Figure 5. Increased H2A monoubiquitination in the XY body in Scml2-deficeint pachytene and diplotene spermatocytes.

Figure 5

Distribution of monoubiquitinated H2A (uH2A) in wild type (A) and Scml2 -/Y (B) prophase I spermatocytes were examined by immunostaining of spread nuclei with anti-SYCP3 (red) and anti-uH2A (green) antibodies. uH2A staining alone is shown in the bottom panels. The XY bodies are indicated by arrowheads and shown in the insets. Notably, uH2A localizes to and radiates from the synaptonemal complexes in wild type and Scml2 -/Y pachytene spermatocytes.
