Meiotic reductional division is dependent on the synaptonemal complex (SC), a supramolecular protein assembly that mediates homologous chromosomes synapsis and promotes crossover formation. The mammalian SC is formed of eight structural components, including SYCE1, the only central element protein with known causative mutations in human infertility. We combine mouse genetics, cellular and biochemical studies to reveal that SYCE1 undergoes multivalent interactions with SC co...
