Histone acetyltransferases (HATs) and ATP‐dependent chromatin remodeling factors (ADCRs) are involved in selective gene regulation via modulation of local chromatin configuration. Activation of the recombination hotspotade6‐M26ofSchizosaccharomyces pombeis mediated by a cAMP responsive element (CRE)‐like sequence,M26, and a heterodimeric ATF/CREB transcription factor, Atf1·Pcr1. Chromatin remodeling occurs meiotically aroundM26. We examined the roles of HATs and ADCRs in chromatin remodeling aroundM26. Histones H3 and H4 aroundM26were hyperacetylated in anM26‐ and Atf1‐dependent manner early in meiosis. SpGcn5, theS. pombehomolog of Gcn5p, was required for the majority of histone H3 acetylation aroundM26 in vivo. Deletion ofgcn5+caused a significant delay in chromatin remodeling but only partial reduction ofM26meiotic recombination frequency. Thesnf22+(a Swi2/Snf2‐ADCR homologue) deletion andsnf22+gcn5+double deletion abolished chromatin remodeling and significant reduction of meiotic recombination aroundM26.These results suggest that HATs and ADCRs cooperatively alter local chromatin structure, as in selective transcription activation, to activate meiotic recombination atM26in a site‐specific manner.
