Crossover patterning through kinase-regulated condensation and coarsening of recombination nodules

Show abstract
Meiotic recombination is highly regulated to ensure precise segregation of homologous chromosomes. Evidence from diverse organisms indicates that the synaptonemal complex (SC), which assembles between paired chromosomes, plays essential roles in crossover formation and patterning. Several additional "pro-crossover" proteins are also required for recombination intermediates to become crossovers. These typically form multiple foci or recombination nodules along SCs, and later accumulate at fewer, widely spaced sites. Here we report that in C. elegans CDK-2 is required to stabilize all crossover intermediates and stabilizes interactions among pro-crossover factors by phosphorylating MSH-5. Additionally, we show that the conserved RING domain proteins ZHP-3/4 diffuse along the SC and remain dynamic following their accumulation at recombination sites. Based on these and previous findings we propose a model in which recombination nodules arise through spatially restricted biomolecular condensation and then undergo a regulated coarsening process, resulting in crossover interference.

"Similar papers" are the closest papers from that journal in the model's embedding space. They show what the match is built on, but the ranking comes mostly from a classifier over the whole training set, not from these examples alone.
