Abstract
During meiotic prophase I, X and Y chromosomes in mammalian spermatocytes only stably pair at a small homologous region called the pseudoautosomal region (PAR). However, the rest of the sex chromosomes remain largely unsynapsed. The extensive asynapsis triggers transcriptional silencing - meiotic sex chromosome inactivation (MSCI). Along with MSCI, a special nuclear territory, sex body or XY body, forms. In the early steps of MSCI, DNA damage response (DDR) factors, such as BRCA1, ATR, and γH2AX, function as sensors and effectors of the silencing signals. Downstream canonical repressive histone modifications, including methylation, acetylation, ubiquitylation, and SUMOylation, are responsible for the transcriptional repression of the sex chromosomes. Nevertheless, mechanisms of the sex-body formation remain unclear. Liquid-liquid phase separation (LLPS) may drive the formation of several chromatin subcompartments, such as pericentric heterochromatin, nucleoli, inactive X chromosomes. Although several proteins involved in phase separation are found in the sex bodies, when and whether these proteins exert functions in the sex-body formation and MSCI is still unknown. Here, we reviewed recent publications on the mechanisms of MSCI and LLPS, pointed out the potential link between LLPS and the formation of sex bodies, and discussed its implications for future research.

Abstract
Xlr and Xmr are sex-specific genes which are expressed during the meiotic prophase I in the mouse. In spermatocytes, XMR concentrates on the asynapsed regions of the XY chromosomes, suggesting that XMR plays a role in sex chromosome condensation and silencing. The present study shows that in the mouse, XMR also concentrates in the nucleolus which is closely associated with the XY chromosome pair. In this species, the formation of a large fibrillo-granular nucleolus signals the activation of the ribosomal genes, but release of pre-ribosomal particles is inhibited. Using laser confocal microscopy we characterized the distribution of XMR in the XY body relative to the XY chromatin and the nucleolus. Immunoelectron microscopy showed that XMR concentrates in the fibrillo-granular component and the granular component (GC) of the nucleolus. In (T[X;16]16H) mouse spermatocytes, the nucleolus displays little or no activity and does not associate with the XY pair. XMR concentrated only on the XY chromosomes in (T[X;16]16H) mouse spermatocytes. These data suggest that XMR could play a role both in the XY pair and the nucleolus associated to the sex chromosomes.

Abstract
During the first meiotic prophase of mammalian spermatogenesis, the sex chromosomes X and Y show a characteristic allocyclic behavior with respect to the autosomes. This is particularly evident during pachytene stage when sex chromosomes form the so-called sex vesicle. This structure is characterized by the condensed state of chromatin, transcriptional inactivity, and the limited extension of chromosome pairing, which is usually restricted to a short segment of sex chromosome axial elements. The molecular basis and functional significance of sex vesicle formation during mammalian spermatogenesis remain obscure. Here we report on the identification of a meiosis-specific sex vesicle protein we called XY40. Immunocytochemical localization on rat testis cryosections with a XY40-specific monoclonal antibody revealed that the labeling is confined to the axial elements of sex chromosomes. Biochemical characterization showed that protein XY40 (40 kDa; pI 5.7-5.8) can be extracted from rat pachytene spermatocytes and recovered in particles of 9.5 S with a native molecular mass of approximately 152 kDa. We speculate that protein XY40 may be involved in the allocyclic behavior of sex chromosomes during male meiotic prophase.

Abstract
In addition to chromosomes and nucleoli, three structures, i.e., round body, coiled body, and nubecula, are encountered in the nucleus during the meiotic prophase in male rats. These structures have been examined by electron microscopy in random and serial sections. The round body is a finely fibrillar, proteinaceous structure closely associated with the granular component of a nucleolus in rat spermatocytes and young spermatids. A similar structure has been observed in man, the monkey Macaca mulatta, the gastropod Achatina fulica, and the insect Locusta migratoria. Together with evidence from the literature, these results support the view that the round body is of general occurrence in the male meiocytes of eukaryotes and may, therefore, play a role in meiosis. The coiled body is a group of electron-dense elements called "coils", which average 35 nm in width, except after mid-pachytene when their size almost doubles. The coils are composed of 2-nm-wide filaments and 8 to 10-nm-wide granules, both of which are ribonucleoprotein. The coiled bodies are interpreted to be groups of "spliceosomes", that is, structures containing heterogeneous RNA and small nuclear RNA. A remarkable feature of the coiled body is its temporary disappearance at early pachytene and its reappearance at late pachytene, possibly due to drastic changes in the turnover rate of its component RNAs. The nubecula is a newly identified nuclear inclusion, composed of weakly staining threads loosely organized into a 560 nm-wide spheroid. It has been observed only in early pachytene nuclei.

Abstract
The "round body," a spherical structure typically associated with a nucleolus in male germ cells of the rat, has been examined in the electron microscope using routine and cytochemical methods to determine its structure, composition, and mode of development. Cytochemical analysis indicates that the round body includes neither nucleic acid nor lipid, but is composed of nonhistone protein which appears in the form of 1.6-nm-wide fibrils. Development begins in late leptotene, when a single round body appears in each spermatocyte as an irregular spheroid located along the inner surface of the nuclear envelope. During subsequent stages of the meiotic prophase, the round body leaves the nuclear envelope, becomes a regular sphere, and gradually enlarges from a diameter of 0.4 micron in leptotene to 1.6 micron in diplotene. Concurrently, lacunae appear within its substance and enlarge. At each maturation division, the amount of round-body material is decreased by about half, presumably because the constituent proteins are dissociated at metaphase, distributed between the two daughter cells at telophase, and reconstituted into half-sized round bodies. As spermiogenesis proceeds, the round body shrinks gradually and disappears at step 8. Soon after its appearance at leptotene, the round body becomes associated with and is surrounded by the pars granulosa of one of the nucleoli. Moreover, 3H-uridine incorporation into nucleolar RNA is high as long as the size of the round body increases, but is low or absent when it decreases. It is possible, therefore, that the round body exerts some control on nucleolar activity in meiotic cells.

Abstract
Sex vesicle-nucleolus association was observed in 12% of zygotene and pachytene human spermatocytes using Giemsa and NOR-silver stained preparations. The silver-positive area of the nucleolus, corresponding to the nucleolus organizer (NOR), was usually close to the XY pair. C-banding frequently showed the terminal chromomere, formed by the condensed short arm of an acrocentric bivalent, attached to the sex vesicle. When a nucleolus produced by transcription of rDNA was connected to the short arm, it seemed to be secondarily associated with the sex vesicle. Non-transcribed ribosomal genes, which did not form a nucleolus, were revealed by in situ hybridization. Autoradiographs showed the rDNA-containing short arm of acrocentric bivalents associated with the sex vesicle in 18% of spermatocytes. The difference with the frequency of nucleolus-XY pair association was partially explained by the presence of inactive ribosomal genes. Moreover, electron microscopy showed that the dimensions of the newly formed nucleoli at early zygotene did not exceed 0.5 micron; they can be missed in light microscope investigations. From early zygotene to late pachytene, close relationships were observed between the sex vesicle chromatin and that of the associated acrocentric bivalent, especially in the short arm region. These relationships might explain the frequent involvement of acrocentrics in Y-autosome and X-autosome translocations occurring during male meiosis.

Abstract
Synaptonemal complexes (SCs), X and Y axes, and various nucleolar structures stain preferentially with silver in surface microspread preparations and are analyzable by both light and electron microscopy. Central elements, kinetochore region material and nuclear annuli which stain with ethanolic phosphotungstic acid are seldom visible after silver staining. SCs can be characterized by length measurements equally well in light and electron micrographs, from which stages of pachytene can also be determined by differentiation of the axes of the XY pair. By electron microscopy, the lateral elements appear as single strands at zygotene and early pachytene, then become double in a plane perpendicular to that of the SC and appear denser and thicker until late pachytene when they become progressively more attenuated and again appear single. These transitions are difficult to explain in terms of separation of associated chromatids. Identification of various silver stained bodies as nucleoli is supported by their orange-red fluorescence with acridine orange. SCs, X and Y axes and associated sex body material are, with a few exceptions, virtually indistinguishable from the background yellow-green fluorescence of the chromatin. Comet-shaped nucleolar bodies are regularly associated with five (in one animal) or six (in two animals) SCs; their positions along particular SCs identifiable by relative lengths indicate these bodies to be expressions of nucleolus organizer regions. They first appear at leptotene in association with unpaired axes and undergo progressive changes through late pachytene, at which time they redistribute their contents coincident with disappearance of the SCs. A characteristic nucleolar double dense body appears at zygotene; unlike the comet-shaped nucleoli, it is unassociated with other nuclear structures, and is assumed to arise from coalescence of previously existing smaller dense bodies. - The silver staining method described is remarkable for the speed and simplicity with which large numbers of spermatocyte nuclei are obtainable for light and electron microscopy. The fidelity of the light microscopic counterpart of the electrom microscopic image has been directly assessed at different stages of pachytene. For cytogenetic analysis, critical information often lies beyond the limits of light optical resolution; the correlated electron microscopy required for verification is easily obtained with this method.

Abstract
The X and Y chromosome axes have a distinctive morphology at pachytene and are clearly distinguishable from autosomal SCs. The X and Y are totally unpaired at late zygotene when most of the autosomes are synapsed; however, their attachment points at the presumptive SC end are closely apposed. The X and Y axes pair to form a length of SC that is somewhat shorter than the unpaired portion of the Y. Unpaired axes may appear thin and sometimes double, or may thicken to form fusiform bulges that are sometimes hollow: two on the X and one on the Y. Discrete differentiations, tentatively identified as kinetochores, are often visible at the proximal end of the SC on the Y axis, and also between the fusiform differentiations on the X axis. Additional differentiations, in the form of loops and densely staining granular excrescences form on the X axis and sometimes on the Y. A further differentiation appears as a cloud-like sheath around the distal end of the X axis, often in association with a bi-lobed dense body. At late pachytene, the XY-SC remains intact, but the unpaired X and Y axes develop side branches. Just before diplotene, while the autosomal SCs are still intact, the XY-SC is lost, although the axes persist and remain together at the attachment point of the SC. The X and Y differentiations form a logical temporal sequence when grouped according to progressive structural complexity. The morphological types may serve as markers for the sub-stages of pachytene.

Abstract
The transcriptional activity during meiotic prophase in the mouse testis is studied with light microscopy and high-resolution autoradiographic techniques using [(3)H]uridine as a labeled precursor. In the present study, two types of RNA synthesis are detected during meiotic prophase: an extranucleolar RNA synthesis of perichromosomal localization and a nucleolar RNA synthetic activity. In some of the autosomes and close to the basal knobs, the activity of the nucleolar organizers is evidenced by the incorporation of [(3)H]uridine into nucleolar masses from zygotene on and at earlier labeling times. The evolution of nucleoli and the formation of a nucleolus attached to the sex pair are described during the different meiotic stages. Perichromosomal labeling, from leptotene on, reaches a maximum during middle pachytene and falls progressively to a low level at longer incorporation times. Sertoli's cell, the most active RNA synthetic cell in the seminiferous epithelium, rises to a maximum of labeling and drops at earlier times compared with the meiotic prophase cells. The condensed sex chromosomes show some scattered silver grains especially at middle pachytene. The axial chromosome cores and synaptonemal complexes are devoid of silver grains during the meiotic prophase. The observations suggest that a control mechanism operates during meiotic prophase to regulate transcriptional activity in the sex chromosomes and to provide differential RNA synthesis in autosomal bivalents at various stages of prophase and within certain segments of the chromosomes.

Abstract
Earlier reports indicated the presence of significant amounts of inorganic salts in the nucleus. In the present study the possibility that this might be related to the transcription process was tested on seminiferous epithelium of the adult mouse, using potassium pyroantimonate as a fixative. The results indicated that a correlation exists between the inorganic cations comprising the pyroantimonate-precipitable fraction and the RNA synthetic activity. During meiotic prophase an accumulation of cation-antimonate precipitates occurs dispersed through the middle pachytene nuclei, the stage in which RNA synthesis reaches a maximum. At other stages (zygotene to diplotene), where RNA synthesis falls to a low level, that pattern is not seen; cation-antimonate deposits are restricted to a few masses in areas apparently free of chromatin. The condensed sex chromosomes, the heterochromatin of the "basal knobs," the axial elements, and the synaptonemal complexes are devoid of antimonate deposits during the meiotic prophase. The Sertoli cells, active in RNA synthesis in both nucleoplasm and nucleolus, show cation-antimonate deposits at these sites. In the nucleoplasm some "patches" of precipitates appear coincident with clusters of interchromatin granules; in the nucleolus the inorganic cations are mainly located in the fibrillar and/or amorphous areas, whereas relatively few are shown by the granular component. The condensed chromatin bodies associated with the nucleolus were always free of antimonate precipitates. It is suggested that the observed sites of inorganic cation accumulation within the nucleus may at least partially indicate the presence of RNA polymerases, the activity of which is dependent on divalent cations.

Abstract
The spatial reconstruction of the XY pair of chromosomes from human spermatocytes has been made by the study of serial sections 1000 A in thickness. The sex pair during zygotene-pachytene forms a condensed mass of chromatin that has two filamentous, electron-opaque cores: the long and the short core. During early pachytene both cores have a common ending region, about 0.4-0.8 micro long. This common end is a synaptonemal complex, and each of the cores forms a lateral element of that complex. The cores become more convoluted during middle pachytene forming "ringlike bodies." Nucleoli from spermatocytes have three distinct regions: (a) granular; (b) dense fibrillar; and (c) clear intermediate. Occasional association of the XY pair and the heteropycnotic "basal knobs" results in apparent association of nucleoli and the sex pair in a minority of cells. The evidence presented is interpreted as a strong support of the hypothesis of homologous regions in the human XY pair.
