Overlapping and separable activities of BRA-2 and HIM-17 promote occurrence and regulation of pairing and synapsis during Caenorhabditis elegans meiosis

ABSTRACT: Faithful meiotic segregation requires pairwise alignment of the homologous chromosomes and their synaptonemal complex (SC) mediated stabilization. Here, we investigate on new factors that promote and coordinate these events during C. elegans meiosis. We identify BRA-2 (BMP Receptor Associated family member 2) as an interactor of HIM-17, previously shown to promote double-strand break formation. We found that loss of bra-2 impairs synapsis elongation without affecting homolog recognition, chromosome movement or SC maintenance. Epistasis analyses reveal previously unrecognized activities for HIM-17 in regulating homolog paring and SC assembly in a partially overlapping manner with BRA-2. We show that removing bra-2 or him-17 restores nuclear clustering, recruitment of PLK-2 at the nuclear periphery and abrogation of ectopic synapsis in htp-1 mutants, suggesting intact CHK-2-mediated signaling and presence of a barrier that prevents SC polymerization in absence of homology. Our findings shed new light on the regulatory mechanisms ensuring faithful pairing and synapsis.

SRSF1 is crucial for male meiosis through alternative splicing during homologous pairing and synapsis in mice [RNA-seq]

Project description:Homologous pairing and synapsis are essential in meiotic prophase I during spermatogenesis. However, the underlying mechanisms of how alternative splicing (AS) functions in homologous pairing and synapsis remain largely unclear. We reveal that SRSF1 is essential for gene expression and AS in homologous pairing and synapsis. Conditional knockout (cKO) of Srsf1 in mouse germ cells impaired homologous pairing and synapsis, leading to non-obstructive azoospermia (NOA). SRSF1 was required for initial homology recognition, telomere-led chromosome movement, and synaptonemal complex (SC) assembly. Moreover, SRSF1 interacted with TRA2B and U2AF2, directly binding and regulating the expression of Dmc1, Sycp1, Sun1, and Majin via AS to implement homologous pairing and synapsis during the meiotic prophase I program. Altogether, our data reveal the critical role of an SRSF1-mediated post-transcriptional regulatory mechanism in homologous pairing and synapsis during meiotic prophase I, providing a framework for elucidating the molecular mechanisms underlying the post-transcriptional network of male meiosis.

RNA-seq analysis in syp-2::AID and N2 controls with and without auxin treatment (4 hours at 4 mM concentration)

Project description:Chromosome movements and programmed DNA double-strand breaks (DSBs) promote homologue pairing and initiate recombination at meiosis onset. Checkpoints implement termination of these events when all chromosomes achieve synapsis and form crossover precursors, ensuring meiotic progression. We show that termination of chromosome movement and DSB formation is reversible and is continuously implemented by the synaptonemal complex (SC), which silences chromosome signals that promote CHK-2 activity. Forced removal of the SC or different meiosis-specific cohesin complexes, which are individually required for SC stability, causes rapid CHK-2-dependent reinstallation of the DSB-formation and chromosome-movement machinery. This nuclear reorganization occurs without transcriptional changes, but requires signalling from HORMA protein HTP-1. Conversely, CHK-2 inactivation causes rapid disassembly of the DSB-formation and chromosome-movement machinery. Thus, nuclear organization is constantly controlled by the level of CHK-2 activity. Our results uncover an unexpected plasticity of the meiotic program and show how chromosome signalling integrates nuclear organization with meiotic progression.

Integrative Structural Model of DNA-PK Synapsis

Project description:In non-homologous end joining repair of DNA double strand breaks, DNA dependent protein kinase catalytic subunit (DNA-PKcs) and Ku70/80 binds the free DNA ends forming the holoenzyme DNA-PK. DNA-PK synapses across the break to tether the broken ends in the initial long range synaptic complex. We generated an integrative structural model of DNA-PK synapsis at a precision of 13.5Å with crosslinking mass spectrometry (XL-MS) restraints. While our hydrogen deuterium exchange (HX) analysis revealed an allosteric axis in DNA-PK connecting DNA binding (including the plug domain) to the kinase domain. Our model presents a symmetrical synapsis primarily through head to head interactions and protection of the DNA by previously uncharacterized a plug domain. The offset of the DNA in our model allows access to downstream processing enzymes, while the combination of DNA binding and kinase loading creates a tensed state that could have roles in the re-arrangement/dissociation of DNA-PKcs as the repair process progresses.

Pachytene piRNAs govern male meiosis I by spatial restriction of gene expression (siRNA)

Project description:Pachytene piRNAs control male fertility across metazoans, yet mechanisms through which they govern meiosis I in pachytene remain unclear. We demonstrate, in C. elegans, that homolog pairing, and crossover formation are compromised in the absence of piRNA function. We identify several protein coding genes as targets of piRNAs including Polo like kinase 3 (PLK-). Pachytene piRNAs spatially restrict and exclude PLK-3 expression from meiosis I. Expansion of PLK-3 expression into the pachytene region, upon loss of piRNAs, is reflected in meiotic defects, which are partially rescued by removal of ectopic PLK-3. Pachytene piRNAs regulate PLK-3 through both translational repression and post-transcriptional degradation establishing the spatiotemporal control of gene expression. Given the conserved role of pachytene piRNAs, we propose that these mechanisms may be applicable to mammals.

BCAS2 and hnRNPH1 orchestrate alternative splicing for DNA double-strand break repair and synapsis in meiotic prophase I [RNAs-seq]

Project description:Understanding the intricacies of homologous recombination during meiosis is crucial for reproductive biology. However, the role of alternative splicing (AS) in DNA double-strand breaks (DSBs) repair and synapsis remains elusive. In this study, we investigated the impact of conditional knockout (cKO) of the splicing factor gene Bcas2 in mouse germ cells, revealing impaired DSBs repair and synapsis, resulting in non-obstructive azoospermia (NOA). Employing crosslinking immunoprecipitation and sequencing (CLIP-seq), we globally mapped BCAS2 binding sites in the testis, uncovering its predominant association with 5' splice sites (5'SS) of introns and a preference for GA-rich regions. Integrating CLIP-seq with RNA-seq, we identified BCAS2 as a key player in the AS of pre-mRNAs, including Spo11, Six6os1, Sycp1, Msh5, Cdk2, Sun2, Stag3, and Spdya, crucial for DSBs repair and synapsis. Notably, BCAS2 exhibited direct binding and regulatory influence on Trp53bp1 and Six6os1 through AS, unveiling novel insights into DSBs repair and synapsis during meiotic prophase I. Furthermore, the interaction between BCAS2, hnRNPH1, and SRSF3 was discovered to orchestrate Trp53bp1 expression via AS, underscoring its role in meiotic prophase I DSBs repair. In summary, our findings delineate the indispensable role of BCAS2-mediated post-transcriptional regulation in DSBs repair and synapsis during male meiosis. This study provides a comprehensive framework for unraveling the molecular mechanisms governing the post-transcriptional network in male meiosis, contributing to the broader understanding of reproductive biology.
