Dynamic of chromosome-binding protein complexes to meiotic prophase I of mouse spermatocyte
Ontology highlight
ABSTRACT: Meiotic prophase I (MPI) is the most important event in mammalian meiosis. Even though MPI-related gene expression has been extensively investigated, the status of the chromosome binding proteins (CBPs) and the corresponding complexes in this process has been not scrutinized yet. A quantitative proteomics focused onto the MPI-related CBPs was accomplished in this study, in which the mouse primary spermatocytes in 4 different subphases of MPI were collected and the chromosome-enriched proteins (ChEPs) within the cells were extracted and identified in quantitative mode. According to a stringent criterion, in total of 1136 CBPs in the MPI subphases were identified and quantified. Looking at the dynamic patterns of CBP abundance in response to MPI progression, the patterns were broadly divided to two groups, high abundance in leptotene (L) and zygotene (Z) or that in pachytene (P) and diplotene (D). Most importantly, 26 CBP complexes were found, while some MPI-dependent features of these complexes were perceived for the first time. The functions of these complexes were categorized to DNA replication, pre-initial complex of transcription, transcriptional regulation and synapsis. In agreement with the current theory, the dynamic changes of the CBP complex abundance appeared declined DNA replication and activated transcription and synapsis activities in P and D, and Z and P phase; in converse to the traditional prediction, the abundance response of CBP complexes to MPI emerged condensin activity weakened in P and D phase. Profiling of protein complexes thus offered convincing evidence how important the CBP complexes partake in MPI regulation.
