The synaptonemal complex: does it have contractile proteins?

B Spyropoulos et al. Can J Genet Cytol. 1984 Dec.

Abstract

Actin and myosin are commonly involved in cell motility systems. This study attempts to identify these two proteins in the synaptonemal complex (SC), a nuclear organelle associated with chromosome pairing during meiotic prophase. The several experimental approaches reported here give no evidence of SC staining with either anti-myosin or anti-actin antibodies. These findings differ from those of other reportings.
