Summary/Abstract
Homologous recombination is a chromosome repair process that plays essential roles in meiosis, the
specialized cell division that produces gametes. Defects in meiotic recombination are a leading cause of
infertility, pregnancy loss and congenital disease in humans. A major gap in our understanding of meiotic
recombination is the mechanism of the recombination-associated DNA synthesis (RADS) that is essential to
restore chromosome integrity. This knowledge gap persists because of inherent challenges to studying meiotic
RADS in vivo, in particular the essential nature of DNA replication factors, the need to study RADS in isolation
from chromosomal replication, and the requirement for special assays to measure RADS. These hurdles have
now been overcome using an innovative combination of chemical, real-time and molecular genetics tools in
budding yeast that enable acute inactivation of essential replication factors specifically during recombination,
and measurement of de novo DNA synthesis. This system utilizes an ATP-analog sensitive allele of the Cdc7
kinase (cdc7-as3) to synchronize cells after S-phase, but before recombination is initiated. Real-time
inactivation of essential replication factors is achieved using the auxin-inducible degron (AID) system, which
has been rewired and optimized for use in meiotic cells. To monitor RADS, newly synthesized DNA is labeled,
isolated and quantified using 5-ethynyl-2′-deoxyuridine (Edu) incorporation, biotin-azide click chemistry,
streptavidin purification and quantitative PCR (qPCR). Exploiting these tools, the long-term objectives of this
project are to understand the nature, function, mechanism and regulation of RADS. These objectives will be
pursued through three aims. Aim 1 will determine the role of RADS for both the DNA events of meiotic
recombination and the chromosomal events of meiotic prophase using the comprehensive battery of
molecular, genetic and cytological assays uniquely available in budding yeast. Aim 2 will test models of RADS
by delineating the replication factors involved and systematically analyzing their roles. Complementary studies
in mouse will analyze the localization and dynamics of replication factors at sites of recombination. Aim 3 will
identify and characterize factors involved in the recruitment of replication factors to recombination sites and the
regulation of RADS. Immunofluorescence cytology will be used to monitor chromosomal dynamics of
replication factors and determine the genetic requirements for their localization. The timing and extent of RADS
will be analyzed in strains mutant for factors predicted to modulate RADS, including meiosis-specific
recombination proteins, DNA helicases and topoisomerases. The results of these aims will provide
unprecedented insights into the mechanism and regulation of RADS, filling a major gap in our understanding of
meiotic recombination. These findings will be germane to understanding pathologies associated with human
meiosis, and are expected to define paradigms that are broadly relevant for chromosome repair.
