Negative supercoil senses temperature to modulate meiotic crossovers and chromosomes

ABSTRACT: 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.

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.

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.

Absence of chromosome axis proteins recruitment prevents meiotic recombination chromosome-wide in the budding yeast Lachancea kluyveri (ChIP-Seq)

Project description:Here we studied the budding yeast Lachancea kluyveri, a cousin of the model Saccharomyces cerevisiae, in order to try to understand the mechanism responsible for the absence of meiotic recombination on its almost entire sex chromosome (Brion et al. 2017). We performed protein-DNA interaction mapping of Rec8, Red1, Hop1 and Zip3 proteins by ChIP-seq. Briefly, we observed an enrichment of Zip3, a protein known as a marker of type I crossing-overs, where peaks of DSBs were detected by CC-seq and a virtual absence of Zip3 within Lakl0C-left. For Rec8, a meiotic specific protein part of the cohesin complex, we detected enriched peaks at centromeres and inside intergenic regions flanked by convergent ORFs everywhere in the genome Lakl0C-left included. Remarkably, Red1 and Hop1, known to form the lateral element of the synaptonemal complex and important for DSB formation, were enriched mainly at Rec8 peaks except at centromeres and particurlarly on Lakl0C-left where they are completely absent.

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.

Negative supcoils pattern meiotic crossovers

Project description:Interference exists ubiquitously in many biological processes. Crossover interference patterns meiotic crossovers, which are required for faithful chromosome segregation and evolutionary adaption. However, what the interference signal is and how it is generated and regulated are unknown. We show that yeast top2 alleles cannot bind or cleave DNA accumulate a higher level of negative supercoils and show weaker interference. However, top2 alleles cannot religate the cleaved DNA or release the religated DNA accumulate less negative supercoils and show stronger interference. Moreover, the level of negative supercoils is negatively correlated with crossover interference strength in various strains. Furthermore, negative supercoils preferentially enrich at crossover-associated Zip3 regions before the formation of meiotic DNA double-strand breaks, and regions with more negative supercoils tend to have more Zip3. Additionally, the strength of crossover interference and homeostasis change coordinately in mutants. These findings suggest that the accumulation and relief of negative supercoils pattern meiotic crossovers.

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.

Transcription Dynamically Patterns the Meiotic Chromosome-Axis Interface

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)

Non-canonical functions of spindle checkpoint proteins in meiosis

Project description:Gametes are produced via meiosis, a specialized cell division associated with frequent errors which cause birth defects and infertility. Uniquely in meiosis I, homologous chromosomes segregate to opposite poles, usually requiring their linkage by chiasmata, the products of crossover recombination1. The spindle checkpoint delays cell cycle progression until all chromosomes are properly attached to microtubules2 but the steps leading to the capture and alignment of chromosomes on the meiosis I spindle remain poorly understood. In budding yeast meiosis I, Mad2 and Mad3BUBR1 are equally important for spindle checkpoint delay, but biorientation of homologs on the meiosis I spindle requires Mad2, but not Mad3BUBR1 3,4. Here we show that Mad3BUBR1 promotes accurate meiosis I homolog segregation outside its canonical checkpoint role, independently of Mad2. We find that Mad3BUBR1 associates with the TOGL1 domain of Stu1CLASP, a conserved plus-end microtubule protein which is important for chromosome capture onto the spindle. Homologous chromosome pairs that are proficient in crossover formation, but which fail to biorient, rely on Mad3BUBR1-Stu1CLASP to ensure their efficient attachment to microtubules and segregation during meiosis I. Furthermore, we show that Mad3BUBR1-Stu1CLASP are essential to rescue the segregation of mini-chromosomes lacking crossovers. Our findings define a new pathway ensuring microtubule-dependent chromosome capture and demonstrate that spindle checkpoint proteins safeguard the fidelity of chromosome segregation both by actively promoting chromosome alignment and delaying cell cycle progression until this has occurred.

Proximity labeling reveals new functional relationships between meiotic recombination proteins in S. cerevisiae

Project description:Several protein ensembles facilitate meiotic crossover recombination and the associated process of synaptonemal complex (SC) assembly during meiosis. We have employed proximity labeling as a phenotyping tool to investigate functional requirements for spatial relationships between meiotic recombination and SC proteins in S. cerevisiae, and to gain deeper insight into the molecular deficits of crossover-deficient meiotic mutants. We find that recombination initiation and synaptonemal complex structures are dispensable for proximity labeling of the Zip3 E3 ligase by components of the ZZS ensemble (Zip2, Zip4 and Spo16) but enzymes associated with early steps in recombination are required for Zip3 proximity labeling by MutSg, consistent with the possibility that MutSg joins Zip3 only after a specific recombination intermediate has been generated. Proximity labeling furthermore suggests that a key defect of crossover-defective, SC-proficient zip1 separation-of-function mutants is a failure to assemble an early recombination ensemble where MutSg can properly engage Zip3. We also find that the SC structural protein Ecm11 is proximity labeled by ZZS proteins in a Zip4-dependent and Zip1-independent manner, but by Zip3 and Msh4 at least in part via a distinct pathway that relies on Zip1. Finally, streptavidin pulldown followed by mass spectrometry on eleven proximity labeling strains uncovered shared proximity targets of SC and crossover-associated proteins, some of which have not yet been implicated in meiotic recombination or SC formation highlighting the potential of proximity labeling as a discovery tool.
