| description | The Shugoshin (SGO) protein family plays a major role in the protection of centromeric cohesion in Drosophila and yeast. This entry represents plant shugoshins, including SGO1 and SGO2 from Arabidopsis [, ]. SGO1 is required for the maintenance of centromeric cohesion of sister chromatids in meiosis I, but not through the control of AtSYN1/AtREC8 localisation. Together with SGO2, it is required for protection of centromeric cohesion during anaphase I []. However, SGO2 is dispensable for meiosis. In rice, OsSGO1 is also involved in the assembly and maintenance of the synaptonemal complex (SC) during early prophase I []. In maize, ZmSGO1 is required for maintenance of centromeric cohesion before prophase II and correct segregation of chromatids during meiosis II []. |
