摘要: Summary The Mre11 complex (consisting of MRE11, RAD50, and NBS1/Xrs2) is required for double-strand break (DSB) formation, processing, checkpoint signaling during meiotic cell division in S. cerevisiae [1–8]. Whereas studies mutants pombe A. thaliana indicate that the has other essential roles [9–11], relatively little known regarding functions downstream formation processing or its role meiosis higher eukaryotes. We analyzed events mice harboring hypomorphic Nbs1 mutations which, unlike null mutants, support viability [12–16]. Our revealed defects temporal progression prophase, incomplete aberrant synapsis homologous chromosomes, persistence strand exchange proteins, alterations in both frequency placement MLH1 foci, a marker crossovers. A unique sex-dependent effect on foci chiasmata numbers was observed: males exhibited an increase females a decrease recombination levels. Thus, our findings implicate DNA repair mammals may contribute to establishment normal sex-specific differences meiosis.
