What's a GeneRIF?

when ectopically expressed in somatic cells, can promote homologous chromosome adjacency, which resembles the homolog pairing normally seen during meiosis
Title: Ectopic expression of meiotic cohesin RAD21L promotes adjacency of homologous chromosomes in somatic cells.
Our genetic analysis demonstrates that cohesins containing STAG3 and REC8 are the main complex required for centromeric cohesion, and RAD21L cohesins are required for normal clustering of pericentromeric heterochromatin. Furthermore, the STAG3/REC8 and STAG3/RAD21L cohesins are the primary cohesins required for axis formation.
Title: Genetic Interactions Between the Meiosis-Specific Cohesin Components, STAG3, REC8, and RAD21L.
These results strongly support the previous proposition that RAD21L is an atypical cohesin that establishes the association between homologs rather than sister chromatids.
Title: Meiotic cohesin subunits RAD21L and REC8 are positioned at distinct regions between lateral elements and transverse filaments in the synaptonemal complex of mouse spermatocytes.
super resolution microscopy revealed synapsis-associated SYCP1 aberrantly deposited between sister chromatids and on single chromatids in Smc1b-/-Rad21L-/- cells.
Title: Distinct Roles of Meiosis-Specific Cohesin Complexes in Mammalian Spermatogenesis.
Disruption of meiosis-specific cohesin RAD21L precludes the initial association of homologs as well as the subsequent pairing in spermatocytes
Title: Meiosis-specific cohesin mediates homolog recognition in mouse spermatocytes.
RAD21L is identified as a novel subunit of the cohesin complex with homology to the RAD21/REC8/alpha-kleisin subfamily expressed in mouse testis.
Title: Identification and molecular characterization of the mammalian α-kleisin RAD21L.
These results provide in vivo evidence that RAD21L is essential for male fertility and in females for the maintenance of fertility during natural aging.
Title: The cohesin subunit RAD21L functions in meiotic synapsis and exhibits sexual dimorphism in fertility.
study identifes a new mammalian cohesin subunit, RAD21L, with sequence similarity to RAD21 and REC8; RAD21L localizes along axial elements in early meiotic prophase, in a manner that is spatiotemporally different to either REC8 or RAD21
Title: A new meiosis-specific cohesin complex implicated in the cohesin code for homologous pairing.
The results suggest that cohesin complexes containing RAD21L may be involved in synapsis initiation and crossover recombination between homologous chromosomes.
Title: RAD21L, a novel cohesin subunit implicated in linking homologous chromosomes in mammalian meiosis.

RefSeqs maintained independently of Annotated Genomes

These reference sequences exist independently of genome builds. Explain

These reference sequences are curated independently of the genome annotation cycle, so their versions may not match the RefSeq versions in the current genome build. Identify version mismatches by comparing the version of the RefSeq in this section to the one reported in Genomic regions, transcripts, and products above.
