Project description:Spo11-mediated DNA double strand breaks (DSBs) that initiate meiotic recombination are temporally and spatially controlled. The meiotic cohesin Rec8 has been implicated in regulating DSB formation, but little is known about the features of their interplay. To shed light on this point, we investigated the genome-wide localization of Spo11 in budding yeast during early meiosis by chromatin immunoprecipitation using high-density tiling arrays. We found that Spo11 is dynamically localized to meiotic chromosomes. Spo11 initially accumulated around centromeres and thereafter localized to arm regions as premeiotic S-phase proceeded. During this stage, a substantial proportion of Spo11 bound to Rec8 binding sites. Eventually, some of Spo11 further bound to both DSB and Rec8 sites. We also showed that such a change in a distribution of Spo11 is affected by hydroxyurea (HU) treatment. Interestingly, deletion of REC8 influences the localization of Spo11 to centromeres and in some of the intervals of the chromosomal arms. Thereby we observed a lack of DSB formation in a region-specific manner. These observations suggest that Rec8 would prearrange the distribution of Spo11 along chromosomes and will provide clues to understanding temporal and spatial regulation of DSB formation.

Project description:Meiotic recombination is initiated by genome-wide SPO11-induced double-strand breaks (DSBs) that are processed by MRE11-mediated release of SPO11-bound oligonucleotides (SPO11-oligos). The DSB is then resected and loaded with DMC1/RAD51 filaments that invade homologous chromosome templates. In most mammals, DSB locations (“hotspots”) are determined by the DNA sequence specificity of the PRDM9 DNA binding zinc finger array. Here, we demonstrate the first direct detection of meiotic DSBs in vertebrates by performing END-seq on mouse spermatocytes using low sample input. We find that DMC1 limits both the minimum and maximum length of ssDNA produced at all hotspots, whereas 53BP1, BRCA1 and EXO1 play a surprisingly minimal role in meiotic resection. Through enzymatic modifications to the END-seq protocol that mimic the in vivo processing of SPO11, we identify a novel meiotic recombination intermediate (RI) with SPO11 still bound to the 3’ end via a small stretch of dsDNA (“SPO11-RI”) that is dependent on the presence of PRDM9. We propose that SPO11-RI is generated because chromatin-bound PRDM9 blocks MRE11 from releasing SPO11 via 3’-5’ resection. SPO11-RI is present at all hotspots and correlates with the localization and frequency of crossovers and noncrossovers. In Atm–/– spermatocytes, multiple DSBs at the same hotspot reduces SPO11-RI formation, while unresected DNA-bound SPO11 accumulates because of defective MRE11 initiation. Thus in addition to their global roles in governing SPO11 breakage, ATM and PRDM9 are critical local regulators of mammalian SPO11 processing.

Project description:Mre11, together with Rad50 and Xrs2/NBS, plays pivotal roles in homologous recombination, repair of DNA double strand breaks (DSBs), activation of damage-induced checkpoint, and telomere maintenance. Using DNA microarray assays to analyze yeast mutants (mre11delta, rad50delta, and spo11Y135F) defective for meiotic DSB formation, we demonstrate that the absence of Mre11 in yeast causes specific effects on regulation of a class of meiotic genes for spore development. The transcriptional deficiency was not observed in other DSB mutants such as rad50delta and spo11Y135F, suggesting the transcriptional defect in mre11delta is due to neither lack of meiotic DSB formation, nor disintegrity of Mre11-Rad50-Xrs2 complex.These defects were confirmed by northern and lacZ reporter gene assays. Experiment Overall Design: Gene expression data from wild type, mre11delta, rad50delta, and spo11Y135F cells in premeiosis (meiosis 0 hr) and prophase (meiosis 4 hr). Affymetrix GeneChip YG-S98 was used. All strains used were SK1 background diploid cells.

Project description:To determine meiotic recombination initiation sites in Arabidopsis thaliana genome we purified and sequenced oligonucleotides (35-45 nt) bound to SPO11-1, meiosis specific transesterase that induces meiotic DSB formation. This reveals that SPO11-1-oligonucleotide hotspots occur at nucleosome depleted regions of gene promoters, introns, terminators and specific families of DNA transposons (recomposons). To investigate the influence of chromatin structure and epigenetic factors on meiotic DSB formation we performed sequencing of SPO11-1-oligonucleotides in arp6, met1 and suvh4 suvh5 suvh6.

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 DSB dependent enrichment of Fun30 proteins at hotspots and meiotic axes.

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: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.

Project description:The Spo11-generated double-strand breaks (DSBs) that initiate meiotic recombination are non-randomly distributed across the genome.
