HOP2 is a conserved protein that plays a positive role in homologous chromosome pairing and a separable role in preventing illegitimate connections between nonhomologous chromosome regions during meiosis. We employed ChIP-seq to discover that Arabidopsis HOP2 binds along the length of all chromosomes, except for centromeric and nucleolar organizer regions, and no binding sites were detected in the organelle genomes. A large number of reads were assigned to the HOP2 locus itself, yet TAIL-PCR and SNP analysis of the aligned sequences indicate that many of these reads originate from the transforming T-DNA, supporting the role of HOP2 in preventing nonhomologous exchanges. The 292 ChIP-seq peaks are largely found in promoter regions and downstream from genes, paralleling the distribution of recombination hotspots, and motif analysis revealed that there are several conserved sequences that are also enriched at crossover sites. We conducted coimmunoprecipitation of HOP2 followed by LC-MS/MS and found enrichment for several proteins, including some histone variants and modifications that are also known to be associated with recombination hotspots. We propose that HOP2 may be directed to chromatin motifs near double strand breaks, where homology checks are proposed to occur.
