Meiotic crossing-over in lily and mouse
@article{Hotta1977MeioticCI, title={Meiotic crossing-over in lily and mouse}, author={Yasuo Hotta and Ann C. Chandley and Herbert Stern}, journal={Nature}, year={1977}, volume={269}, pages={240-242} }
CYTOLOGICAL descriptions of meiosis have long been a staple of biology textbooks, but a biochemical account of the process with a comparable claim to universality has been unavailable. We present here evidence for a common pattern of DNA metabolism in male meiotic cells of lilies and rodents during the zygotene–pachytene stages when crossing-over is presumed to occur. The prevalence of a common pattern between species that are as phylogenetically distant as lily and mouse has led us to conclude…

The absence of detectable pachytene synthesis in satellite DNA is consistent with genetic evidence on the absence of crossing-over in constitutive heterochromatin.

The results demonstrate that although some recombinants may be generated by nonhomologous chromosome (or chromatid) breakage and reunion, the predominant effect of T-007 is through an enhanced rate of normal mitotic exchange.
Satellite DNA and heterochromatin variants: The case for unequal mitotic crossing over
- BiologyHuman Genetics
- 2004
A variety of molecular and cytogenetic evidence supports the hypothesis that heteromorphisms result from unequal double-strand exchanges during mitotic DNA replication, and variations of constitutive heterochromatin may be useful as markers of exposure to mutagens and/or carcinogens.

In analyses using D-loop recombination intermediate substrates, it is found that both CcPolλ andCcPolμ could promote primer extension of an invading strand in a D- loop structure, suggesting that D- Loop extension is an activity intrinsic to Cc Polλ and C cPolμ.

The temporal segregation of metabolic activities concerned with pairing and crossing over and their operation in special chromosome regions constitute the most prominent features of the biochemical events associated with meiosis.

The DNA-binding protein in meiotic cells of Lilium has a very high binding affinity for single stranded DNA and also the unusual property of catalysing the renaturation of thermally denatured lily DNA at room temperature, which led to a more extensive study of its behaviour.

In microsporocytes of Lilium, a repair synthesis of about 0.1% of the nuclear DNA occurs at this stage, separate from the pre-meiotic S-phase synthesis, reflecting limited repair at the breakpoints of DNA molecules involved in crossing over.

It is concluded that recombination is probably a two-step process in rye, as has been proposed for Dorsophila melanogaster, and that the rye distributional mutant lines are probably analogous to the so-called pre-condition mutants of Drosophila, that is they are defective in the establishment of exchange positions.
