Meiotic cohesin SMC1β provides prophase I centromeric cohesion and is required for multiple synapsis-associated functions.

Meiotic cohesin SMC1β provides prophase I centromeric cohesion and is required for multiple synapsis-associated functions.

Cohesin subunit SMC1β is specific and essential for meiosis. Previous studies showed functions of SMC1β in determining the axis-loop structure of synaptonemal complexes (SCs), in providing sister chromatid cohesion (SCC) in metaphase I and thereafter, in protecting telomere structure, and in synapsi...
