Two pathways drive meiotic chromosome axis assembly in Saccharomyces cerevisiae

ABSTRACT: Successful meiotic recombination, and thus fertility, depends on conserved axis proteins that organize chromosomes into arrays of anchored chromatin loops and provide a protected environment for DNA exchange. Here, we show that the stereotypic chromosomal distribution of axis proteins in S. cerevisiae is the additive result of two independent pathways: a cohesin-dependent pathway, which was previously identified and mediates focal enrichment of axis proteins at gene ends, and a parallel cohesin-independent pathway that recruits axis proteins to broad genomic islands with high gene density. These islands exhibit elevated markers of crossover recombination as well as increased nucleosome density, which we show is a direct consequence of the underlying DNA sequence. A predicted PHD domain in the center of the axis factor Hop1 specifically mediates cohesin-independent axis recruitment. Intriguingly, other chromosome organizers, including cohesin, condensin, and topoisomerases, are differentially depleted from the same regions even in non-meiotic cells, indicating that these DNA sequence-defined chromatin islands exert a general influence on the patterning of chromosome structure.

Chromatin binding by HORMAD proteins regulates meiotic recombination initiation

Project description:The meiotic chromosome axis coordinates chromosome organization and interhomolog recombination in meiotic prophase, and is essential for fertility. In S. cerevisiae, the HORMAD protein Hop1 mediates an enrichment of axis proteins at nucleosome-rich genomic islands through a central chromatin-binding region (CBR). Here, we use cryoelectron microscopy to show that the Hop1 CBR directly recognizes bent nucleosomal DNA through a composite interface in its PHD and winged helix-turn-helix domains. Targeted disruption of the Hop1 CBR-nucleosome interface causes a loss of axis-protein enrichment at nucleosome-rich genomic islands, reduces meiotic DNA double-strand breaks (DSBs), and causes defects in chromosome synapsis. Synthetic effects with the disassemblase Pch2 suggest that nucleosome binding delays a conformational switch in Hop1 from a DSB-promoting, Pch2-inaccessible state to a DSB-inactive, Pch2-accessible state to regulate the extent of meiotic DSB formation . Phylogenetic analyses of meiotic HORMADs reveal an ancient origin of this domain, suggesting that these mechanisms are broadly conserved.

Transcription Dynamically Patterns the Meiotic Chromosome-Axis Interface [ChIP-Seq]

Project description:Meiotic chromosomes are highly compacted yet remain transcriptionally active. To understand how chromosome folding accommodates transcription, we investigated the assembly of the axial element, the proteinaceous structure that compacts meiotic chromosomes and promotes recombination and fertility. We found that the axial-element proteins of budding yeast are flexibly anchored to chromatin by the ring-like cohesin complex and biased towards small chromosomes by a separate modulating mechanism that requires the conserved axial element component Hop1. The ubiquitous presence of cohesin at sites of convergent transcription provides well-dispersed points for axis attachment and thus compaction. Axis protein enrichment at these sites directly correlates with the propensity for recombination initiation nearby. Importantly, axis anchoring by cohesin is adjustable and readily displaced in the direction of transcription by the transcriptional machinery. We propose that such robust but flexible tethering allows the highly structured axial element to promote recombination while easily adapting to changes in chromosome activity. ChIP-seq experiments were undertaken to understand the features of meiotic chromosomal axes assembly in meiosis. The genome-wide distribution of axis proteins including Hop1, Red1 as well as cohesin subunits Rec8 and Smc3 were measured. Axis protein binding pattern is also measured in rec8 mutant and pREC8-SCC1 in rec8 mutant.

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.

Transcription Dynamically Patterns the Meiotic Chromosome-Axis Interface [ChIP-chip]

Importantly, axis anchoring by cohesin is adjustable and readily displaced in the direction of transcription by the transcriptional machinery. We propose that such robust but flexible tethering allows the highly structured axial element to promote recombination while easily adapting to changes in chromosome activity. Two types of study were undertaken to understand the meiotic chromosomal axes assembly and its importance in DSB regulation in yeast. First, DSBs were mapped using ssDNA enrichment in strains isogenic for a dmc1 mutation, and also including rec8 deletion and pREC8-SCC1 in rec8 deletion. Second, the genome-wide distribution of meiotic or mitotic cohesin in meiosis was measured by ChIP-chip analysis in wild-type and pREC8-SCC1 in rec8 deletion.

Spo11-oligo mapping in S. cerevisiae red1, hop1, mek1 mutants

Project description:Meiotic recombination starts with the formation of DNA double-strand breaks (DSBs) made by Spo11. In Saccharomyces cerevisiae, the nonrandom distribution of meiotic DSBs along the genome can be attributed to the combined influence of multiple factors on Spo11 cleavage. One factor is higher-order chromatin structure, particularly the loop-axis organization of meiotic chromosomes. Axial element proteins Red1 and Hop1 provide the basis for meiotic loop-axis organization and are implicated in diverse aspects of meiotic recombination. Mek1 is a meiotic-specific kinase associated with Red1 and Hop1. Red1, Hop1, and Mek1 are required for normal DSB levels, but their effects on the DSB distribution has not been examined, and exactly how these proteins influence DSB levels and distribution is unknown. Here, we examined the contributions of Red1, Hop1, and Mek1 to the DSB distribution by deep sequencing and mapping Spo11-associated oligonucleotides from red1, hop1, and mek1 mutant strains, thereby generating genome-wide meiotic DSB maps.

Genome wide map of DMC1 in testis of Stag3-/-, Rec8-/- and Stag3-/-Rec8-/- mice.

Project description:During mouse meiosis, DNA double-strand breaks (DSBs) are initiated by SPO11 at recombination hotspots (HSs), activated by PRDM9. Although activated HSs are marked by H3K4me3 and H3K36me3 histone modifications at open chromatin, most of the DSB-initiating and repair proteins are associated with the chromosome axis. This study addresses the mechanistic importance of the axis-associated cohesin proteins in DSB formation. We demonstrate that interactions between PRDM9 and the meiotic axis proteins STAG3 and REC8 are essential for efficient DSB formation. The absence of STAG3 or REC8 leads to inefficient meiotic DSB formation at HSs. STAG3 is critical for DSB formation, even at PRDM9-independent DSB-sites. Also, STAG3 and REC8 facilitate recruitment of the DSB-promoting proteins HORMAD1, IHO1 and MEI4 required for SPO11 activity. Together, these results support an evolutionarily conserved model in which axis-associated cohesin complexes recruit recombination-initiating proteins to DSB sites to promote meiotic recombination initiation.
