Project description:The formation of RAD51/DMC1 filaments on single-stranded (ss)DNAs, which is essential for homology search and strand exchange in DNA double-strand break (DSB) repair and for the protection of stalled DNA replication forks, is tightly regulated in time and space. FIGNL1 AAA+++ ATPase plays positive and negative roles in the RAD51-mediated recombination in human cells. However, the role of FIGNL1 in gametogenesis remains unsolved. Here, we characterized a germ-line-specific conditional knockout (cKO) mouse of FIGNL1. The Fignl1 cKO male mice showed defective chromosome synapsis and impaired meiotic DSB repair with the accumulation of RAD51/DMC1 on chromosomes in mid-meiotic prophase I, supporting a role of FIGNL1 in a post-assembly stage of RAD51/DMC1 filaments. Fignl1 cKO spermatocytes accumulate RAD51 and DMC1 ensembles on chromosomes not only in early meiotic prophase I but also in meiotic S-phase. These RAD51/DMC1 assemblies are independent of meiotic DSB formation. Finally, we showed that purified FIGNL1 dismantles RAD51 filament on double-stranded (ds)DNA as well as ssDNA. These results suggest a critical role of FIGNL1 to limit the uncontrolled assembly of RAD51 and DMC1 on native dsDNAs during the meiotic S-phase and meiotic prophase I.

Fignl1 cKO male mice showed defective chromosome synapsis and impaired meiotic DSB repair with the accumulation of RAD51/DMC1 on meiotic chromosomes, supporting a positive role of FIGNL1 in homologous recombination at a post-assembly stage of RAD51/DMC1 filaments. Fignl1 cKO spermatocytes also accumulate RAD51/DMC1 on chromosomes in pre-meiotic S-phase. These RAD51/DMC1 assemblies are independent of meiotic DSB formation. We also showed that purified FIGNL1 dismantles RAD51 filament on double-stranded (ds)DNA as well as ssDNA. These results suggest an additional role of FIGNL1 in limiting the non-productive assembly of RAD51/DMC1 on native dsDNAs during pre-meiotic S-phase and meiotic prophase I.

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:The proper maintenance of genetic material is essential for the survival of living organisms. One of the main safeguards of genome stability is homologous recombination involved in the faithful repair of DNA double-strand breaks, the restoration of collapsed replication forks, and the bypass of replication barriers. Homologous recombination relies on the formation of Rad51 nucleofilaments which are responsible for the homology-based interactions between DNA strands. Here we demonstrate that without the regulation of these filaments by Srs2 and Rad54, which are known to remove Rad51 from single-stranded and double-stranded DNA respectively, the filaments strongly inhibit damage-associated DNA synthesis during DNA repair. Furthermore, this regulation is essential for cell survival under normal growth conditions as in the srs2Δ rad54Δ mutants unregulated Rad51 nucleofilaments cause activation of the DNA damage checkpoint, formation of mitotic bridges and loss of genetic material. These genome instability features may stem from the problems at stalled replication forks as the lack of Srs2 and Rad54 in the presence of Rad51 nucleofilaments impedes cell recovery from replication stress. This study demonstrates that the timely and efficient disassembly of recombination machinery is essential for genome maintenance and cell survival.

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:A functional cooperation between an AAA type ATPase domain and a bromodomain has been evidenced. These two domains were identified and their activity tested in a yet uncharacterized factor, named Atad2, whose two-domain configuration remained highly conserved during evolution. In human and mouse, Atad2 is most abundantly expressed in testis and in the mouse. It has also been detected in post-meiotic stages and in mature spermatozoa. The AAA-ATPase domain was found necessary for protein multimerization and high affinity binding to acetylated nucleosomes by its bromodomain. The binding was found specific to acetylated histone H4 tail with a critical role for the acetylated K5 position. In vivo studies show that Atad2 behaves as a general repressor of transcription and possesses a chromatin “freezing” activity. Finally, we demonstrate that the induction of apoptosis leads to an early degradation of Atad2, which probably facilitates the action of apoptotic factors by increasing chromatin dynamics.

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.

Project description:The eukaryotic RecA homologs Rad51 and Dmc1 are essential for strand exchange between homologous chromosomes during meiosis. All members of the RecA family of recombinases polymerize on DNA to form helical nucleoprotein filaments, which is the active form of the protein. Here we compare the filament structures of the Rad51 and Dmc1 proteins from both human and budding yeast. Previous studies of Dmc1 filaments suggested that they might be structurally distinct from filaments of other members of the RecA family, including Rad51. The data presented here indicate that Rad51 and Dmc1 filaments are essentially identical with respect to several structural parameters, including persistence length, helical pitch, filament diameter, DNA base pairs per helical turn and helical handedness. These data, together with previous studies demonstrating similar in vitro recombinase activity for Dmc1 and Rad51, support the view that differences in the meiotic function of Rad51 and Dmc1 are more likely to result from the influence of distinct sets of accessory proteins than from intrinsic differences in filament structure.
