    Notes: Abstract The meiotic effects of several cell division cycle (cdc) mutations of Saccharomyces cerevisiae have been investigated by electron microscopy and by genetic and biochemical methods. Diploid strains homozygous for cdc mutations known to confer defects on vegetative DNA synthesis were subjected to restrictive conditions during meiosis. Electron microscopy revealed that all four mutants were conditionally arrested in meiosis after duplication of the spindle pole bodies but before spindle formation for the first meiotic division. None of these mutants became committed to recombination or contained synaptonemal complex at the meiotic arrest. — The mutants differed in their ability to undergo premeiotic DNA synthesis under restrictive conditions. Both cdc8 and cdc21, which are defective in the propagation of vegetative DNA synthesis, also failed to undergo premeiotic DNA synthesis. The arrest of these mutants at the stage before meiosis I spindle formation could be attributed to the failure of DNA synthesis because inhibition of synthesis by hydroxyurea also caused arrest at this stage. — Premeiotic DNA synthesis occurred before the arrest of cdc7, which is defective in the initiation of vegetative DNA synthesis, and of cdc2, which synthesizes vegetative DNA but does so defectively. The meiotic arrest of cdc7 homozygotes was partially reversible. Even if further semiconservative DNA replication was inhibited by the addition of hydroxyurea, released cells rapidly underwent commitment to recombination and formation of synaptonemal complexes. The cdc7 homozygote is therefore reversibly arrested in meiosis after DNA replication, whereas vegetative cultures have previously been shown to be defective only in the initiation of DNA synthesis.

    Notes: Summary Previously proposed mechanisms for Down syndrome (trisomy 21) have generally invoked a progressive increase in meiotic nondisjunction to explain maternal-age dependence, but models of this sort have failed to predict the observed patterns of marker segregation. Here we propose instead that age-dependent trisomy 21 results primarily from a mechanism that favors maturation and utilization of euploid oocytes in preference to the pre-existing aneuploid products of mitotic (premeiotic) nondisjunction. The increased utilization of aneuploid oocytes at later stages of maternal life would result from their increased proportion following many progressive cycles of selection against their maturation in earlier stages. Derivation of a quantitative model and evaluation of existing data indicate that the pattern of marker segregation associated with agedependent trisomy 21 supports the proposed mechanism.

    Notes: Summary The temperature sensitivity of sporulation in a well-characterized yeast strain lacking any known temperature sensitive genes has been investigated. Cytological observations by electron microscopy demonstrate that cells incubated in sporulation medium at a temperature inhibitory to sporulation became arrested in meiotic prophase. The stage of arrest was identified as pachytene by the presence of duplicated (but unseparated) spindle pole bodies and synaptonemal complex. Transfer of the arrested culture to lower temperature permitted resumption of meiosis and sporulation; transfer to vegetative medium resulted in reversion to mitotic division. Genetic analysis of cells that had reverted to mitosis revealed that commitment to intragenic recombination had occurred by the time of arrest. Prolonged incubation at the elevated temperature resulted in the enhancement of intragenic recombination above normal levels, suggesting that some aspect of recombination continued to occur during the pachytene arrest. Evidence is presented that DNA replication, although depressed overall in the arrested cultures, had occurred to completion in many arrested cells.

    Notes: Summary This report describes cytological features of meiosis in Saccharomyces cerevisiae prepared for electron microscopy by lysis of protoplasts or nuclei on an aqueous surface. Whereas the chromatin of cells lysed before or after meiotic prophase was widely dispersed, pachytene bivalents appeared as discrete, elongate masses of compact chromatin. These bivalents were of nearly uniform thickness; they ranged in length from about 0.6 μm to 4.0 μm, with a median of 1.6–1.8 μm. Enzymatic digestion of chromosomal DNA removed the chromatin to reveal the underlying synaptonemal complex. The lysis of partially purified nuclei was less disruptive and thereby revealed the regular association of the telomeres with fragments of the nuclear envelope. In tetraploid cells, pachytene lysates contained quadrivalents characterized by the close apposition of chromatin masses of similar length. One or more points of intimate association appear to represent sites of exchange between pairing partners. The departure of the diploid cells from pachytene was accompanied by the renewed association of spindle microtubules with the chromosomes shortly before the diplotene chromosomes decondensed. Later, the successive meiotic divisions were identified by the appearance of a single spindle for meiosis I and of two spindles for meiosis II.

    Notes: Summary Phase-contrast microcinematography of cultured HeLa cells reveals that cell separation is considerably delayed after telophase. During this period of delay, the daughter cells lose their rounded morphology and become flattened against the substrate, as occurs in interphase. After two or more hours, the cells again become rounded while the thin intercellular bridge connecting them begins to elongate. This active elongation involves the migration of thickenings (“waves”) along the bridge from the midbody at its center toward either cell. Later, waves occur only on one side of the midbody as this half of the bridge alone continues to elongate. The arrival of waves at the cells is accompanied not only by discrete increases of length in that half of the bridge, but also by blebbing activity in that cell. Rupture of the bridge finally occurs just adjacent to the cell receiving these latter waves. Electron microscopic examination of cells in post-telophase delay has demonstrated a bundle of microtubules passing into either cell from the midbody in the center of the intercellular bridge. These microtubules are of constant length during bridge elongation; the cells are simply forced distally along the surface of the microtubule bundle. The waves themselves are found to contain microtubules just as straight as those in the rest of the bridge, so it is concluded that the force apparently generated here consists of the longitudinal translation of material along the surfaces of the rigid microtubules. It is pointed out that these forces may operate in the earlier phases of mitosis and in other systems of microtubule-associated motility. We also discuss the possible roles of post-telophase delay and of active bridge elongation in the organization of normal tissues.

    Notes: The minimal length of contiguous homology required for successful completion of meiotic recombination was investigated by using heterologous insertions to delimit homologous segments of chromosome III in the yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae. Constructs created in vitro by insertion of selectable markers into the LEU2 locus were transplaced into haploid strains, which were then mated to create diploids containing pairs of insertion heterologies at various distances. Analysis of the meiotic products from these diploids revealed a gradient in the frequency of both reciprocal and nonreciprocal recombination declining monotonically from the 5′ end of LEU2. Both types of event were found to be restricted by the presence of the insertion heterologies. The spo 13 single division meiosis was exploited to develop a plating assay in which LEU2 diploid spores containing reciprocally recombinant strands derived from events occurring completely within the interval flanked by the insertion heterologies were selected by random spore methods. Reciprocal recombination frequencies measured with this assay decreased linearly with extent, extrapolating to a minimal homology requirement of 150-250 nucleotides. When homology was most severely restricted, unexpected flanking marker configurations among reciprocal recombinants within LEU2 demonstrated the occurrence of complex recombination events. In addition to detecting reciprocal recombinants, the system is capable of measuring the probability that a non-reciprocal recombination event will have one endpoint between the heterologous inserts and the other lying outside the interval. The minimal length of homology required for this aspect of recombination was found to be 25-60 nucleotides. © 1993 Wiley-Liss, Inc.
