When cells enter meiosis, their chromosomes reorganize as linear arrays of
chromatin loops anchored to a central axis. Meiotic chromosome axes form a
platform for the assembly of the synaptonemal complex (SC) and play central roles
in other meiotic processes, including homologous pairing, recombination, and
chromosome segregation. However, little is known about the 3D organization of
components within the axes, which include cohesin complexes and additional
meiosis-specific proteins. Here, we investigate the molecular organization of
meiotic chromosome axes in Caenorhabditis elegans through STORM (stochastic
optical reconstruction microscopy) and PALM (photo-activated localization
microscopy) superresolution imaging of intact germ-line tissue. By tagging one
axis protein (HIM-3) with a photoconvertible fluorescent protein, we established
a spatial reference for other components, which were localized using antibodies
against epitope tags inserted by CRISPR/Cas9 genome editing. Using 3D averaging,
we determined the position of all known components within synapsed chromosome
axes to high spatial precision in three dimensions. We find that meiosis-specific
HORMA domain proteins span a gap between cohesin complexes and the central region
of the SC, consistent with their essential roles in SC assembly. Our data further
suggest that the two different meiotic cohesin complexes are distinctly arranged
within the axes: Although cohesin complexes containing the kleisin REC-8 protrude
above and below the plane defined by the SC, complexes containing COH-3 or -4
kleisins form a central core, which may physically separate sister chromatids.
This organization may help to explain the role of the chromosome axes in
promoting interhomolog repair of meiotic double-strand breaks by inhibiting
intersister repair.
