CYP51 regulates the expression of the meiosis-specific cohesin subunits REC8 and STAG3. (A,B) RS21745 treatment decreased REC8 and STAG3 expression. Ovaries at 14.5 dpc were cultured with 10 μM RS21745 for 3 days in vitro. (A) Expression of the cohesin subunits following RS21745 treatment by qRT-PCR. All qRT-PCR values were normalized to β-actin and were expressed as a relative ratio to the control; the means±s.e.m. of 3 values are shown. (B) Expression of REC8 and STAG3 following RS21745 treatment by western blot GAPDH was used as internal reference. (C–F) Inhibition of CYP51 disturbed the distribution of both REC8 and STAG3 on the chromosomes. (C,E) In the control groups, REC8 and STAG3 expression was observed at high levels in zygotene oocytes. In the CYP51 inhibition groups, the cohesin signals were absent in zygotene cells. (D,F) The percentage of REC8-positive or STAG3-positive oocytes at the zygotene stage was recorded. Unidentified germ cells were not included in the analyses. Scale bars : 10 μm. The data are presented as the means±s.e.m. of 3–9 ovaries per group. Asterisk (*) denotes a statistically significant difference between the control and the treatment groups. ***p<0.001 (t-test).

Biological function summary
Sister chromatid cohesion during meiosis depends heavily on REC8 which integrates into the cohesin protein complex. This complex consists of SMC1Β SMC3 and STAG3 playing an essential role in meiotic chromosome pairing and segregation. REC8 forms part of this cohesin structure specifically ensuring precise cleavage and separation of chromatids during the anaphase I stage of meiosis which contributes critical fidelity in chromosomal inheritance.
Pathways
REC8 influences the meiotic cell cycle and the associated recombination pathways. These pathways are highly regulated and critical for gametogenesis. Within the meiotic cell cycle pathway REC8 interacts closely with the protein RAD21 which holds key roles across various stages of the cell cycle. The well-orchestrated removal of cohesion by separase enzyme ensures successful homologous chromosome separation highlighting REC8's importance in these cellular processes.
