The Arabidopsis Hop1 homolog ASY1 mediates cross-over assurance and interference

Gaetan Pochon et al.

Summary: ASY1 plays a crucial role in meiotic recombination by regulating the number and placement of cross-overs (COs). COs in asy1 mutants are positioned closer to each other, but the reduction in CO number is not significant. These findings contribute to our understanding of the mechanisms behind CO assurance and CO interference during meiosis.

ZYP1-mediated recruitment of PCH2 to the synaptonemal complex remodels the chromosome axis leading to crossover restriction

Chao Yang et al.

Summary: The ASY1 remodeling complex is assembled differently in terms of timing and location. PCH2 and COMET interact in the cytoplasm during early meiosis, but PCH2 is recruited by ZYP1 and brought to the ASY1-bound COMET to ensure the timely removal of ASY1 during chromosome synapsis.

Crossover patterning in plants

Andrew Lloyd

Summary: Chromatin state, dynamic loading of pro-crossover protein HEI10, and genomic and epigenomic features play important roles in shaping meiotic chromosome patterning in plants. The regulation of crossover formation involves phenomena such as crossover interference, crossover homeostasis, and obligatory crossover. Recent studies implicate HEI10 and ZYP1 as key players in coordinating crossover regulation.

Joint control of meiotic crossover patterning by the synaptonemal complex and HEI10 dosage

Stephanie Durand et al.

Summary: This study proposes a model for crossover patterning, suggesting that the diffusion of HEI10 along the synaptonemal complex leads to a coarsening process that creates well-spaced crossover-promoting foci. The findings support this model and provide insight into the mechanistic basis of crossover control during meiosis.

The synaptonemal complex imposes crossover interference and heterochiasmy in Arabidopsis

Laia Capilla-Perez et al.

Summary: The spatial organization of transverse filaments is essential for CO formation during meiosis, with the absence of ZYP1 leading to an unexpected increase in CO formation. The tripartite synaptonemal complex plays a key role in regulating the number and distribution of COs, affecting CO interference and heterochiasmy.

Let's get physical - mechanisms of crossover interference

Lexy von Diezmann et al.

Summary: Crossover interference is a crucial process in sexual reproduction, but the molecular mechanisms behind it are still debated. Recent research has shed light on how signaling proteins regulate the formation of crossovers, providing new insights into this complex process. These findings contribute to a better understanding of how crossover interference is implemented in meiotic chromosomes.

Diffusion-mediated HEI10 coarsening can explain meiotic crossover positioning in Arabidopsis

Chris Morgan et al.

Summary: Through quantitative super-resolution cytogenetics and mathematical modeling, this study investigated crossover positioning in Arabidopsis thaliana and found that the process can be explained by a predictive coarsening model. Altering the dosage of the E3 ligase HEI10 was shown to predictably modify crossover interference, suggesting a conserved mechanism may regulate crossover positioning in diverse eukaryotes.
