The SUN1-SPDYA interaction plays an essential role in meiosis prophase I

ABSTRACT: Chromosomes pair and synapse with their homologous partners to segregate correctly at meiosis I. Association of telomeres with the LINC (Linker of Nucleoskeleton and Cytoskeleton) complex enables telomere-led chromosome movements and telomere bouquet formation, facilitating precise pairwise alignment of homologs. Here, we identify a direct interaction between SUN1 and Speedy A (SPDYA) and determine the crystal structure of human SUN1-SPDYA-CDK2 ternary complex. Analysis of meiosis prophase I process in SPDYA-binding-deficient SUN1 mutant mice reveals that the SUN1-SPDYA interaction is required for the telomere-LINC complex connection and the assembly of a ring-shaped telomere supramolecular architecture at the nuclear envelope, which is critical for efficient homologous pairing and synapsis. Overall, our results provide structural insights into meiotic telomere structure that is essential for meiotic prophase progression.

SRSF1 is crucial for male meiosis through alternative splicing during homologous pairing and synapsis in mice [CLIP-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.

Depletion of Sun1/2 Induces Heterochromatin Accrual in MSCs

Project description:Mesenchyal Stem Cells (MSCs) differentiation into multiple lineages, such as osteocytes and adipocytes, has been shown to be regulated by mechanical signals. The Linker of the Nucleoskeleton and Cytoskeleton (LINC) complex has been shown to be required for mechanical signal transduction, regulation of MSCs differentiation, and nuclear integrity. The LINC complex is made of Nesprins and Sun proteins. Nesprin proteins associate with the cytoskeleton on the outer nuclear membrane and Sun proteins are bound to the inner nuclear membrane where they bind to inner nuclear proteins and chromatin. We investigated the role of the Sun1/2 in regulating the inner nuclear functions of chromatin organization and adipogenic differentiation independently of the LINC complex function. We show that depletion of Sun1/2 increased nuclear area and perimeter, and decreased circularity. Expression of a dominant-negative KASH (dnKASH) domain targeting the SUN domain on Sun proteins inhibiting Nesprin-SUN association resulting a loss of Nesprin localization to the nuclear envelope decreased nuclear area and circularity. Adipogenesis was inhibited during Sun1/2 depletion while dnKASH expression accelerated adipgoenesis. RNA-seq data showed decreased adipogensis and increased immune response during Sun1/2 depletion. dnKASH responded oppositely with increased adipogenic gene expression and decreased immune response. We also observed increased H3K9me3 levels, increased H3K9me3 foci count, and enrichment on Adipoq during Sun1/2 depletion. No increase of H3K9me3 levels, foci count, or increased H3K9me3 enrichment on Adipoq was found during dnKASH expression. We conclude that physically decoupling of the LINC complex via dnKASH accelerates adipogenesis and that Sun1/2 regulates chromatin organization and adipogenesis independently of the LINC complex function.

Requirement for Sun1 in the expression of meiotic reproductive genes and piRNA

Project description:The inner nuclear envelope (NE) proteins interact with the nuclear lamina and participate in the architectural compartmentalization of chromosomes. The association of NE proteins with DNA contributes to the spatial rearrangement of chromosomes and their gene expression. Sun1 is an inner nuclear membrane (INM) protein that locates to telomeres and anchors chromosome movement in the prophase of meiosis. Here, we have created Sun1-/- mice and found that these mice are born and grow normally but are reproductively infertile. Detailed molecular analyses showed that Sun1-/- P14 testes are repressed for the expression of reproductive genes and have no detectable piRNA. These findings raise a heretofore unrecognized role of Sun1 in the selective gene expression of coding and non-coding RNAs needed for gemetogenesis. Total RNA was isolated from E14.5 mouse embryonic fibroblasts (MEFs) and and day 9 and 14 mouse whole testes. cDNA samples from paired (same parents) wt (Cy3-labled) and Sun1-/- (Cy5-labled) mice were mixed and hybridized.

SWR1-independent association of H2A.Z to the LINC complex promotes meiotic chromosome motion

Project description:The H2A.Z histone variant is deposited into chromatin by the SWR1 complex affecting multiple aspects of meiosis. Here we describe a SWR1-independent localization of H2A.Z at meiotic telomeres and the centrosome. We demonstrate that H2A.Z colocalizes and interacts with Mps3, the SUN component of the LINC complex that spans the nuclear envelope and links meiotic telomeres to the cytoskeleton promoting meiotic chromosome movement. H2A.Z also interacts with the meiosis-specific Ndj1 protein that anchors telomeres to the nuclear periphery via Mps3. Telomeric localization of H2A.Z depends on Ndj1 and the N-terminal domain of Mps3. Although telomeric attachment to the nuclear envelope is maintained in the absence of H2A.Z, the distribution of Mps3 is altered. The velocity of chromosome movement during meiotic prophase I is reduced in the htz1? mutant lacking H2A.Z, but it is unaffected in swr1? cells. We reveal that H2A.Z is an additional LINC-associated factor that contributes to promote telomere-driven chromosome motion critical for error-free gametogenesis.

Stage-resolved genome architecture maps throughout meiotic prophase link regional variations in chromosome organization with homolog alignment (Hi-C, Cut&Tag, RNA-seq)

Project description:During meiosis, chromosomes undergo extensive changes in structure and intranuclear positioning. How these chromosome organization changes occur and how they influence meiosis-specific chromosome events are not fully understood. Using Hi-C, we characterized chromosome architecture throughout mouse spermatogenesis at high temporal resolution. Our study revealed an intimate link between chromosome organization features and homolog pairing and alignment. We found that the meiotic chromosomes progressively reshape from TAD-like domains into linearly arranged loop arrays during prophase I. The transcriptionally active and inactive genomic regions exhibit distinct dynamics of loop growth, resulting in alternating domains consisting of shorter and longer chromosome loops. Such a domanial organization along meiotic chromosome axes is tightly correlated with the strength and precision of inter-homolog alignment. We further showed that a significant fraction of chromosomes near chromosome ends exhibit elevated inter-chromosomal association upon entering zygotene stage, while also exhibiting a higher degree of inter-homolog alignment. Using a mouse model defective in LINC complex component SUN1, we demonstrated that the prominent alignment of chromosome ends is dependent on the association of telomeres with the mechano-transducing LINC complex, but not the tethering of telomeres to the nuclear periphery. Taken together, our results suggest the 3D chromosome organization may provide a structural framework for the regulation of meiotic chromosome processes in higher eukaryotes.

LC-MS/MS analysis of immunoprecipitation samples of Tetrahymena meiotic proteins Melg1, Melg2, Melg3, and Tass1

Project description:In most eukaryotes, the meiotic chromosomal bouquet (comprising clustered chromosome ends) provides an ordered chromosome arrangement that facilitates pairing and recombination between homologous chromosomes. In the protist Tetrahymena thermophila, the meiotic prophase nucleus stretches enormously and chromosomes assume a bouquet-like arrangement in which telomeres and centromeres are attached to opposite poles of the nucleus. We have identified and characterized three meiosis-specific genes (MELG1-3) that control nuclear elongation and centromere and telomere clustering. Hence, to find out potential interactions, we did LC-MS/MS analysis for Melg1, Melg2, Melg3, and Tass1 (a partner of Melg3) immunoprecipitation samples.
