The conserved SUMO ligase Zip3 protein associates differentially with meiotic double-strand break sites and reveals regional variations in the outcome of meiotic recombination

ABSTRACT: 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.

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.
