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. 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 axial element to promote recombination while easily adapting to changes in chromosome activity. 7 genome wide meiotic ChIP-seq sets: V5-Red1 DNA interaction (V5-Red1-ChIP), V5-Red1 DNA interaction in the absence of axis protein Hop1 (V5-Red1-ChIP, hop1delta), V5-Red1 DNA interaction in the absence of another two axis proteins Hop1 and Rec8 (V5-Red1-ChIP, hop1delta rec8delta), Rec8-HA DNA interaction (Rec8-HA-ChIP), Rec8-HA DNA interactionin the absence of Red1 (Rec8-HA-ChIP, red1delta), and 2 untagged control (V5-untagged-ChIP, HA-untagged-ChIP) (corresponding to the main Figure5)

Project description:Crossover recombination is a hallmark of meiosis, which holds the paternal and maternal chromosomes (homologs) together for their faithful separation, meanwhile, it promotes genetic diversity of progenies. The pattern of crossover is mainly controlled by the architecture of meiotic chromosomes. Environmental factors, especially temperature, also play an important role in modulating crossovers. However, it is unclear how temperature affects crossovers. Here, we examined the distributions of budding yeast axis components (Red1, Hop1, and Rec8) and the CO-associated Zip3 foci in detail in different temperatures, and found that both increased and decreased temperatures result in shorter meiotic chromosome axes and more crossovers. Further investigations showed that altered temperature coordinately enhanced the hyperabundant accumulation of Hop1 and Red1 on chromosomes and the number of Zip3 foci. Most importantly, temperature-induced alterations in axis distribution and Zip3 foci depend on the changes in DNA negative supercoil. These findings suggest that yeast meiosis senses temperature changes by increasing the level of negative supercoil to increase crossovers and modulate chromosome organization. These findings provide a novel view in understanding the effect and mechanism of temperature on meiosis recombination and chromosome organization, and thus also have an important implication in evolution and breeding.

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.

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.

Project description:Mcm2-7 ChIP in pre-meiotic and pre-mitotic cells, axis factor ChIP in wild-type and replication compromised strains in meiosis Multiple studies of meiotic chromosomes were undertaken. To study DNA replication, the locations of replicative helicase (Mcm2-7) were mapped in pre-meiotic and pre-mitotic cells, and DNA replication profiles were created for pre-meiotic S (meiS) and pre-mitotic S (mitS) phases. Early origins were mapped in hydroxyurea for wild-type cells in mitS + 200mM HU, and meiS +20mM HU for wild-type, sml1, rec8 and spo11 deletion cells. Rec8, Hop1 and Red1 binding to meiotic chromosomes was evaluated using ChIP-chip in wild-type cells with and without 20 mM HU, and in cdc6-mn and clb5 clb6 delete cells. Finally, meiotic DNA double-strand breaks (DSBs) were mapped in cdc6-mn dmc1 delete cells by measuring the ssDNA that accumulates at DSB hotspots.

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.

Project description:A chromosome size-dependent bias in meiotic recombination is in place to ensure that homologous chromosome pairing occurs for all chromosomes, including the smallest ones. This bias is clearly detectable during the assembly of the meiotic protein axis, the structure that compacts meiotic chromosomes and promotes recombination.To investigate the origin of the size bias, we mapped genome-wide occupancy of the meiotic axis protein Red1 in yeast strains containing chromosome fusions and synthetic chromosomes. Meiosis studies of the fusion and synthetic chromosomes further revealed that core centromeres influence the deposition of the axial element protein Red1 over distances >100kb, while pericentromeric regions co-evolved to reduce Red1 binding near centromeres and spread out Red1 along the chromosomes.

Project description:The meiotic cell division reduces the chromosome number from diploid to haploid to form gametes for sexual reproduction. Although much progress has been made in understanding meiotic recombination and the two meiotic divisions, the processes leading up to recombination, including the prolonged pre-meiotic S phase (meiS) and the assembly of meiotic chromosome axes, remain poorly defined. We have used genome-wide approaches in Saccharomyces cerevisiae to measure the kinetics of pre-meiotic DNA replication, and to investigate the interdependencies between replication and axis formation. We found that replication initiation was delayed for a large number of origins in meiS compared to mitosis, and that meiotic cells were far more sensitive to replication inhibition, most likely due to the starvation conditions required for meiotic induction. Moreover, replication initiation was delayed even in the absence of chromosome axes, indicating replication timing is independent of the process of axis assembly. Finally, we found that cells were able to install axis components and initiate recombination on unreplicated DNA. Thus, although pre-meiotic DNA replication and meiotic chromosome axis formation occur concurrently, they are not directly coupled. The functional separation of these processes reveals a modular method of building meiotic chromosomes, and predicts that any crosstalk between these modules must occur through superimposed regulatory mechanisms. Multiple studies of meiotic chromosomes were undertaken. To study DNA replication, the locations of replicative helicase (Mcm2-7) were mapped in pre-meiotic and pre-mitotic cells, and DNA replication profiles were created for pre-meiotic S (meiS) and pre-mitotic S (mitS) phases. Early origins were mapped in hydroxyurea for wild-type cells in mitS + 200mM HU, and meiS +20mM HU for wild-type, sml1, rec8 and spo11 deletion cells. Rec8, Hop1 and Red1 binding to meiotic chromosomes was evaluated using ChIP-chip in wild-type cells with and without 20 mM HU, and in cdc6-mn and clb5 clb6 delete cells. Finally, meiotic DNA double-strand breaks (DSBs) were mapped in cdc6-mn dmc1 delete cells by measuring the ssDNA that accumulates at DSB hotspots.

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.
