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.

Supplementary information

The protein REC8 also known as Meiotic Recombination Protein REC8 Homolog plays a mechanical role in the cohesion of sister chromatids during meiosis. This protein weighs approximately 60 kDa and is expressed mostly in germ cells during the prophase of meiosis I. REC8 is structurally related to the cohesin complex family and its primary mechanical function is to maintain the physical connection between sister chromatids ensuring accurate chromosomal segregation during meiosis.
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.

Defects in REC8 function show associations with infertility. Malfunctions in meiotic processes can lead to aneuploidies such as Down syndrome due to improper segregation of chromosomes. At the molecular level mutations or deficiencies in REC8 also connect to cohesinopathies like Cornelia de Lange syndrome where cohesion factor SMC3 could also play a part suggesting shared pathways or compensatory mechanisms related to chromosomal cohesion and segregation during meiosis.

Product protocols

Target data

Required during meiosis for separation of sister chromatids and homologous chromosomes. Proteolytic cleavage of REC8 on chromosome arms by separin during anaphase I allows for homologous chromosome separation in meiosis I and cleavage of REC8 on centromeres during anaphase II allows for sister chromatid separation in meiosis II (By similarity).
