Abstract
Histone post-translational modifications, such as phosphorylation, methylation, acetylation, and ubiquitination, play vital roles in various chromatin-based cellular processes. Meiosis is crucial for organisms that depend on sexual reproduction to produce haploid gametes, during which chromatin undergoes intricate conformational changes. An increasing body of evidence is clarifying the essential roles of histone post-translational modifications during meiotic divisions. In this review, we concentrate on the post-translational modifications of H2A, H2B, H3, and H4, as well as the linker histone H1, that are required for meiosis, and summarize recent progress in understanding how these modifications influence diverse meiotic events. Finally, challenges and exciting open questions for future research in this field are discussed. Summary Sentence Diverse histone post-translational modifications exert important effects on the meiotic cell cycle and these "histone codes" in meiosis might lead to the development of novel therapeutic strategies against reproductive diseases.

ZFP541 and KCTD19 regulate chromatin organization and transcription programs for male meiotic progression. Cell Prolif 2024; 57:e13567. [PMID: 37921559 PMCID: PMC10984108 DOI: 10.1111/cpr.13567] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/11/2023] [Revised: 10/06/2023] [Accepted: 10/10/2023] [Indexed: 11/04/2023] Open
Abstract
The successful progression of meiosis prophase I requires integrating information from the structural and molecular levels. In this study, we show that ZFP541 and KCTD19 work in the same genetic pathway to regulate the progression of male meiosis and thus fertility. The Zfp541 and/or Kctd19 knockout male mice show various structural and recombination defects including detached chromosome ends, aberrant localization of chromosome axis components and recombination proteins, and globally altered histone modifications. Further analyses on RNA-seq, ChIP-seq, and ATAC-seq data provide molecular evidence for the above defects and reveal that ZFP541/KCTD19 activates the expression of many genes by repressing several major transcription repressors. More importantly, we reveal an unexpected role of ZFP541/KCTD19 in directly modulating chromatin organization. These results suggest that ZFP541/KCTD19 simultaneously regulates the transcription cascade and chromatin organization to ensure the coordinated progression of multiple events at chromosome structural and biochemical levels during meiosis prophase I.

Abstract
Meiotic recombination shows broad variations across species and along chromosomes and is often suppressed at and around genomic regions determining sexual compatibility such as mating type loci in fungi. Here, we show that the absence of Spo11-DSBs and meiotic recombination on Lakl0C-left, the chromosome arm containing the sex locus of the Lachancea kluyveri budding yeast, results from the absence of recruitment of the two chromosome axis proteins Red1 and Hop1, essential for proper Spo11-DSBs formation. Furthermore, cytological observation of spread pachytene meiotic chromosomes reveals that Lakl0C-left does not undergo synapsis. However, we show that the behavior of Lakl0C-left is independent of its particularly early replication timing and is not accompanied by any peculiar chromosome structure as detectable by Hi-C in this yet poorly studied yeast. Finally, we observed an accumulation of heterozygous mutations on Lakl0C-left and a sexual dimorphism of the haploid meiotic offspring, supporting a direct effect of this absence of meiotic recombination on L. kluyveri genome evolution and fitness. Because suppression of meiotic recombination on sex chromosomes is widely observed across eukaryotes, the mechanism for recombination suppression described here may apply to other species, with the potential to impact sex chromosome evolution.

Abstract
The raison d'être of meiosis is shuffling of genetic information via Mendelian segregation and, within individual chromosomes, by DNA crossing-over. These outcomes are enabled by a complex cellular program in which interactions between homologous chromosomes play a central role. We first provide a background regarding the basic principles of this program. We then summarize the current understanding of the DNA events of recombination and of three processes that involve whole chromosomes: homolog pairing, crossover interference, and chiasma maturation. All of these processes are implemented by direct physical interaction of recombination complexes with underlying chromosome structures. Finally, we present convergent lines of evidence that the meiotic program may have evolved by coupling of this interaction to late-stage mitotic chromosome morphogenesis.

ATF7IP2, a meiosis-specific partner of SETDB1, is required for proper chromosome remodeling and crossover formation during spermatogenesis. Cell Rep 2023; 42:112953. [PMID: 37542719 DOI: 10.1016/j.celrep.2023.112953] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/10/2023] [Revised: 06/25/2023] [Accepted: 07/24/2023] [Indexed: 08/07/2023] Open
Abstract
Meiotic crossovers are required for the faithful segregation of homologous chromosomes and to promote genetic diversity. However, it is unclear how crossover formation is regulated, especially on the XY chromosomes, which show a homolog only at the tiny pseudoautosomal region. Here, we show that ATF7IP2 is a meiosis-specific ortholog of ATF7IP and a partner of SETDB1. In the absence of ATF7IP2, autosomes show increased axis length and more crossovers; however, many XY chromosomes lose the obligatory crossover, although the overall XY axis length is also increased. Additionally, meiotic DNA double-strand break formation/repair may also be affected by altered histone modifications. Ultimately, spermatogenesis is blocked, and male mice are infertile. These findings suggest that ATF7IP2 constraints autosomal axis length and crossovers on autosomes; meanwhile, it also modulates XY chromosomes to establish meiotic sex chromosome inactivation for cell-cycle progression and to ensure XY crossover formation during spermatogenesis.

Abstract
During the repair of DNA double-strand breaks (DSBs), de novo synthesized DNA strands can displace the parental strand to generate single-strand DNAs (ssDNAs). Many programmed DSBs and thus many ssDNAs occur during meiosis. However, it is unclear how these ssDNAs are removed for the complete repair of meiotic DSBs. Here, we show that meiosis-specific depletion of Dna2 (dna2-md) results in an abundant accumulation of RPA and an expansion of RPA from DSBs to broader regions in Saccharomyces cerevisiae. As a result, DSB repair is defective and spores are inviable, although the levels of crossovers/non-crossovers seem to be unaffected. Furthermore, Dna2 induction at pachytene is highly effective in removing accumulated RPA and restoring spore viability. Moreover, the depletion of Pif1, an activator of polymerase δ required for meiotic recombination-associated DNA synthesis, and Pif1 inhibitor Mlh2 decreases and increases RPA accumulation in dna2-md, respectively. In addition, blocking DNA synthesis during meiotic recombination dramatically decreases RPA accumulation in dna2-md. Together, our findings show that meiotic DSB repair requires Dna2 to remove ssDNA-RPA filaments generated from meiotic recombination-associated DNA synthesis. Additionally, we showed that Dna2 also regulates DSB-independent RPA distribution.

Abstract
Reshuffling of genetic variation occurs both by independent assortment of chromosomes and by homologous recombination. Such reshuffling can generate novel allele combinations and break linkage between advantageous and deleterious variants which increases both the potential and the efficacy of natural selection. Here we used high-density linkage maps to characterize global and regional recombination rate variation in two populations of the wood white butterfly (Leptidea sinapis) that differ considerably in their karyotype as a consequence of at least 27 chromosome fissions and fusions. The recombination data were compared to estimates of genetic diversity and measures of selection to assess the relationship between chromosomal rearrangements, crossing over, maintenance of genetic diversity and adaptation. Our data show that the recombination rate is influenced by both chromosome size and number, but that the difference in the number of crossovers between karyotypes is reduced as a consequence of a higher frequency of double crossovers in larger chromosomes. As expected from effects of selection on linked sites, we observed an overall positive association between recombination rate and genetic diversity in both populations. Our results also revealed a significant effect of chromosomal rearrangements on the rate of intergenic diversity change between populations, but limited effects on polymorphisms in coding sequence. We conclude that chromosomal rearrangements can have considerable effects on the recombination landscape and consequently influence both maintenance of genetic diversity and efficiency of selection in natural populations.

Abstract
Interference exists ubiquitously in many biological processes. Crossover interference patterns meiotic crossovers, which are required for faithful chromosome segregation and evolutionary adaption. However, what the interference signal is and how it is generated and regulated is unknown. We show that yeast top2 alleles which cannot bind or cleave DNA accumulate a higher level of negative supercoils and show weaker interference. However, top2 alleles which cannot religate the cleaved DNA or release the religated DNA accumulate less negative supercoils and show stronger interference. Moreover, the level of negative supercoils is negatively correlated with crossover interference strength. Furthermore, negative supercoils preferentially enrich at crossover-associated Zip3 regions before the formation of meiotic DNA double-strand breaks, and regions with more negative supercoils tend to have more Zip3. Additionally, the strength of crossover interference and homeostasis change coordinately in mutants. These findings suggest that the accumulation and relief of negative supercoils pattern meiotic crossovers.

Abstract
Chromosomes adopt specific conformations to regulate various cellular processes. A well-documented chromosome configuration is the highly compacted chromosome structure during metaphase. More regional chromatin conformations have also been reported, including topologically associated domains encompassing mega-bases of DNA and local chromatin loops formed by kilo-bases of DNA. In this review, we discuss the changes in chromatin conformation taking place between somatic and meiotic cells, with a special focus on the establishment of a proteinaceous structure, called the chromosome axis, at the beginning of meiosis. The chromosome axis is essential to support key meiotic processes such as chromosome pairing, homologous recombination, and balanced chromosome segregation to transition from a diploid to a haploid stage. We review the role of the chromosome axis in meiotic chromatin organization and provide a detailed description of its protein composition. We also review the conserved and distinct roles between species of axis proteins in meiotic recombination, which is a major factor contributing to the creation of genetic diversity and genome evolution. Finally, we discuss situations where the chromosome axis is deregulated and evaluate the effects on genome integrity and the consequences from protein deregulation in meiocytes exposed to heat stress, and aberrant expression of genes encoding axis proteins in mammalian somatic cells associated with certain types of cancers.

Abstract
The genomic landscape of recombination plays an essential role in evolution. Patterns of recombination are highly variable along chromosomes, between sexes, individuals, populations, and species. In many eukaryotes, recombination rates are elevated in sub-telomeric regions and drastically reduced near centromeres, resulting in large low-recombining (LR) regions. The processes of recombination are influenced by genetic factors, such as different alleles of genes involved in meiosis and chromatin structure, as well as external environmental stimuli like temperature and overall stress. In this work, we focused on the genomic landscapes of recombination in a collection of 916 rye (Secale cereale) individuals. By analysing population structure among individuals of different domestication status and geographic origin, we detected high levels of admixture, reflecting the reproductive biology of a self-incompatible, wind-pollinating grass species. We then analysed patterns of recombination in overlapping subpopulations, which revealed substantial variation in the physical size of LR regions, with a tendency for larger LR regions in domesticated subpopulations. Genome-wide association scans (GWAS) for LR region size revealed a major quantitative-trait-locus (QTL) at which, among 18 annotated genes, an ortholog of histone H4 acetyltransferase ESA1 was located. Rye individuals belonging to domesticated subpopulations showed increased synaptonemal complex length, but no difference in crossover frequency, indicating that only the recombination landscape is different. Furthermore, the genomic region harbouring rye ScESA1 showed moderate patterns of selection in domesticated subpopulations, suggesting that larger LR regions were indirectly selected for during domestication to achieve more homogeneous populations for agricultural use.

Abstract
Meiotic crossover recombination is required for faithful chromosome segregation and promotes genetic diversity by reshuffling alleles between parental chromosomes. Meiotic chromosomes are organized into arrays of loops that are anchored to the proteinaceous axes. The length of the meiotic chromosome axis is intimately associated with crossover frequencies in yeast and higher eukaryotes. However, how chromosome axis length is regulated in meiosis is unknown. Here, we demonstrate that cohesin regulator Pds5 interacts with proteasomes to regulate meiotic chromosome axis length by modulating ubiquitination. This regulatory mechanism also includes two ubiquitin E3 ligases, SCF (Skp–Cullin–F-box) and Ufd4. These findings identify a molecular pathway in regulating chromosome organization and reveal an unexpected function of the ubiquitin–proteasome system in meiosis. Meiotic crossover (CO) recombination is tightly regulated by chromosome architecture to ensure faithful chromosome segregation and to reshuffle alleles between parental chromosomes for genetic diversity of progeny. However, regulation of the meiotic chromosome loop/axis organization is poorly understood. Here, we identify a molecular pathway for axis length regulation. We show that the cohesin regulator Pds5 can interact with proteasomes. Meiosis-specific depletion of proteasomes and/or Pds5 results in a similarly shortened chromosome axis, suggesting proteasomes and Pds5 regulate axis length in the same pathway. Protein ubiquitination is accumulated in pds5 and proteasome mutants. Moreover, decreased chromosome axis length in these mutants can be largely rescued by decreasing ubiquitin availability and thus decreasing protein ubiquitination. Further investigation reveals that two ubiquitin E3 ligases, SCF (Skp–Cullin–F-box) and Ufd4, are involved in this Pds5–ubiquitin/proteasome pathway to cooperatively control chromosome axis length. These results support the hypothesis that ubiquitination of chromosome proteins results in a shortened chromosome axis, and cohesin–Pds5 recruits proteasomes onto chromosomes to regulate ubiquitination level and thus axis length. These findings reveal an unexpected role of the ubiquitin–proteasome system in meiosis and contribute to our knowledge of how Pds5 regulates meiotic chromosome organization. A conserved regulatory mechanism probably exists in higher eukaryotes.

Abstract
Meiotic crossover (CO) recombination between homologous chromosomes regulates chromosome segregation and promotes genetic diversity. Human females have different CO patterns than males, and some of these features contribute to the high frequency of chromosome segregation errors. In this study, we show that CO covariation is transmitted to progenies without detectable selection in both human males and females. Further investigations show that chromosome pairs with longer axes tend to have stronger axis length covariation and a stronger correlation between axis length and CO number, and the consequence of these two effects would be the stronger CO covariation as observed in females. These findings reveal a previously unsuspected feature for chromosome organization: long chromosome axes are more coordinately regulated than short ones. Additionally, the stronger CO covariation may work with human female-specific CO maturation inefficiency to confer female germlines the ability to adapt to changing environments on evolution.

Abstract
Meiosis is the foundation of sexual reproduction, and crossover recombination is one hallmark of meiosis. Crossovers establish the physical connections between homolog chromosomes (homologs) for their proper segregation and exchange DNA between homologs to promote genetic diversity in gametes and thus progenies. Aberrant crossover patterns, e.g. absence of the obligatory crossover, are the leading cause of infertility, miscarriage, and congenital disease. Therefore, crossover patterns have to be tightly controlled. During meiosis, loop/axis organized chromosomes provide the structural basis and regulatory machinery for crossover patterning. Accumulating evidence shows that chromosome axis length regulates not only the numbers but also the positions of crossovers. In addition, recent studies suggest that alterations in axis length and the resultant alterations in crossover frequency may contribute to evolutionary adaptation. Here, current advances regarding these issues are reviewed, the possible mechanisms for axis length regulating crossover frequency are discussed, and important issues that need further investigations are suggested.
