RBPL-1, the C. elegans homolog of RBBP6, promotes meiotic homolog pairing through a conserved DWNN domain

ABSTRACT: Accurate chromosome segregation during meiosis depends on precise homolog pairing, a process driven by a series of specialized proteins that link chromosomes to cytoskeletal motors and coordinate chromosome movement for homolog recognition and alignment. Here, we demonstrate that RBPL-1, the C. elegans homolog of RBBP6, is necessary for normal meiotic progression, particularly for proper homolog pairing and associated nuclear reorganization. RBPL-1 is enriched on the autosomes in early and mid- pachytene nuclei. Depletion of RBPL-1 led to reduced levels of ZIM/HIM-8 family proteins and PLK-2 kinase, two critical mediators of homolog pairing. Notably, RBPL-1's role in homolog pairing is independent of the RING finger domain, which mediates ubiquitination, and its Zn knuckle domain, which is implicated in APA/mRNA processing. Instead, we reveal that the evolutionarily conserved yet functionally enigmatic DWNN domain is essential for RBPL-1's function. Our findings uncover a previously unrecognized regulatory mechanism governing homolog pairing during meiosis.

Pachytene piRNAs govern male meiosis I by spatial restriction of gene expression [piRNA_RNAIP]

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.

Distinct intersecting pathways link homolog pairing to initiation of meiotic chromosome synapsis

Project description:Faithful meiotic segregation requires pairwise alignment of the homologous chromosomes and Synaptonemal Complex assembly (SC) at their interface. 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 specifically impairs synapsis licensing without affecting homologs recognition, SC maintenance or chromosome movement. Double mutant analysis revealed a previously unrecognized role for HIM-17 in promoting homolog pairing under dysfunctional SC assembly, without perturbing nuclear envelope recruitment of factors required for chromosome movement. We provide evidence that bra-2 and him-17 act in distinct pathways, exerting partially redundant functions in SC licensing, as well as separable roles in regulating homologs pairing. Altogether, our findings unveil novel mechanisms that ensure stabilization of homologous chromosome interaction via SC licensing upon homology assessment.

Project description:modENCODE_submission_5223 This submission comes from a modENCODE project of Jason Lieb. For full list of modENCODE projects, see http://www.genome.gov/26524648 Project Goal: The focus of our analysis will be elements that specify nucleosome positioning and occupancy, control domains of gene expression, induce repression of the X chromosome, guide mitotic segregation and genome duplication, govern homolog pairing and recombination during meiosis, and organize chromosome positioning within the nucleus. Our 126 strategically selected targets include RNA polymerase II isoforms, dosage-compensation proteins, centromere components, homolog-pairing facilitators, recombination markers, and nuclear-envelope constituents. We will integrate information generated with existing knowledge on the biology of the targets and perform ChIP-seq analysis on mutant and RNAi extracts lacking selected target proteins.

Stage-resolved genome architecture maps throughout meiotic prophase link regional variations in chromosome organization with homolog alignment

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.
