Project description:DNA double-strand breaks (DSBs) initiate meiotic recombination. Past DSB-mapping studies have used rad50S or sae2? mutants, which are defective in break processing, to accumulate DSBs, and report large (= 50 kb) “DSB-hot” regions that are separated by “DSB-cold” domains of similar size. Substantial recombination occurs in some DSB-cold regions, suggesting that DSB patterns are not normal in rad50S or sae2? mutants. We therefore developed novel methods that detect DSBs using ssDNA enrichment and microarray hybridization, and that use background-based normalization to allow cross-comparison between array datasets, to map genome-wide the DSBs that accumulate in processing-capable, repair-defective dmc1î and dmc1î rad51î mutants. DSBs were observed at known hotspots, but also in most previously-identified “DSB-cold” regions, including near centromeres and telomeres. While about 40% of the genome is DSB-cold in rad50S mutants, analysis of meiotic ssDNA from dmc1? shows that most of these regions have significant DSB activity. Thus, DSBs are distributed much more uniformly than was previously believed. Southern-blot assays of DSBs in selected regions in dmc1?, rad50S and wild-type cells confirm these findings. Comparisons of DSB signals in dmc1, dmc1 rad51, and dmc1 spo11 mutant strains identify Dmc1 as the primary strand transfer activity genome-wide, and Spo11-induced lesions as initiating all meiotic recombination. Keywords: DSB mapping, ChIP-chip, single strand DNA , BND cellulose We use two different strategies to map the genome-wide distribution of meiotic DSBs in the yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae. The first is a chromatin immunoprecipitation (ChIP) based approach that targets the Spo11p protein, which remains covalently attached to DSB ends in the rad50S mutant background. The second approach involves BND cellulose enrichment of the single strand DNA (ssDNA) recombination intermediate formed by end-resection at DSB sites following Spo11p removal. We use dmc1 and dmc1 rad51 mutants that accumulates meiotic single strand DNA intermediates

Project description:Meiotic recombination is initiated by programmed DNA double-strand breaks (DSBs) and proceeds via binding of RPA, RAD51 and DMC1 to single-stranded DNA (ssDNA) substrates created after the formation of DSBs. Here, we report high-resolution in vivo maps of RPA and RAD51 binding in meiosis, mapping their binding locations and lifespans in a B6 and a genetically modified B6xCAST F1 mouse. We ascribe signals separately to the individual homologous chromosomes in the hybrid mouse, thereby separating the signal of binding to the chromosome where DSBs occurred and the chromosome that was used as template for repair. Together with super-resolution microscopy and DMC1 binding maps, we show that DMC1 and RAD51 have distinct spatial localization on ssDNA: whereas DMC1 binds near the break-site, RAD51 binds away from it. We characterize the D-loop, a critical intermediate bound by RPA, in vivo. These data show that DMC1, not RAD51, performs strand exchange in mammalian meiosis. We find that the localisation of D-loop intermediates is similar in crossover and non-crossover pathways, with a longer lifespan for crossover-destined intermediates. These findings answer long-standing questions about the molecular intermediates of recombination.

Project description:The mitotic cohesin complex necessary for sister chromatid cohesion and chromatin loop formation shows local and global association to chromosomes in response to DNA double-strand breaks (DSBs). Here, by genome-wide binding analysis of the meiotic cohesin with Rec8 as a kleisin, we found that Rec8 shows dynamic localization from middle to late meiotic prophase I with cleavage-independent global dissociation along chromosomes, driven by meiotic DSB formation. Each Rec8 binding site on the chromosome axis follows distinct dynamics with dissociation and association. Centromeres also showed reduced Rec8 binding in late prophase I relative to mid-prophase I, implying chromosome remodeling of the regions. Rec8 dissociation profile per chromosome is largely correlated with meiotic DSB density. Indeed, the spo11 mutant deficient in meiotic DSB formation did not show the cleavage-independent dissociation of Rec8 in late meiotic prophase I. These suggest the presence of a regulatory pathway for global Rec8-cohesin dynamics in response to meiotic DSBs.

Project description:Mammalian meiotic recombination proceeds via repair of hundreds of programmed DNA double-strand breaks (DSBs). This process requires choreographed binding of RPA, DMC1 and RAD51 to single-stranded DNA (ssDNA) substrates and in vivo binding maps of these proteins provide insights into the underlying molecular mechanisms. When assayed in F1-hybrid mice, these maps can distinguish the broken chromosome from the homologous chromosome used as template for repair, which reveals further mechanistic detail and enables the structure of the recombination intermediates to be inferred. By applying CRISPR/Cas9 mutagenesis directly on F1-hybrid embryos, we have extended this powerful analysis technique to explore the molecular detail of recombination when a key component is knocked-out. As a proof-of-concept, we have generated biallelic knockouts of Dmc1 and built maps of meiotic binding of RAD51 and RPA in these knockout hybrid mice. Dmc1 mutants undergo meiotic arrest and comparison of these maps with those from wild-type mice is informative about the structure and timing of recombination intermediates in both genotypes. We confirm a complete abrogation of strand exchange in Dmc1 mutants, and observe a redistribution of RAD51 binding across both the distal and proximal ends of the resected DNA. We observe unexpected RPA and DMC1 binding in the wild-type, which suggests multiple rounds of strand invasion with template-switching in mouse. The methodology used involves direct phenotyping of hybrid “founder” mice following CRISPR mutagenesis and provides a high-throughput approach for the analysis of gene function during meiotic recombination, at low animal cost.

Project description:During meiotic prophase, concurrent transcription, recombination, and chromosome synapsis place substantial topological strain on chromosomal DNA, but the role of topoisomerases in this context remains poorly defined. Here, we analyzed the roles topoisomerases I and II (Top1 and Top2) during meiotic prophase in Saccharomyces cerevisiae. We show that both topoisomerases accumulate primarily in promoter-containing intergenic regions of actively transcribing genes, including many meiotic double-strand break (DSB) hotspots. Despite the comparable binding patterns, top1 and top2 mutations have different effects on meiotic recombination. TOP1 disruption delays DSB induction and shortens the window of DSB accumulation by an unknown mechanism. By contrast, temperature-sensitive top2-1 mutants exhibit a marked delay in meiotic chromosome remodeling and elevated DSB signals on synapsed chromosomes. The problems in chromosome remodeling were linked to altered Top2 binding patterns rather than a loss of Top2 catalytic activity and stemmed from a defect in recruiting the chromosome remodeler Pch2/TRIP13 to synapsed chromosomes. No chromosomal defects were observed in the absence of TOP1. Our results imply independent roles for topoisomerases I and II in modulating meiotic chromosome structure and recombination.

Project description:Mcm2-7 ChIP in pre-meiotic and pre-mitotic cells, axis factor ChIP in wild-type and replication compromised strains in meiosis Multiple studies of meiotic chromosomes were undertaken. To study DNA replication, the locations of replicative helicase (Mcm2-7) were mapped in pre-meiotic and pre-mitotic cells, and DNA replication profiles were created for pre-meiotic S (meiS) and pre-mitotic S (mitS) phases. Early origins were mapped in hydroxyurea for wild-type cells in mitS + 200mM HU, and meiS +20mM HU for wild-type, sml1, rec8 and spo11 deletion cells. Rec8, Hop1 and Red1 binding to meiotic chromosomes was evaluated using ChIP-chip in wild-type cells with and without 20 mM HU, and in cdc6-mn and clb5 clb6 delete cells. Finally, meiotic DNA double-strand breaks (DSBs) were mapped in cdc6-mn dmc1 delete cells by measuring the ssDNA that accumulates at DSB hotspots.

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:DNA double strand breaks (DSBs) in repetitive sequences are a potent source of genomic instability, due to the possibility of non-allelic homologous recombination (NAHR). Repetitive sequences are especially at risk during meiosis, when numerous programmed DSBs are introduced into the genome to initiate meiotic recombination 1. Within the budding yeast repetitive ribosomal (r)DNA array, meiotic DSB formation is prevented in part through Sir2-dependent heterochromatin 2,3. Here, we demonstrate that the edges of the rDNA array are exceptionally susceptible to meiotic DSBs, revealing an inherent heterogeneity within the rDNA array. We find that this localised DSB susceptibility necessitates a border-specific protection system consisting of the meiotic ATPase Pch2 and the origin recognition complex subunit Orc1. Upon disruption of these factors, DSB formation and recombination specifically increased in the outermost rDNA repeats, leading to NAHR and rDNA instability. Strikingly, the Sir2-dependent heterochromatin of the rDNA itself was responsible for the induction of DSBs at the rDNA borders in pch2? cells. Thus, while Sir2 activity globally prevents meiotic DSBs within the rDNA, it creates a highly permissive environment for DSB formation at the heterochromatin/euchromatin junctions. Heterochromatinised repetitive DNA arrays are abundantly present in most eukaryotic genomes. Our data define the borders of such chromatin domains as distinct high-risk regions for meiotic NAHR, whose protection may be a universal requirement to prevent meiotic genome rearrangements associated with genomic diseases and birth defects. This SuperSeries is composed of the following subset Series: GSE30071: ssDNA mapping in dmc1 strains GSE30072: ChIP-chip of DSB factors in wild type and pch2 strains Two types of study were undertaken to understand the regulation of meiotic DSB formation close to repetitive DNA elements in yeast. First, DSBs were mapped using ssDNA enrichment in strains isogenic for a dmc1 mutation, and also including pch2 delete, orc1-161, rdna delete and a reciprocal translocation between chromosomes 2 and 12 (trans2to12). Second, the association of the DSB factors Hop1, Rec114, Mer2, and Mre1, as well as total histone H3 and H3K4-trimethylation were measured by ChIP-chip analysis in wild-type and pch2 delete strains.

Project description:We report the application of ChIP-seq targeted at the meiosis-specific protein DMC1 to reveal the genome-wide distribution of initiation of meiotic recombination. The mouse model here employed is Hop2-/- because it is unable to repair the DNA double-stranded breaks and therefore the DMC1 signal is more persistent. We also provide the resulting dataset of ChIP-seq targeted at RAD51 which is not meiosis specific but is also targeted at initiation of recombination loci in meiotic tissue. In addition, we report DMC1 ChIP-seq on wild type mouse pup testis. Finally, we present ChIP-seq targeted at H3K4me3 in testis and liver tissues.
