Abstract

Hemen hemen tüm hayvan türlerinde, yumurta hücreleri embriyo oluşumunu desteklemek amacıyla somatik hücrelere kıyasla belirgin bir boyut farkı gösterir. Yumurtaların hızlı ve bol miktarda üretilmesi genellikle özel mekanizmalar gerektirir. Bu mekanizmalardan biri, çekirdek hacmi ve kromozomlarda transkripsiyon aktivitesi artışı ile karakterize edilen diploten arrestidir; bu süreçte, belirgin lamba fırçası kromozomları ortaya çıkar. Oldukça uzun yapıya sahip olan lamba fırçası kromozomları, çekirdekten izole edilmelerinin kolay olması nedeniyle en iyi amfibilerde ve kuşlarda incelenmiştir. Mart 2025’e kadar elektronik veri tabanları taranarak yapılan kapsamlı bilimsel literatür incelemesi, 31’i omurgasız ve 166’sı omurgalı olmak üzere toplamda 197 hayvan türünde lamba fırçası kromozomlarının varlığını ortaya koymuştur. Bu kromozomların böylesine geniş ve çeşitli hayvan türlerinde görülmesi, yumurta büyümesi için bu mekanizmanın eski bir evrimsel kökene sahip olduğunu düşündürmektedir.

Abstract

In virtually all animal species, egg cells exhibit a notable size disparity compared to somatic cells in order to support the production of an embryo. The rapid and voluminous production of eggs, often in abundance, necessitates specialized mechanisms. Among these mechanisms is diplotene arrest, a stage characterized by nuclear expansion and heightened chromosomal transcriptional activity, resulting in the formation of distinct lampbrush chromosomes. Remarkably long chromosomes, lampbrush chromosomes have been best studied in amphibians and birds due to their ease of isolation from the nucleus. A thorough review of scientific literature conducted until March 2025 across electronic databases unveiled the presence of lampbrush chromosomes in a total of 197 animal species, encompassing 31 invertebrates and 166 vertebrates. The widespread occurrence of lampbrush chromosomes across such a diverse array of animal species suggests an ancient evolutionary origin for this mechanism of egg growth.
