Maintenance of meiotic crossover against reduced DSB formation in fission yeast lacking histone H2A.Z


ABSTRACT: Meiotic crossover (CO) recombination is a process in which programmed DNA double-strand breaks (DSBs) around hotspots are repaired by homologous chromosomes (homologs), and thus exchanges DNA molecules between two homologs. CO is critical for most sexually-reproducing organisms because it promotes accurate chromosome segregation and creates genetic diversity. Therefore, faithful accomplishment of CO formation must be ensured, but the bases of the regulation are not fully understood. Our previous study using fission yeast has revealed that mutants lacking the conserved histone H2A.Z are defective in DSB formation but maintain CO frequency at three loci tested. Here, we tested five additional sites to show that H2A.Z-lacking cells exhibit normal and increased CO frequency at two and three loci, respectively. Detailed interrogation on one of the intervals revealed that CO increase in the mutant would be genetically separable from DSB reduction, and regulated at least partly at the recombination intermediate level. In addition, through genetic analyses of model regions containing a hotspot flanked by two markers as well as genome-wide analyses, we propose that, in the absence of H2A.Z, CO arose from non-hotspot DSBs may compensate for DSB reduction at hotspots. These observations provide clues to further our understanding on CO control.
