Mechanism of in vivo activation of the MutLgamma-Exo1 complex for meiotic crossover formation

ABSTRACT: Programmed DNA double-strand breaks (DSBs) initiate meiotic recombination and their subsequent repair culminates in crossover (CO) formation. COs result from the asymmetric cleavage of double-Holliday junction (dHJ) intermediates, that requires the MutLγ complex together with a non-catalytic function of Exo1, an activity essential for fertility but at risk of generating unwanted chromosome rearrangements. Here we show how crossover formation by MutLγ is activated at the right time and at the right place. MutLγ forms a constitutive complex with Exo1, and in meiotic cells transiently contacts the upstream MutSγ (Msh4-Msh5) heterodimer. MutLγ associates with DSB hotspots at a late step in the recombinational repair, once recombination intermediates have been stabilized and engaged in the crossover repair pathway. MutLγ-Exo1 is recruited to DSB hotspots independently of the polo-like Cdc5 kinase, but to activate dHJ resolution, Cdc5 is recruited to the recombination intermediates and interacts individually with both MutLγ and Exo1, suggesting their direct modification. in vivo, MutLγ occupancy is restrained on recombination intermediates, and genome-wide, MutLγ associates with the vast majority of DSB hotspots, but at a lower frequency in centromeres, consistent with a strategy to reduce at-risk crossover events in these regions, and in late replicating regions. Our data highlight the highly temporally and spatially control of the activity of this constitutive, potentially harmful, nuclease

Project description:Programmed DNA double-strand breaks (DSBs) initiate meiotic recombination and their subsequent repair culminates in crossover (CO) formation. COs result from the asymmetric cleavage of double-Holliday junction (dHJ) intermediates, that requires the MutLγ endonuclease and a non-catalytic function of Exo1, an activity essential for fertility but at risk of generating unwanted chromosome rearrangements.

Network rewiring of homologous recombination during mitotic proliferation and meiosis

Project description:Homologous recombination is essential for high-fidelity DNA repair during mitotic proliferation and meiosis. Yet, context-specific modifications must tailor the recombination machinery to avoid, or enforce, formation of reciprocal exchanges – crossovers – between recombining chromosomes. To obtain molecular insight into how crossover control is achieved, we affinity-purified the 7 DNA-processing enzymes with known roles in channelling HR intermediates into crossovers, or non-crossovers, from vegetative cells, or cells undergoing meiosis. Using mass spectrometry, we provide the first global characterization of their composition. The resulting mitosis- and meiosis-specific interaction maps reveal intricate changes in enzyme architecture and a concerted rewiring of the interaction networks to support flexible control to the recombination outcome. Moreover, functional analyses of 31 novel interactions uncovered 8 meiosis-specific network components that remodel HR to support crossing-over. Chd1, which transiently associates with Exo1 during meiosis, enables the formation of MutLγ-Exo1-dependent crossovers through its conserved ability to bind and displace nucleosomes.

Molecular structures and mechanisms of DNA break processing in mouse meiosis

Project description:Exonucleolytic resection is a critical step in repair of DNA double-strand breaks (DSBs) via homologous recombination, but resection mechanisms are not well understood, particularly in mammalian meiosis. Here, we use a genome-wide, nucleotide-resolution analysis to define the molecular structure of resected DSBs in mouse spermatocytes. Resection tracts averaged 1100 nucleotides on each side of a DSB, but with a broad distribution and substantial fine-scale heterogeneity at individual hotspots. Surprisingly, eliminating the nuclease activity of EXO1 only modestly decreased resection lengths, thus EXO1 is not the major 5′→3′ exonuclease in mouse meiosis. In contrast, the DSB-responsive kinase ATM proved to be a key regulator of both the initiation and extension of resection. In wild type, apparent intermolecular recombination intermediates clustered near to but offset from DSB positions, consistent with joint molecules with incompletely invaded 3′ ends. Finally, we provide evidence for PRDM9-dependent chromatin remodeling leading to increased accessibility at recombination sites. Our findings give insight into the mechanisms of DSB processing and repair in meiotic chromatin.

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.

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.

The conserved SUMO ligase Zip3 protein associates differentially with meiotic double-strand break sites and reveals regional variations in the outcome of meiotic recombination

Project description:In meiosis, an excess number of DNA double-strand breaks (DSBs), the initiating DNA lesion, is formed compared to the number of crossovers, one of their repair products that creates the physical links between homologs and allows their correct segregation. It is not known if all DSB hotspots are also crossover hotspots, or if the ratio between DSB and crossovers varies with the chromosomal location. Here, to systematically investigate variation in the DSB/crossover ratio, we have established the genome-wide map of the Zip3 protein binding sites in budding yeast meiosis. We show that Zip3 associates with DSB sites when these are engaged into repair by crossing over, and that Zip3 binding frequency at DSB reflects its tendency to be repaired as a crossover. We further show that the relative amount of Zip3 per DSB varies with the chromosomal location and identify chromosomal features associated with high or low Zip3 per DSB ratio. Among these is the negative regulation by proximity to a centromere and positive by the proximity to axis-associated sequences. This work opens interesting perspectives to understand the role of these extra DSB that are not frequently used for crossover and our findings may extend to mammals that have a large excess of DSB compared to crossovers.

Chromatin remodeler Fun30 promotes efficient DSB end resection and recombination during yeast meiosis

Project description:Resection, nucleolytic processing of DSB ends is necessary to generate 3' single-stranded DNA tails (ssDNA) for homologous recombination (HR). Meiotic recombination initiated by Spo11 induced double-strand breaks (DSBs) is essential for the accurate segregation of homologous chromosomes. After cleavage, Spo11 stays covalently linked to the DSB ends, which requires MRX/Sae2 incision on broken molecules to allow following Exo1-mediated resection. Exonuclease I activity is inhibited by nucleosome bound DNA in vitro. To ensure resection proceeds, resection machineries must overcome chromatin barrier. Here we show that in the absence of Fun30, an SNF2-like ATPase, resection tract lengths shortened, albeit less severe than exo1-nd (with more longer resection tracts than that in exo1nd), across all DSB hotspots, suggesting that Fun30 is required for meiotic resection. Additive resection defect in fun30Δ exo1-nd (nuclease dead) compared to exo1-nd mutant indicates that Fun30 regulates MRX/Sae2 nicking positions. We also observed extremely short resection tracts in the double mutants are mostly confined to NDR, suggesting initial nicking step is blocked by nucleosomes.

Mapping of Rec12 oligonucleotides in Schizosaccharomyces pombe

Project description:Meiotic recombination facilitates accurate pairing and faithful segregation of homologous chromosomes by forming physical connections (crossovers) between homologs. Developmentally programmed DNA double-strand breaks (DSBs) generated by Spo11 protein (Rec12 in fission yeast) initiate meiotic recombination. Until recently, attempts to address the basis of the highly non-random distribution of DSBs on a genome-wide scale have been limited to 0.1M-bM-^@M-^S1 kb resolution of DSB position. We have assessed individual DSB events across the Schizosaccharomyces pombe genome at near-nucleotide resolution by deep-sequencing the short oligonucleotides connected to Rec12 following DNA cleavage. The single oligonucleotide size-class generated by Rec12 allowed us to effectively analyze all break events. Our high-resolution DSB map shows that the influence of underlying nucleotide sequence and chromosomal architecture differs in multiple ways from that in budding yeast. Rec12 action is not strongly restricted to nucleosome-depleted regions but is nevertheless spatially biased with respect to chromatin structure. Furthermore, we find strong evidence across the genome for differential DSB repair previously predicted to account for crossover invariance (constant cM/kb in spite of DSB hotspots). Our genome-wide analyses demonstrate evolutionarily fluid factors contributing to crossover initiation and its regulation. Three samples total: one sample sequenced by 454 and two technical replicates (independent adaptor ligations from material purified from one culture) sequenced by SOLiD
