ANKRD31 regulates spatiotemporal patterning of meiotic recombination initiation and ensures recombination between heterologous sex chromosomes in mice

ABSTRACT: Orderly segregation of chromosomes during meiosis requires that crossovers form between homologous chromosomes by recombination. Programmed DNA double-strand breaks (DSBs) initiate meiotic recombination. We identify ANKRD31 as a critical component of complexes of DSB-promoting proteins which assemble on meiotic chromosome axes. Genome-wide, ANKRD31 deficiency causes delayed recombination initiation. In addition, loss of ANKRD31 alters DSB distribution owing to reduced selectivity for sites that normally attract DSBs. Strikingly, ANKRD31 deficiency also abolishes uniquely high rates of recombination that normally characterize pseudoautosomal regions (PARs) of X and Y chromosomes. Consequently, sex chromosomes do not form crossovers leading to chromosome segregation failure in ANKRD31-deficient spermatocytes. These defects are accompanied by a genome-wide delay in assembling DSB-promoting proteins on axes and a loss of a pecialized PAR-axis domain that is highly enriched for DSB-promoting proteins. Thus, we propose a model for spatiotemporal patterning of recombination by ANKRD31-dependent control of axis-associated complexes of DSB-promoting proteins.

Seeding the meiotic DNA break machinery and initiating recombination on chromosome axes

Project description:Recombination-mediated linking of homologous chromosomes is a unique meiotic feature that enables the halving of chromosomal ploidy in sexual life cycles. Meiotic recombination is initiated by programmed DNA double-strand breaks (DSBs) that are generated by focal multi-protein clusters that condense onto chromosomal axes by poorly understood mechanisms. We discovered in mice that a DBF4-dependent kinase (DDK)–modulated interaction between IHO1 and the chromosomal axis component HORMAD1 effects the formation of axis-bound IHO1 platforms that enhance nucleation of cytologically distinguishable DSB-machinery clusters. This IHO1-HORMAD1-mediated seeding of the DSB-machinery ensures that sufficient DSBs form for efficient pairing of homologous chromosomes. In the absence of IHO1-HORMAD1 interaction, residual DSB activity depends on ANKRD31, which enhances both the seeding and the growth of DSB-machinery clusters. Thus, meiotic DSBs are ensured by complementing pathways that differentially effect seeding and growth of DSB-machinery clusters, and that synergistically enable assembly of the DSB machinery on chromosomal axes.

Recombination initiation maps of individual human genomes

Project description:DNA double-strand breaks (DSBs) are introduced in meiosis to initiate recombination and to generate crossovers, the reciprocal exchanges of genetic material between parental chromosomes. Here we present the first high-resolution map of meiotic DSBs in individual human genomes. Comparing DSB maps between individuals shows that along with DNA binding by PRDM9, additional factors dictate the efficiency of DSB formation. Furthermore, we find that in human males, the frequency of DSB formation is the primary determinant of crossover rate. Patterns of sequence polymorphisms around meiotic DSB hotspots provide evidence for both GC-biased gene conversion and for a mutagenic role of DSB repair and/or recombination. Finally, we provide compelling evidence that the aberrant repair of meiotic DSBs is a driver of human genomic disorders. Detection of meiotic double strand breaks in testis of several human male individuals.

Turning coldspots into hotspots: targeted recruitment of axis protein Hop1 stimulates meiotic recombination in Saccharomyces cerevisiae

Project description:The DNA double strand breaks (DSBs) that initiate meiotic recombination are formed in the context of the meiotic chromosome axis, which in budding yeast contains a meiosis-specific cohesin isoform and the meiosis-specific proteins Hop1 and Red1. Hop1 and Red are important for DSB formation; DSB levels are reduced in their absence and their levels, which vary along the lengths of chromosomes, are positively correlated with DSB levels. How axis protein levels influence DSB formation and recombination remains unclear. To address this question, we developed a novel approach that uses a bacterial ParB-parS partition system to recruit axis proteins at high levels to inserts at recombination coldspots where Hop1 and Red1 levels are normally low. Recruiting Hop1 markedly increased DSBs and homologous recombination at target loci, to levels equivalent to those observed at endogenous recombination hotspots. This local increase in DSBs did not require Red1 or the meiosis-specific cohesin component Rec8, indicating that, of the axis proteins, Hop1 is sufficient to promote DSB formation. However, while most crossovers at endogenous recombination hotspots are formed by the meiosis-specific MutLγ resolvase, only a small fraction of crossovers that formed at an insert locus required MutLγ, regardless of whether or not Hop1 was recruited to that locus. Thus, while local Hop1 levels determine local DSB levels, the recombination pathways that repair these breaks can be determined by other factors, raising the intriguing possibility that different recombination pathways operate in different parts of the genome.

Principles of chromosome organization for meiotic recombination

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.

Spo11-oligo mapping in zip3 mutants

Project description:Meiotic recombination promotes genetic diversification as well as pairing and segregation of homologous chromosomes, but the double-strand breaks (DSBs) that initiate recombination are dangerous lesions that can cause mutation or meiotic failure. How cells control DSBs to balance between beneficial and deleterious outcomes is not well understood. This study tests the hypothesis that DSB control involves a network of intersecting regulatory circuits. We show that DSBs form in greater numbers in Saccharomyces cerevisiae cells lacking ZMM proteins, a suite of recombination-promoting factors traditionally regarded as acting strictly downstream of DSB formation. This counterintuitive result suggests that homologous chromosomes that have successfully engaged one another stop making DSBs, and provides new insight into phenotypes of zmm and other recombination-defective mutants. A genetically distinct pathway ties DSB formation to meiotic progression through the Ndt80 transcription factor. High-resolution genome-wide DSB maps generated by sequencing short oligonucleotides covalently bound to Spo11 (Spo11 oligos) demonstrate that feedback tied to ZMM function contributes in unexpected ways to spatial patterning of the recombination landscape. Four samples total: two wild type and two zip3 mutant (each an independent culture)

Dna2 removes toxic RPA-ssDNA flaps generated from meiotic recombination-associated DNA synthesis

Project description:During the repair of DNA double-strand breaks (DSBs), de novo synthesized DNA strand can displace the parental strand to generate single-strand DNA (ssDNA) flaps. Many programmed DSBs and thus many ssDNA flaps occur during meiosis. However, how these flaps are removed remains enigmatic. Here, we show that meiosis-specific depletion of Dna2 (dna2-md) in Saccharomyces cerevisiae causes an abundant accumulation of RPA-ssDNA flaps and an expansion of RPA from DSBs to broader regions. As a result, DSB repair is defective and spores are inviable, although the levels of crossovers/non-crossovers seem to be unaffected. Furthermore, inducing Dna2 expression at pachytene is highly effective in removing accumulated RPA and restoring spore viability. Moreover, the depletion of Pif1, an activator of polymerase δ required for meiotic recombination-associated DNA synthesis, and Pif1 inhibitor Mlh2 decreased and increased RPA accumulation in dna2-md, respectively. Together, our findings show that meiotic DSB repair requires Dna2 to remove RPA-ssDNA flaps generated from meiotic recombination-associated DNA synthesis. Additionally, we showed that Dna2 also regulates DSB-independent RPA distribution.

Persistent DNA-break potential near telomeres increases initiation of meiotic recombination on short chromosomes

Project description:Faithful meiotic chromosome inheritance and fertility relies on the stimulation of meiotic crossover recombination by potentially genotoxic DNA double-strand breaks (DSBs). To avoid excessive damage, feedback mechanisms down-regulate DSBs on chromosomes that have successfully initiated crossover repair. In Saccharomyces cerevisiae, this regulation requires the removal of the conserved DSB-promoting protein Hop1/HORMAD during chromosome synapsis. Here, we identify privileged end-adjacent regions (EARs) spanning roughly 100 Kb near all telomeres that escape DSB downregulation. These regions retain Hop1 and continue to break in pachynema despite normal synaptonemal complex deposition. Differential retention of Hop1 requires the disassemblase Pch2/TRIP13, which preferentially removes Hop1 from telomere-distant sequences, and is modulated by the histone deacetylase Sir2 and the nucleoporin Nup2. Importantly, the uniform size of EARs among chromosomes contributes to disproportionately high DSB and repair signals on short chromosomes in pachynema, suggesting that EARs partially underlie the curiously high recombination rate of short chromosomes.

The histone variant H2A.Z promotes initiation of meiotic recombination (expression)

Project description:Meiotic homologous recombination is a critical DNA-templated event for sexually-reproducing organisms. It is initiated by a programmed formation of DNA double strand breaks (DSBs), mainly formed at recombination hotspots, and is, like all other DNA-related processes, under great influence of chromatin structure. For example, local chromatin around hotspots directly impacts DSB formation. In addition, DSB is proposed to occur in a higher-order chromatin architecture termed “axis-loop”, in which many loops protrude from proteinaceous axis. Despite many recent insightful studies, still much remains unknown about how meiotic DSBs are generated in chromatin structure. Here, we show that the highly conserved histone H2A variant H2A.Z promotes meiotic DSB formation in fission yeast. Subsequent investigation revealed that H2A.Z is neither enriched around hotspots nor axis sites, and that transcript levels of DSB-promoting factors were maintained in the absence of H2A.Z. Instead, we found that H2A.Z facilitates chromatin binding of various proteins required for DSB formation. Strikingly, artificial tethering of one of such proteins, Rec10, to chromatin partially restored DSB reduction in H2A.Z-lacking cells. Based on these, we conclude that fission yeast H2A.Z promotes initiation of meiotic recombination partly through delivering DSB-related proteins onto chromatin.
