摘要

Fission yeast Mei2p is an RNA-binding protein essential for induction of both premeiotic DNA synthesis and first meiotic division. Mei2p forms a dot structure at an apparently fixed position in the horse-tail nucleus during meiotic prophase. This dot formation requires a meiosis-specific RNA species, meiRNA, which is indispensable for meiosis I, and the emergence of the dot is an indicator of the ability of the cell to perform meiosis I. Herein, we have sought the identity of this dot. Analyses using chromosome segregation in haploid meiosis, reciprocal translocation of chromosomes, and gene translocation have led us to conclude that the Mei2p dot is in association with the sme2 gene on the short arm of chromosome II, which encodes meiRNA. Transcripts of sme2 , rather than the DNA sequence of the gene, seem to be the determinant of the localization of the Mei2p dot. However, evidence suggests that the dot may not be a simple reflection of the attachment of Mei2p to meiRNA undergoing transcription. We speculate that the Mei2p dot is a specialized structure, either to foster the assembly of Mei2p and meiRNA or to perform some unidentified function indispensable for meiosis I.
