PRDM9: meiosis and recombination

Introduction

PRDM9 is a very peculiar gene on human chromosome 5 whose role -- after many false starts -- is only now becoming clear: scanning the genome with its 13 zinc fingers to mark recombination hotspots by its histone methylase where its transcription factor domain can direct additional proteins to initiate meiosis. Recombination between homologous chromosomes is essential to their proper alignment and separation into daughter cells.

Such a critical protein would normally be exceedingly conserved. However this is not the case at all. It proves exceedingly difficult to find a comprehensive set of PRDM9 orthologs in sequenced mammalian genomes, with immense confusion in the literature with other composite domain proteins with some overlap in domain content but no real homology.

Comparative genomics of PRDM9 and PRDM7

PRDM9 is one of many human proteins sharing a set of common domains, as well as various multiplicities of the zinc finger domain C2H2. The diagram at left shows an effort at organizing these into phylogenetic tree according to structural considerations of the SET domain these proteins all share.

The traditional SET domain is too small for an enzyme with distinctive substrates so flanking sequence must be added despite its lack of apparent conservation. Using S-adenosyl methionine, PRDM9 places the third methyl group only on the fourth position arginine in histone H3, one of many such epigenetic methylases in the human genome. The histone recognized by such methylases correlates poorly with evolutionary grouping by SET domain (figure).

The upper left corner shows the variability in domain structure. While PRDM9 and PRDM7 share the same domains (an upstream KRAB domain is not shown), of PR-class homologs, PRDM11 shares only the SET domain despite nesting deep within the PRDM9 subtree. PRDM4 has both the SET and C2H2 domains, possibly sharing the early C2H2 domain in an exon beginning with a phase 2 splice acceptor (as shown in reference sequence section). Overall however, PRDM9 and PRDM7 have no full length homologs with matching exon structure. Even the SET domain is intronated differently within PR-class proteins (with the sole exception of PRDM11), suggesting either ancient divergence or unusual evolution. These incongruities may have arisen from domain shuffling, gain and loss.

The human PRDM9 sequence below is annotated in color for domains relative to exon breaks. The protein can be best understood in terms of concatenated domains, not all of which may be present in antecedent and descendant homologs. The first two domains KRAB and SSXRD interact with transcription factors.

Each C2H2 domain -- so named for two cysteines and two histidines liganding to a structural zinc ion -- recognizes a specific trinucleotide (more or less) and so concatenated in a large array recognize specific binding sites along the genome, though tolerance of nucleotide variability and synergistic effects between adjacent units make it difficult to read out these sites precisely, despite immense efforts.

The concatenated C2H2 domains, conserved at the amino acid level so necessarily similar at the dna level, are prone to replication slippage. This process can give rise to point mutations as well as leading to a peaked distribution of repeat number rather than to a single number. Many other unrelated genes with internal repeats (such as the octapeptide region of the prion gene PRNP) are also affected by replication slippage. Such proteins regions are conveniently identified genomewide by mRNA dot plots.

The C2H2 domains generally reside in a long distinctive terminal exon of splicing phase 2 that has been shuffled over mammalian evolutionary time into various contexts. Concepts such as paralogy and orthology need piecewise definitions in these composite proteins. Synteny (gene adjacency) plays a major role in reliably deconstructing events in specific lineages.

Here the unrelated single-copy conserved gene GAS8 plays an important role. PRDM7 occurs immediately distal to it on the negative strand, making the two genes are convergently transcribed). PRDM7 is otherwise the last gene on the q arm of its chromosome in many species which may predispose it to copy number dispersal events. PRDM9 is not consistently located within placental mammals, suggesting independent relocation events.

Both PRDM9 and PRDM7 contain a seldom-mentioned C2H2 domain early in the exon annotated by SwissProt and readily found by the online domain tools regardless of species. This domain conserves the four critical residues needed for zinc binding (and so the associated fold) but lacks the terminal cap TGEKP which otherwise serves to lock down a C2H2 zinc finger after it has scanned along genomic dna to an appropriate trinucleotide. The function of this early domain and the following 112 residues are unknown -- no homologous 3D structure has ever been determined.

The first C2H2 of the main repeat region is proximaly degenerate, beginning in VKY in all species (instead of YCE). The tyrosine cannot plausibly replace the usual cysteine for zinc binding though the other three needed residues are present. This domain ends in a typical cap region TGEKP. Humans are the exception here where the conserved helix-ending proline has been replaced with leucine in the reference human genome with unknown functional consequences.

Divergence of SET domains:

Different segmental duplications relate PRDM9 and PRDM7

In humans, PRDM9 and PRDM7 are related by a 26 kbp segmental duplication that begins about 8 kbp upstream of the start codon and continues through most of the 3' UTR. Since the retroposon patterns are nearly identical, the duplication must be fairly recent. The overall percent identity of non-coding dna is about 93%, again inconsistent with either early (within stem placental or late divergence (post-chimpanzee). The duplication contains a potentially diagnostic 1845 bp retroposon-free region upstream of the first coding exon.

Note PRDM7 is situated at the extreme tip of chromosome 16q, perhaps predisposing it to chromosomal copy number rearrangements. The syntenic context is TUBB3+ DEFB+ AFG3L1+ DBNDD1- GAS8+ PRDM7- qTel, meaning it is transcribed convergently with GAS8, a non-homologous highly conserved single copy gene often detectable even in low coverage genomes in the small contig containing PRDM7. This association has been extremely stable over boreoeutheran placental mammal evolutionary time and so serves to reliably define PRDM7 orthologs and their spin-off copies. Elephants also have a gene pair similar to human PRDM9 and PRDM7. The former is at a syntenically novel site but the latter is an old pseudogene but still detectably adjacent to GAS8 in opposite orientation. It thus follows that 'PRDM9' in elephant is an independent earlier spin-off of its conventional PRDM7 gene. This is consistent with telomeric susceptibility to repeated rearrangements.

Recall here the actual definition of gene orthology: two genes in two species are orthologous if they are vertically descended from the same gene in their last common ancestor. Here the LCA of human and elephant is ur-placental mammal which had PRDM7 but no PRDM9. The two PRDM9 genes are thus not descended from a common ancestral PRDM9 gene but from parallel gene duplications of a common PRDM7 gene at different times in different clades during the course of mammalian speciation. Such genes are called in-paralogs within a given species and co-orthologs across them.

The syntenic context of PRDM9 is quite variable, supporting the scenario of multiple origins. This context can be used to count the number of distinct segmental duplications of PRDM7. For example, in humans, PRDM9 basically lies in a retroposon-rich gene desert but is eventually flanked by two pairs of cadherin genes at the much larger scale of 7 mbp. In rhesus, these same genes are seen (with some minor rearrangements), establishing that this PRDM9 segmental duplication preceded the divergence of old world monkeys.

Marmoset has a seemingly functional PRDM7 in the usual position facing GAS8, still at the extreme end of chromosome 20. The cadherin cluster is intact on chr2:178,954,165-180,696,523. However Blastx of the intervening dna -- which is similar in size to rhesus and human so not suggesting large deletions -- shows not even a suggestion of an old PRDM9 pseudogene. The assembly is gapless here. and Blastx is sensitive enough to detect very old pseudogenes provided they decayed by small indels and nucleotide substitutions. Thus it appears that PRDM7 never duplicated in marmoset -- placing that even in the stem to old world monkeys (or prior to tarsier divergence -- that assembly has poor coverage). Note that the marmoset PRDM7 has a respectable terminal zinc finger array of twelve units, enough to specify 36 bp.

Lemurs present a new complication. The Otolemur assembly has two distinct and seemingly functional PRDM7 copies (each with seven zinc fingers) containing GAS8 end-sequence in expected opposite orientation. One of the GAS8 copies appears to be a pseudogene. This represents a new type of lineage-specific segmental duplication. There is no sign of PRDM9. The other lemur with an assembly, Microcebus murinus, has but a single copy, again with seven zinc fingers. The only relevant contigs (ABDC01433247 and ABDC01371462) contain no coding syntenic information so this gene cannot be assigned to PRDM7 with certainty.

The tree shrew assembly, like tarsier, has low coverage and only blast matches to zinc finger arrays that cannot be assigned to the PRDM family. This cannot be totally attributed to low coverage because many ordinary genes are satisfactorily represented in these species. Other issues such as telomeric position, gene copy number (mobility), pseudogenization, deletional loss, chimerization, and individual heterozygosity must be affecting recovery of PRDM9 gene models in these species.

Moving on to laurasiatheres, Bos taurus presents a much more complicated situation. First, the GAS8 locus on chr18 contains the first two exons of a PRDM7 pseudogene in expected orientation but distal regions of the gene are completely deleted. The cadherin locus on chr20 is also intact but the 2.6 mbp region between CDH12 and CDH10 contains no indication of PRDM9, consistent with that segmental duplication being primate-specific and PRDM7 being the older parental location. This holds in the Baylor 4.0 assembly carried at UCSC, the Baylor 4.2 assembly, and the alternative assembly of the same data, UMD3.1. The latter two can be queried by the genomic [http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/genome/seq/BlastGen/BlastGen.cgi?taxid=9913 blast server} at NCBI.

A third locus on chr 1 hosts an unreviewed GenBank pipline entry called PRDM9, derived as NW_003053109 from the alternative bovine assembly UMD3.1 Staff corrected an unspecified frameshift to fix the reading frame -- a dangerous practise in a gene family so prone to pseudogenization. The gene, called PRDM9a here, resides on the extreme end of chromosome 1 and differs from the Baylor 4.0 assembly at two amino acids outside the zinc finger region. The syntenic context here is novel: EFHB- RAB5A+ PCAF+ ZNF596- PRDM9a- which corresponds overall to human chr 3. The juxtapositioning of two zinc finger proteins on the same strand causes PRDM9 alignments to extend spuriously into the 12 zinc fingers of ZNF596, jumping over its 5 earlier coding exons.

ZNF596 contains a KRAB domain but no SET methylase. Humans encode a best-blast protein of the same assigned name on chr 8 (77% identity). Note the early exons of ZNF596 can be added to end of PRDM9a to form an artificial probe for this association in other species, though the two genes have a 43,400 bp spacer in cow, which is large relative to contig size in low coverage assemblies. The sole fragmentary transcript from yak testis (EF432551) is nearly identical to this PRDM9a, suggesting that the gene -- and perhaps its syntenic location -- became established prior to yak-cow divergence and is still functional. However its array of seven zinc fingers could recognize at most a region of 21 bp.

ZNF596 did not arise from a PRDM9-like gene through loss of the SET domain, though it is one of the better matches within the large zinc finger family. Excluding the zinc finger domain, ZNF343, ZNF133 and ZNF169 provide much higher blastp scores, as they also do just comparing the zinc finger arrays. The juxtaposition of ZNF596 and PRDM9a is likely coincidental rather than a consequence of inhomogeneous recombination between zinc fingers bringing PRDM9 to this site.

The fourth PRDM9 locus of interest, called here PRDM9b, is still not mapped to any bovine chromosome. It resides in contig DAAA02065087 in the UMD3.1 assembly and is temporarily assigned to chr Un.004.649 at Baylor assembly. Here the reading frame in exon two can be restored if a run of 5 A's is corrected to 6 A's. That is done here in the reference sequences because this is typically just sequencing error. The protein has a full set of domains KRAB SSXRD SET C2H2 with a moderate zinc finger array of five. Synteny cannot be determined in chr Un features which can simply pool unrelated unplaceable contigs into a manageable unit. Flanking dna in DAAA02065087map to several places in the cow genome, suggesting this feature has copy number attributes, perhaps of telomeric repeat type. PRDM9b is not a recent feature because it differs at a considerable number of amino acids from other PRDM9 in the cow genome. These substitutions avoid highly conserved residues, not consistent with early pseudogenization. PRDM9b is capable of histone marking but it is not clear whether that has functional significance to meiosis.

Yet another locus in the Baylor 4.0 assembly, called PRDM9c here, could not initially be placed on a cow chromosome. While such features are often assembly artefacts, this one is supported by a transcript from 4-cell embryos (GO353654) consistent with a role in or after meiosis. In UMD3.1, this gene has been placed on chr X. Despite a very large contig, no zinc fingers occur in any reading frame, suggesting that the gene was transferred here without the last exon (or it subsequently got deleted). In any event, the penultimate exon does not have a phase 1 splice donor in expected position and so terminates at the next stop codon downstream. The protein retains the KRAB, SSXRD and SET domains but does not possess the ability to scan or bind dna. It has accrued various amino acid substitutions relative to other bovine that rule out recent establishment.

Finally, two additional genes, denoted PRDM9d and PRDM9e here, are located as a parallel tandem pair in a higher quality region of bovine chr X. These are 96% identical as proteins, consistent with one being derived fairly recently from the other. Synteny here will not be informative until other ruminant genomes become available.

Overall the situation in cow is very different from primates and rodents. Results there about the function of single-copy autosomal PRDM9 gnes in meiosis markup can scarcely be carried over to a species with five seemingly intact genes, three of which are on chr X (which intriguingly has the very limited pseudoautosomal region on chr Y where it can cross over).

The cow situation cannot be limited to the Hereford breed used for the genome project because the PRDM9 are too diverged from one another outside the zinc finger region. Indeed there is some suggestion from sheep genome that it too has many of these copies. However other cetartiodactyl genomes (dolphin, pig and alpaca) and other laurasiatheres (panda, dog, cat, shrew, bats) do not show these copies, suggesting that this complexity could be limited to pecoran ruminants. All-vs-all blastp percent identities are consistent with this, though rates of evolution in this gene family are hardly typical.This cannot be resolved with cow genome alone -- there is no good candidate still present for parent gene to all these copies. These results are summarized in the table below:

Structural considerations in C2H2 zinc fingers

High resolution structures of C2H2 zinc finger domains have been available for decades. As the name suggests, the divalent zinc atom locks the two cysteines and two histidines into a rigid geometry providing a core conformation that a small peptide of 28 residues could not otherwise stably assume. Note in the unbound state, finger tips must retain flexibility while the domain ensemble scans its genome for specific dna sequences appropriate to its function. Each finger binds a trinucleotide -- in effect making a zinc finger the protein counterpart to tRNA anticodon. However overall binding is not a simple read-off code because adjacent fingers alter each other's specificities in subtle ways.

The linker region TGEKP plays a key role when the correct DNA sequence is encountered, snap-locking its finger down onto its target by capping the C-terminus of its alpha helix. A hydrogen bond between the first threonine and middle glutamate is key to this binding-induced conformational shift. From comparative genomics, it appears that a serine in first position can also form this hydrogen bond. The role of the glycine is to stay out of the way; the lysine counterbalances the negative charge of the glutamate; the proline terminates any helical propensity, allowing a fresh start in the adjacent finger.

While this motif is immensely conserved within C2H2 zinc finger of PDRM9 homologs, exceptions do occur. It is important to understand these because these loss of dna lock-down could loosen or even eliminate trinucleotide binding specificity. Such steps might represent initial stages of pseudogenization. However many exceptions occur within the first or last fingers. It is also common for fragmentary and imperfect motifs to end the protein, sometimes continuing on in another reading frame past the current stop codon.

Note in aligning zinc finger motifs, the breaks should always be put at the end of the linker region. It is completely illogical to break at the first cysteine as some authors do because capping by the linker region is specific to its zinc finger, not the following one.

Curated reference sequences

The sequences below have been compiled from genome projects -- only rarely do validating transcripts exist at GenBank. Sequences with a single frameshift or other glitch have been edited to allow full length proteins on the theory that the error either reflects an aberrant atypical individual chosen for sequencing or simple error in low coverage projects within a difficult repeat region. However such sequences may instead reflect early stages of pseudogenization. Many sequences are in fact clearly pseudogenes; here recognizable exons have been collected to allow rough dating of loss of function.

In the case of more intensively studied species such as human and mouse, the number of C2H2 repeats varies widely. Only the most common representative is shown here. This variation likely occurs in all species but the individual animal chosen for sequencing may or may not be typical. Many clades have distinctive patterns of gene amplification and gene loss, making both orthologous and functional comparisons problematic.

Other useful sequences such as the GAS8 synteny neighbor, other zinc finger quasi-homologs having similar exon and domain structures, and bogus orthologs outside of mammals are also included for reference purposes.
