Figure 1. The conserved rapid chromosome movement during meiotic prophase I. During meiosis, telomeres (or pairing center in worm) are tethered to the NE and assemble the transmembrane LINC complex to the association sites. LINC complex, associating with cytoskeletal motors, facilitates the rapid chromosome movements along the NE (leptotene to zygotene), accompanying transient bouquet configuration of meiotic chromosomes (bouquet). Then, chromosome acquires the homolog association (pachytene).
