Project description:Temperature is key for biological activities, but its role in meiotic recombination processes is less known. Here, we uncovered the patterns of meiotic recombination by monitoring the genotypes of diploid strain JSC22-1-derived spores formed at 14ºC, 30ºC, and 37ºC. These spores were analyzed by whole genome SNP microarray that can examine about 13,000 SNPs distinguishing W303-1A and YJM789 sequences throughout the genome.

Project description:Meiotic recombination differs between males and females, however, when and how these differences are established is unknown. We identify extensive sex differences at recombination initiation by mapping hotspots of meiotic DNA double strand breaks in male and female mice. Contrary to past findings in humans, few hotspots are used uniquely in either sex. Instead, grossly different recombination landscapes result from up to 15-fold differences in hotspot use between males and females. Indeed, most recombination occurs at sex-biased hotspots. Sex biased hotspots appear to be partly determined by chromosome structure, and DNA methylation, absent in females at the onset of meiosis, plays a substantial role. Sex differences are also evident later in meiosis as the repair frequency of distal meiotic breaks as crossovers diverges in males and females. Suppression of distal crossovers may help to minimize age-related aneuploidy that arises due to cohesion loss during dictyate arrest in females.

Project description:Several protein ensembles facilitate meiotic crossover recombination and the associated process of synaptonemal complex (SC) assembly during meiosis. We have employed proximity labeling as a phenotyping tool to investigate functional requirements for spatial relationships between meiotic recombination and SC proteins in S. cerevisiae, and to gain deeper insight into the molecular deficits of crossover-deficient meiotic mutants. We find that recombination initiation and synaptonemal complex structures are dispensable for proximity labeling of the Zip3 E3 ligase by components of the ZZS ensemble (Zip2, Zip4 and Spo16) but enzymes associated with early steps in recombination are required for Zip3 proximity labeling by MutSg, consistent with the possibility that MutSg joins Zip3 only after a specific recombination intermediate has been generated. Proximity labeling furthermore suggests that a key defect of crossover-defective, SC-proficient zip1 separation-of-function mutants is a failure to assemble an early recombination ensemble where MutSg can properly engage Zip3. We also find that the SC structural protein Ecm11 is proximity labeled by ZZS proteins in a Zip4-dependent and Zip1-independent manner, but by Zip3 and Msh4 at least in part via a distinct pathway that relies on Zip1. Finally, streptavidin pulldown followed by mass spectrometry on eleven proximity labeling strains uncovered shared proximity targets of SC and crossover-associated proteins, some of which have not yet been implicated in meiotic recombination or SC formation highlighting the potential of proximity labeling as a discovery tool.

Project description:Principles of chromosome organization for meiotic recombination
| PRJNA1091364 | ENA
Project description:In meiotic cells, chromosomes are organized as chromatin loop arrays anchored to a protein axis. This organization is essential to regulate meiotic recombination, from DNA double-strand break (DSB) formation to their repair. In mammals, it is unknown how chromatin loops are organized along the genome and how proteins participating in DSB formation are tethered to the chromosome axes. Here, we identified three categories of axis-associated genomic sites: PRDM9 binding sites, where DSBs form, binding sites of the insulator protein CTCF, and H3K4me3-enriched sites. We demonstrated that PRDM9 promotes the recruitment of MEI4 and IHO1, two proteins essential for DSB formation. In turn, IHO1 anchors DSB sites to the axis components HORMAD1 and SYCP3. We discovered that IHO1, HORMAD1 and SYCP3 are associated at the DSB ends during DSB repair. Our results highlight how interactions of proteins with specific genomic elements shape the meiotic chromosome organization for recombination.

Project description:Genetic recombination generates novel trait combinations, and understanding how recombination is distributed across the genome is key to modern genetics. The PRDM9 protein defines recombination hotspots; however, megabase-scale recombination patterning is independent of PRDM9. The single round of DNA replication, which precedes recombination in meiosis, may establish these patterns; therefore, we devised an approach to study meiotic replication that includes robust and sensitive mapping of replication origins. We find that meiotic DNA replication is distinct; reduced origin firing slows replication in meiosis, and a distinctive replication pattern in human males underlies the subtelomeric increase in recombination. We detected a robust correlation between replication and both contemporary and historical recombination and found that replication origin density coupled with chromosome size determines the recombination potential of individual chromosomes. Our findings and methods have implications for understanding the mechanisms underlying DNA replication, genetic recombination, and the landscape of mammalian germline variation.

Project description:Meiotic recombination hotspots are associated with histone post-translational modifications and open chromatin. However, it remains unclear how histone modifications and chromatin structure directly regulate meiotic recombination. Here, we identify acetylation of histone H4 at Lys44 (H4K44ac) as a new histone modification, occurring on the nucleosomal lateral surface. We show that H4K44ac is specific to yeast sporulation, rising during yeast meiosis and displaying genome-wide enrichment at recombination hotspots in meiosis. The H4K44 residue is required for normal meiotic recombination, for normal levels of double strand breaks during meiosis, and for optimal sporulation. Non-modifiable substitution H4K44R results in reduced MNase digestion and decreased binding of recombination-associated proteins at hotspots. Our results show that H4K44ac creates an accessible chromatin environment for key proteins to facilitate meiotic recombination.

Project description:Meiotic recombination is initiated by the Spo11 endonuclease, which directs DNA double strand breaks at discrete regions in the genome coined hotspots. Here we report the profiles and dynamics of histone modifications at the cores of mouse recombination hotspots in early meiotic prophase. To define the spectrum of possible regulators of histone methylation and acetylation at all stages of meiosis I, expression analyses of histone acetylases/deacetylases (HATs/HDACs) and and HMTs/HDMTs genes when comparing those expressed in spermatogonia, pre-leptotene and leptotene/zygotene versus pachytene meiotic stages.
