Journal ArticleDOI

An abundance of X-linked genes expressed in spermatogonia

TL;DR: The findings indicate that the X chromosome has a predominant role in pre-meiotic stages of mammalian spermatogenesis, and hypothesize that theX chromosome acquired this prominent role in male germ-cell development as it evolved from an ordinary, unspecialized autosome.
Journal ArticleDOI

Nuclear m6A reader YTHDC1 regulates alternative polyadenylation and splicing during mouse oocyte development.

TL;DR: It is shown that the nuclear m6A reader YTHDC1 is essential for embryo viability and germline development in mouse and plays a critical role in processing of pre-mRNA transcripts in the oocyte nucleus.
Journal ArticleDOI

Mouse SYCP2 is required for synaptonemal complex assembly and chromosomal synapsis during male meiosis.

TL;DR: Strikingly, the mutant SYCP2 protein localizes to axial chromosomal cores in both spermatocytes and fetal oocytes, but SYCP3 does not, demonstrating that SY CP2 is a primary determinant of AEs/LEs and, thus, is required for the incorporation of SY CP3 into SCs.
Journal ArticleDOI

Hormad1 mutation disrupts synaptonemal complex formation, recombination, and chromosome segregation in mammalian meiosis.

TL;DR: Hormad1 deficiency abolishes γH2AX, ATR, and BRCA1 localization to the sex chromosomes and causes transcriptional de-repression on the X chromosome, and HORMAD1 is therefore a critical component of the synaptonemal complex that affects synapsis, recombination, and meiotic sex chromosome inactivation and transcriptional silencing.
Journal ArticleDOI

The RNA helicase MOV10L1 binds piRNA precursors to initiate piRNA processing

TL;DR: The results support a model in which MOV10L1 RNA helicase activity promotes unwinding and funneling of the single-stranded piRNA precursor transcripts to the endonuclease that catalyzes the first cleavage step of piRNA processing.
