减数分裂I的顺利完成提供保障。本综述对联会复合体的组成和功能研究进展进行了回顾,探讨了联会复合体的组装如何影响程序性DNA双链断裂的修复和交叉互换的形成,并总结了与人类生殖障碍相关的联会复合体成分突变,还对该领域未来研究方向进行了展望。     

Synaptonemal complexes in vaccinated mice

Synaptonemal complexes of spermatocytes I obtained from C57BL/6j male mice treated with inactivated bacterial vaccines were spread over the hypotonic phase and then were investigated using light microscope. The slides of synaptonemal complexes of mice treated with cyclophosphamide were used as positive control. It is shown possible in principle to reveal synaptonemal complex abnormalities by means of light microscopy. These abnormalities were not more frequent in vaccinated animals than in intact ones. Cyclophosphamide at doses of 100-200 mg/kg induced synaptonemal complex damage practically in 100% of cells 96 hours after the injection.
