The Transcribed 165-bp CentO Satellite Is the Major Functional Centromeric Element in the Wild Rice SpeciesOryza punctata

Abstract: Centromeres are required for faithful segregation of chromosomes in cell division. It is not clear what kind of sequences act as functional centromeres and how centromere sequences are organized in Oryza punctata, a BB genome species. In this study, we found that the CentO centromeric satellites in O. punctata share high homology with the CentO satellites in O. sativa. The O. punctata centromeres are characterized by megabase tandem arrays that are flanked by centromere-specific retrotransposons.Immunostaining… Show more

“…The map also demonstrates that the size difference between O. punctata and O. sativa is not evenly distributed over the chromosomes, possibly reflecting dynamics that have affected each chromosome differently over evolutionary time (Table 1). One possible explanation for the genome size difference is the report that O. punctata centromeres have $2.5 times more CentO satellite DNA and a wider distribution of centromeric retrotransposon of rice sequence than O. sativa (Zhang et al 2005). It warrants noting that our size estimate of the O. punctata genome may be an underestimate due to the presence of physical gaps between the contigs and the fact that the nuclear organizer region (Shishido et al 2000) on the tip of chromosome 9S was not included in the FPC map.…”

“…The anti-OsCenH3 antibody recognizes functional centromeric regions on chromosomes in rice somatic and meiotic cells (Nonomura et al, 2006). Rice 5S rDNA is located on the short arm of chromosome 11 (Zhang et al, 2005), and P0671B11 locates near the telomere of Chromosome 1. Combination of the use of these cytological markers is useful for monitoring chromosome pairing and separation.…”
