Fig. 4. The distribution of CENH3-interacting sequences, high-copy satellite repeats and retrotransposable elements in the genome of C. japonica.

Fig. 4

a The centromeric Chio1 and Chio2 satellite arrays coincide with the enriched sites of CENH3. The LTR transposable elements (TEs), including Ty3/gypsy and Ty1/copia TEs, show uniform distribution in the (peri)centromeric and intercentromeric regions. Chromosome 4 is taken as a representative chromosome. be FISH on mitotic C. japonica chromosomes with different repeats. b CjSat3 shows a clustered distribution, while (c) CjSat4 and (d) CjSat5 show dispersed and subtelomeric localization, respectively. e The 45S rDNA locates at one end of a chromosome pair. Chromosomes were counterstained with DAPI. Scale bar, 5 µm. be At least two independent experiments were carried out to confirm the reproducibility of the labeling patterns.
