Gene expression profile in juvenile Spo11 knockout testes

ABSTRACT: Spo11, a meiosis-specific protein, introduces double strand breaks on chromosomes and initiates meiotic recombination in a wide variety of organisms. Mouse null Spo11 spermatocytes fail to synapse chromosomes and to progress beyond zygotene stage of meiosis. We analyzed gene expression profiles in Spo11-/- adult and juvenile wild type testis to determine genes expressed in different stages of meiosis and spermatogenesis. These genes were characterized using Gene Ontology. To focus on genes involved in meiosis we performed comparative gene expression analysis of Spo11 -/- and wild type testes from 12 and 15 day mice. We found that the knockout of Spo11 gene causes dramatic changes in the level of expression of genes that participate in meiotic recombination (Hop2, Brca2, Mnd1, FancG) and in the meiotic checkpoint (cyclin B2, Cks2) at 15 day, but does not affect genes encoding protein components of the synaptonemal complex. Finally, we uncovered unknown genes that are affected by disruption of the Spo11gene and therefore, may be specifically involved in meiosis and spermatogenesis. Keywords: repeat sample

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.

ChIP-chip analyses: In all cases, hybridization data for ChIP fraction was compared with WCE (whole cell extract) fraction. Saccharomyces cerevisiae affymetrix genome tiling array (SC3456a520015F for chromosome III, IV, V, VI and rikDACF for chromosome VI) were used. Mapping of DSB sites: DSB rich fraction was concentrated by ChIP of Spo11-FLAG in rad50S mutant without crosslinking. In the mutant, DSBs ramain unrepaired with covalently attached Spo11.Meiotic cells (at 7 hours in sporulation medium) were used for the analyses. â?¢ Quality control steps taken Confirmation of several loci by quantitative real time PCR.
