Cell cycle length governs heterochromatin reprogramming during early development in non-mammalian vertebrates


ABSTRACT: Heterochromatin marks such as H3K9me3 undergo global erasure and re-establishment after fertilization, and the proper reprogramming of H3K9me3 is essential for early development. Despite the widely conserved dynamics of heterochromatin reprogramming in invertebrates and non-mammalian vertebrates, previous studies have shown that the underlying mechanisms may differ between species. Here, we investigate the molecular mechanism of H3K9me3 dynamics in medaka (Japanese killifish, Oryzias latipes) as a non-mammalian vertebrate model, and show that rapid cell cycle during cleavage stages causes DNA replication-dependent passive erasure of H3K9me3. We also find that cell cycle slowing, toward the mid-blastula transition, permits increasing nuclear accumulation of H3K9me3 histone methyltransferase Setdb1, leading to the onset of H3K9me3 re-accumulation. We further demonstrate that cell cycle length in early development also governs H3K9me3 reprogramming in zebrafish and Xenopus laevis. Together with the previous studies in invertebrates, we propose that a cell cycle length-dependent mechanism for both global erasure and re-accumulation of H3K9me3 is conserved among rapid-cleavage species of non-mammalian vertebrates and invertebrates such as Drosophila, C. elegans, Xenopus and teleost fish.
