(Submitter supplied) 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. more...

(Submitter supplied) Every chromosome requires at least one crossover to be faithfully segregated during meiosis. At least two levels of regulation govern crossover distribution; where the initiating DNA double-strand breaks (DSBs) occur and whether those DSBs are repaired as crossovers. We mapped meiotic DSBs in budding yeast by identifying sites of DSB-associated single-stranded DNA (ssDNA) accumulation. These analyses revealed substantial DSB activity in regions close to centromeres, where crossover formation is largely absent. more...

(Submitter supplied) Meiotic chromosome architecture called “axis-loop structures” and histone modifications have been demonstrated to regulate the Spo11-dependent formation of DNA double-strand breaks (DSBs) that trigger meiotic recombination. Using genome-wide chromatin immunoprecipitation (ChIP) analyses followed by deep sequencing, we compared the genome-wide distribution of the axis protein Rec8 (the kleisin subunit of meiotic cohesin) with that of oligomeric DNA covalently bound to Spo11, indicative of DSB sites. more...

(Submitter supplied) Spo11-mediated DNA double strand breaks (DSBs) that initiate meiotic recombination are temporally and spatially controlled. The meiotic cohesin Rec8 has been implicated in regulating DSB formation, but little is known about the features of their interplay. To shed light on this point, we investigated the genome-wide localization of Spo11 in budding yeast during early meiosis by chromatin immunoprecipitation using high-density tiling arrays. more...

(Submitter supplied) The Spo11-generated double-strand breaks (DSBs) that initiate meiotic recombination are dangerous lesions that can disrupt genome integrity, so meiotic cells regulate their number, timing, and distribution. Here, we use Spo11-oligonucleotide complexes, a byproduct of DSB formation, to examine the contribution of the DNA damage-responsive kinase Tel1 (ortholog of mammalian ATM) to this regulation in Saccharomyces cerevisiae. more...

(Submitter supplied) Meiotic recombination is initiated by developmentally programmed DNA double-strand breaks (DSBs). In S. cerevisiae, the vast majority of DSBs occur in the nucleosome-depleted regions at gene promoters, where transcription factors (TFs) B296bind. It has been proposed that TF binding can stimulate DSB formation nearby by modulating local chromatin structure. However, a prior study in TF bas1 mutant suggested that the role of TF binding in determining break formation is complex. more...

(Submitter supplied) Meiotic recombination promotes genetic diversification as well as pairing and segregation of homologous chromosomes, but the double-strand breaks (DSBs) that initiate recombination are dangerous lesions that can cause mutation or meiotic failure. How cells control DSBs to balance between beneficial and deleterious outcomes is not well understood. This study tests the hypothesis that DSB control involves a network of intersecting regulatory circuits. more...

(Submitter supplied) Genomic features of DSB re-landscaping in rtf1 mutants. Histone modification is a critical determinant of frequency and location of double-strand breaks (DSBs), which induce recombination during meiosis. The Set1-dependent histone H3K4 and Dot1-dependent H3K79 methylations play an important role in DSB formations in budding yeast. Both methylations are promoted by the RNA polymerase II associated factor 1 (Paf1) complex, Paf1C. more...

(Submitter supplied) To segregate accurately during meiosis, homologous chromosomes in most species must recombine. Very small chromosomes would risk missegregation if recombination were randomly distributed, so the double-strand breaks (DSBs) that initiate recombination are not haphazard. How this nonrandomness is controlled is not understood. Here we demonstrate that Saccharomyces cerevisiae integrates multiple, temporally distinct pathways to regulate chromosomal binding of pro-DSB factors Rec114 and Mer2, thereby controlling duration of a DSB-competent state. more...

(Submitter supplied) In meiosis, an excess number of DNA double-strand breaks (DSBs), the initiating DNA lesion, is formed compared to the number of crossovers, one of their repair products that creates the physical links between homologs and allows their correct segregation. It is not known if all DSB hotspots are also crossover hotspots, or if the ratio between DSB and crossovers varies with the chromosomal location. Here, to systematically investigate variation in the DSB/crossover ratio, we have established the genome-wide map of the Zip3 protein binding sites in budding yeast meiosis. We show that Zip3 associates with DSB sites when these are engaged into repair by crossing over, and that Zip3 binding frequency at DSB reflects its tendency to be repaired as a crossover. We further show that the relative amount of Zip3 per DSB varies with the chromosomal location and identify chromosomal features associated with high or low Zip3 per DSB ratio. Among these is the negative regulation by proximity to a centromere and positive by the proximity to axis-associated sequences. This work opens interesting perspectives to understand the role of these extra DSB that are not frequently used for crossover and our findings may extend to mammals that have a large excess of DSB compared to crossovers.

(Submitter supplied) In the yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae, certain genomic regions have very high levels of meiotic recombination (hot spots). The hot spot activity associated with the HIS4 gene requires the Bas1p transcription factor. To determine whether this relationship between transcription factor binding and hot spot activity is general, we used DNA microarrays to map all genomic Bas1p binding sites and to map the frequency of meiosis-specific double-strand DNA breaks (as an estimate of the recombination activity) of all genes in both wild-type and bas1 strains. more...
