Chromosomes structure changes dramatically upon entering meiosis to ensure the successful progression of meiosis-specific events. During this process, a multilayer proteinaceous structure called synaptonemal complex (SC) is formed in many eukaryotes. Instead, in the fission yeastSchizosaccharomyces pombe, linear elements (LinEs), which are structures related to an axial element of SC, form on the meiotic cohesin-based chromosome axis and are required for the formation of DNA double-strand breaks. In contrast to the well-organized SC structure, LinE structure had been observed only by silver-stained electron micrographs or in immuno-fluorescence stained spread nuclei. Thus, their fine structure and dynamics in intact living cells remain to be elucidated. In this study, we performed live cell imaging with wide-field fluorescence microscopy as well as 3D structured illumination microscopy (3D-SIM) for the four components of LinE, the Rec10, Rec25, Rec27 and Mug20. We found that LinEs consist of threads formed along the chromosome axes during the meiotic prophase. Rec10 binds to the chromosome itself and shapes into LinEs only in the presence of all the other LinE components. Rec25, Rec27, and Mug20 attach to the chromosome in the presence of Rec10. LinEs are stable in a short-time treatment with 1,6-hexanediol; and fluorescence recovery after photobleaching (FRAP) experiment reveals slow recovery from photobleaching, indicating a stable property of LinEs.
