== Function ==
[https://www.uniprot.org/uniprot/SYCP3_MOUSE SYCP3_MOUSE] Component of the synaptonemal complexes (SCS), formed between homologous chromosomes during meiotic prophase (PubMed:11311943, PubMed:22761579). Required for centromere pairing during meiosis in male germ cells (PubMed:22761579). Required for normal meiosis during spermatogenesis and male fertility (PubMed:10678170). Plays a lesser role in female fertility (PubMed:10678170, PubMed:12004129). Required for efficient phosphorylation of HORMAD1 and HORMAD2 (PubMed:22346761).<ref>PMID:10678170</ref> <ref>PMID:11311943</ref> <ref>PMID:12004129</ref> <ref>PMID:22346761</ref> <ref>PMID:22761579</ref>

== Publication Abstract from PubMed ==
The meiotic chromosome axis plays key roles in meiotic chromosome organization and recombination, yet the underlying protein components of this structure are highly diverged. Here, we show that 'axis core proteins' from budding yeast (Red1), mammals (SYCP2/SYCP3), and plants (ASY3/ASY4) are evolutionarily related and play equivalent roles in chromosome axis assembly. We first identify 'closure motifs' in each complex that recruit meiotic HORMADs, the master regulators of meiotic recombination. We next find that axis core proteins form homotetrameric (Red1) or heterotetrameric (SYCP2:SYCP3 and ASY3:ASY4) coiled-coil assemblies that further oligomerize into micron-length filaments. Thus, the meiotic chromosome axis core in fungi, mammals, and plants shares a common molecular architecture, and likely also plays conserved roles in meiotic chromosome axis assembly and recombination control.

A conserved filamentous assembly underlies the structure of the meiotic chromosome axis.,West AM, Rosenberg SC, Ur SN, Lehmer MK, Ye Q, Hagemann G, Caballero I, Uson I, MacQueen AJ, Herzog F, Corbett KD Elife. 2019 Jan 18;8. pii: 40372. doi: 10.7554/eLife.40372.
