Rec8 ChIP-Seq experiment to analyse cohesin localisation in the Ctf19c mutants during meiotic prophase.

ABSTRACT: Ctf19c mutants were shown to specifically impair cohesin localisation at the pericentromere during mitosis. The goal of this experiment is to confirm whether this mutant has the same effect on cohesin localisation during meiotic prophase. To do so, diploid S. cerevisiae SK1 cells were constructed containing Rec8-3HA in an ndt80-d background. Cells were allowed to sporulate in sporulation media for 5 hours after which formaldehyde was added to the cultures and cells were fixed for 2hr. Samples were then processed according to the standard lab ChIP-Seq protocol (with 3 times 30cycles of 30sec of sonication) Diploid S. cerevisiae SK1 cells were constructed containing Rec8-3HA in an ndt80-d background.

Project description:Spo11-mediated DNA double strand breaks (DSBs) that initiate meiotic recombination are temporally and spatially controlled. The meiotic cohesin Rec8 has been implicated in regulating DSB formation, but little is known about the features of their interplay. To shed light on this point, we investigated the genome-wide localization of Spo11 in budding yeast during early meiosis by chromatin immunoprecipitation using high-density tiling arrays. We found that Spo11 is dynamically localized to meiotic chromosomes. Spo11 initially accumulated around centromeres and thereafter localized to arm regions as premeiotic S-phase proceeded. During this stage, a substantial proportion of Spo11 bound to Rec8 binding sites. Eventually, some of Spo11 further bound to both DSB and Rec8 sites. We also showed that such a change in a distribution of Spo11 is affected by hydroxyurea (HU) treatment. Interestingly, deletion of REC8 influences the localization of Spo11 to centromeres and in some of the intervals of the chromosomal arms. Thereby we observed a lack of DSB formation in a region-specific manner. These observations suggest that Rec8 would prearrange the distribution of Spo11 along chromosomes and will provide clues to understanding temporal and spatial regulation of DSB formation.

ChIP-chip analyses: In all cases, hybridization data for ChIP fraction was compared with WCE (whole cell extract) fraction. Saccharomyces cerevisiae affymetrix genome tiling array (SC3456a520015F for chromosome III, IV, V, VI and rikDACF for chromosome VI) were used. Mapping of DSB sites: DSB rich fraction was concentrated by ChIP of Spo11-FLAG in rad50S mutant without crosslinking. In the mutant, DSBs ramain unrepaired with covalently attached Spo11.Meiotic cells (at 7 hours in sporulation medium) were used for the analyses. â?¢ Quality control steps taken Confirmation of several loci by quantitative real time PCR. Southern blotting of several DSB sites.
