TEX11 is mutated in infertile men with azoospermia and regulates genome-wide recombination rates in mouse
EMBO Mol Med 7, 1198 (2015)
Supplementary Information
Includes:
- Supplementary Figure 1. Alignment of TEX11 protein sequences. Multiple sequence alignment was performed using CLUSTAL 2.0.9.Red font marks residues affected by the five TEX11missense mutations identified ininfertile men.
- Supplementary Figure 2. Analysis of chromosomal synapsis in spermatocytes from 25-day-old wild type and Tex11KI(WT);-Y mice. Surface spread nuclei from spermatocytes were immunostained with anti-SYCP1 and anti-SYCP2 antibodies. Representative imagesof spermatocytes at the pachytene stageare shown. XY chromosomes are indicated. This supplementary figure is related to Figure 3B.
- Supplementary Figure 3. Number of MLH1 foci in spermatocytes from 3-month-old males. Representative images are shown for the following Tex11genotypes:A) -/Y, 17 MLH1 foci; B) KI;-/Y, 21 MLH1 foci; C) +/Y, 22 MLH1 foci; D) KI;+/Y, 26 MLH1 foci. This supplementary figure is related to Figure 4A.
- Supplementary Figure 4. Analysis of chromosomal synapsis in spermatocytes from 3-month-old male mice. Surface spread nuclei from spermatocytes were immunostained with anti-SYCP1 and anti-SYCP2 antibodies. XY chromosomes are indicated(A-C). Representative images are shown for the following Tex11KI/KO (KI;-/Y) genotypes: A) wt; B) W118R; C) Q173R; D) KIV749A. The spermatocyte (D) displayed extensive chromosomal asynapsis. This supplementary figure is related to Figure 6E.
- Supplementary Figure 5. Testicular maturation arrest in an infertile malepatient with V748A mutation in TEX11(WHT2499).Testicular tissue wasobtained by biopsy,sectioned,and stained with hematoxylin/eosin. The biopsy sample shows absence of post-meiotic germ cells such as round spermatids in the seminiferous tubule, whereas meiotic stage spermatocytes such as at the pachytene stage (arrows) are present. The boxed tubule in panel A is enlarged in panel B. Scalebar, 50 µm.
