Widespread enhancer dememorization and promoter priming during parental-to-zygotic transition

ABSTRACT: The epigenome plays critical roles in controlling gene expression and development. However, how the parental epigenomes transit to the zygotic epigenome in early development remains elusive. Here, we show parental-to-zygotic transition in zebrafish involves extensive erasure of parental epigenetic memory starting by methylating gametic enhancers. Surprisingly, this occurs even prior to fertilization for sperm. Both parental enhancers lose histone marks by the 4-cell stage, and zygotic enhancers are not activated until around zygotic genome activation (ZGA). By contrast, many promoters remain hypomethylated and, unexpectedly, acquire de novo histone acetylation as early as at the 4-cell stage. They then resolve into either activated or repressed promoters upon ZGA. Maternal depletion of histone acetyltransferases results in aberrant ZGA and early embryonic lethality. Finally, such reprogramming is largely driven by maternal factors with zygotic products contributing to embryonic enhancer activation. Thus, these data revealed widespread enhancer dememorization and promoter priming during parental-to-zygotic transition.

Ultrasensitive proteomics depicted an in-depth landscape for the very early stage of mouse maternal-to-zygotic transition

Project description:Maternal-to-zygotic transition (MZT) is a conserved and fundamental process during which the maternal environment of oocyte transits to the zygotic genome driven expression program, and terminally differentiated oocyte and sperm are reprogrammed to totipotency. Metaphase II (MII) oocytes and zygotes (one-cell embryo) serve as the mature oocyte and the initiation of pre-implantation embryo development respectively, and characterizing their molecular landscapes at protein levels plays an important role in uncovering MZT and zygotic genome activation (ZGA )in mammals. Here we used an ultrasensitive proteomic approach to depict an in-depth landscape for the very early stage of mouse MZT.

Quantitative proteomics reveals the dynamic proteome landscape of zebrafish embryos during maternal-to-zygotic transition and its relationship to zygotic genome activation

Project description:Upon fertilization, the embryonic genome remains transcriptionally inactive until the mid-blastula transition. Zygotic genome activation (ZGA) of vertebrate embryos has been extensively studied using nucleic acid-based strategies, but proteomics data are still scarce, impeding the full mechanistic understanding of how ZGA is executed during the maternal-to-zygotic transition (MZT). Here, we performed quantitative proteomics to decipher the proteome landscape of zebrafish embryos during the MZT, quantifying nearly 5,000 proteins across four embryonic stages. The stage-specific clustering based on protein expression pattern revealed that helicases (i.e., eif4a2 and ruvbl1) facilitate pluripotency factors (i.e., nanog, pou5f3, ctcf, and hmga1) triggering ZGA in zebrafish, accompanied by the maternal product decay with P-bodies and ubiquitin dependent proteolytic pathway. Dozens of transcription factors show wave-like expression patterns during MZT, implying their diverse functions in triggering the ZGA and modulating differentiation for organ development. The combination of morpholino knockdown and quantitative proteomics demonstrated that maternal Nanog is required for proper embryogenesis by regulating 1) interactions with other pluripotency factors, 2) F-actin band formation, 3) cell cycle checkpoints and 4) maternal product degradation. This study represents the most systematic proteomics survey of developmentally regulated proteins and their expression profiles accompanying MZT in zebrafish, which is a valuable proteome resource for understanding ZGA.

OBOX regulates murine zygotic genome activation and early development

Project description:Zygotic genome activation (ZGA) activates the quiescent genome to enable the maternal-to-zygotic transition. However, the identity of transcription factors (TFs) that underlie mammalian ZGA in vivo remains unresolved. Here, we showed that OBOX, a PRD-like homeobox domain TF family that includes 66 members (OBOX1-8), are key regulators of mouse ZGA. Knockout mice deficient for maternally transcribed Obox1/2/5/7 and zygotically expressed Obox3/4 led to 2-4 cell arrest accompanied by impaired ZGA. Maternal and zygotic expressed OBOX redundantly support embryonic development as Obox KO defects can be rescued by restoring either of them. Chromatin binding analysis revealed Obox knockout preferentially affected OBOX-binding targets. Mechanistically, OBOX facilitated RNA Pol II ?pre-configuration?, as Pol II relocates from the initial 1-cell binding targets to ZGA gene promoters and distal enhancers. The impaired Pol II pre-configuration in Obox mutants was accompanied by downregulation of ZGA genes, chromatin accessibility transition defects, as well as aberrant activation of one-cell Pol II targets. Finally, OBOX ectopically activated ZGA genes and MERVL in mESCs. Hence, these data demonstrate that OBOX regulates murine ZGA and early embryogenesis.

Dynamic RNA-protein interactions underlie the zebrafish maternal-to-zygotic transition

Project description:During the maternal-to-zygotic transition (MZT), transcriptionally silent embryos rely on post-transcriptional regulation of maternal mRNAs until zygotic genome activation (ZGA). RNA-binding proteins (RBPs) are important regulators of post-transcriptional RNA processing events, yet their identities and functions during developmental transitions in vertebrates remain largely unexplored. Using mRNA interactome capture, we identified 227 RBPs in zebrafish embryos before and during ZGA, hereby named the zebrafish MZT mRNAbound proteome. This protein constellation consists of many conserved RBPs, with additional embryo- and stage-specific mRNA interactors that likely reflect the dynamics of RNA-protein interactions during MZT. The enrichment of numerous splicing factors like hnRNP proteins before ZGA was surprising, because maternal mRNAs were found to be fully spliced. To address potentially unique roles of RBPs in embryogenesis, we focused on hnRNP A1. iCLIP and subsequent mRNA reporter assays revealed a function for hnRNP A1 in the regulation of poly(A) tail length and translation of maternal mRNAs through sequence-specific association with 3’UTRs before ZGA. Comparison of iCLIP data from two developmental stages revealed that hnRNP A1 dissociates from maternal mRNAs at ZGA and instead regulates the nuclear processing of pri-miR-430 transcripts, which we validated experimentally. The shift from cytoplasmic to nuclear RNA targets was accompanied by a dramatic translocation of hnRNP A1 and other pre-mRNA splicing factors to the nucleus in a transcription-dependent manner. Thus, our study identifies global changes in RNA-protein interactions during vertebrate MZT and shows that hnRNP A1 RNA-binding activities are spatially and temporally coordinated to regulate RNA metabolism during early development.

Maternal to zygotic transition：A two-step process with two phases of ZGA occurs in zygote right after fertilization in Arabidopsis

Project description:The goal of the present study is to analyze the characteristics of maternal to zygotic transition (MZT) in Arabidopsis. The maternal-to-zygotic transition (MZT) is an essential developmental turning point during the alternation of generations in both plants and animals. In animals, early embryogenesis is maternally controlled and zygotic genome activation (ZGA) starts much later. However, in plants, the timing of MZT and parental contributions to the zygotic transcriptome remain unclear. To address above mentioned questions, we selected Arabidopsis as model plant for the analysis. Regarding to the characteristics of MZT, egg cells, embryos including spherical zygote, elongated zygote, 1-cell embryo and 32-cell embryo were isolated and collected for RNA sequencing. Hybrid zygotes at two representative stages from the reciprocal crosses between polymorphic Arabidopsis Columbia (Col) and Landsberg erecta (Ler) accessions were also sequenced for investigating the parental contributions. We demonstrate that plant MZT occurs during the zygote stage and is a two-step process, first involving rapid maternal transcript degradation and, second, large-scale de novo transcription. Parental contributions to the zygotic transcriptome are stage dependent over the course of zygote development; the spherical zygote is characterized by a maternally dominated transcriptome, whereas the elongated zygote genome shows equal parental contributions.

Developmental features of DNA methylation during activation of the embryonic zebrafish genome

Project description:Zygotic genome activation (ZGA) occurs at the mid-blastula transition (MBT) in zebrafish and is a period of chromatin remodeling. Genome-scale gametic demethylation and remethylation occurs after fertilization, during blastula stages, but how ZGA relates to promoter DNA methylation states is unknown. Using methylated DNA immunoprecipitation coupled to high-density microarray hybridization (MeDIP-ChIP), we characterize genome-wide promoter DNA methylation dynamics before, during and after ZGA onset, in relation changes in post-translational histone modification and gene expression (Series GSE22830). A Kolmogorov-Smirnov (KS) test was applied with P <= 0.01 to identify methylation peaks.

Maternal TDP-43 interacts with RNA Pol II and regulates zygotic genome activation

Project description:Zygotic genome activation (ZGA) is essential for early embryonic development. However, the regulation of ZGA remains elusive in mammals. Here we report that a maternal factor TDP-43, a nuclear transactive response DNA-binding protein, regulates ZGA through RNA Pol II and is essential for mouse early embryogenesis. Maternal TDP-43 translocates from the cytoplasm into the nucleus at the early two-cell stage when minor to major ZGA transition occurs. Genetic deletion of maternal TDP-43 results in mouse early embryos arrested at late two-cell stage and female infertile. TDP-43 co-occupies with RNA Pol II as large foci in the nucleus and also at the promoters of ZGA genes at the late two-cell stage. Biochemical evidence indicates that TDP-43 binds Polr2a and Cyclin T1. Depletion of maternal TDP-43 caused the loss of Pol II foci and reduced Pol II binding on chromatin at major ZGA genes, accompanied by defective ZGA. Collectively, our results suggest that maternal TDP-43 is critical for mouse early embryonic development, in part through facilitating the correct RNA Pol II configuration and zygotic genome activation.

Nanog, SoxB1 and Pou5f1/Oct4 regulate widespread zygotic gene activation during the maternal-to-zygotic transition

Project description:Upon fertilization, maternal factors direct development in a transcriptionally silent embryo. At the maternal-to-zygotic transition (MZT), a universal step in animal development, unknown maternal factors trigger zygotic genome activation (ZGA). In zebrafish, ZGA is required for gastrulation and clearance of maternal mRNAs, which is achieved in part by the conserved microRNA miR-430. However, the precise factors that activate the zygotic program remain largely unknown. Here we show that Nanog, Pou5f1 and SoxB1 are required for genome activation in zebrafish. We identified several hundred genes directly activated by maternal factors, thus constituting the first wave of zygotic transcription in zebrafish. Ribosome profiling in the pre-MZT embryo revealed that nanog, sox19b and pou5f1 are the most highly translated transcription factor mRNAs. Combined loss of function for Nanog, SoxB1 and Pou5f1 resulted in developmental arrest prior to gastrulation, and a failure to activate >75% of zygotic genes. Furthermore, we found that Nanog binds the miR-430 locus and together with Pou5f1 and SoxB1 initiate miR-430 expression and activity. Our results demonstrate that maternal Nanog, Pou5f1 and SoxB1 are required to initiate the zygotic developmental program and in turn trigger the clearance of the maternal program by activating miR-430 expression.

PRMT6 knockdown effects on the early zebrafish development

Project description:Zygotic genome activation (ZGA), which is according to the midblastula transition in zebrafish, is an important event during the maternal-zygotic transition in animals. Our preliminary study and other groupâs works indicate that epigenetic regulations play an essential role in ZGA. Morpholino was employed to knockdown PRMT6. We used microarrays to analyze the global gene expression in prmt6 morphants. prmt6 MO (0.3mM) was injected into the one-two cell zebrafish, prmt6 cMO (0.3mM) injection as a control. At 6 hpf, embryos were classified into three subtypes (normal, mild and severe) and prepared for global gene expression analysis with Affymetrix Zebrafish Genome Arrays. The severe subtype and the control were repeated three times.

Resetting histone modifications during human parental-to-zygotic transition

Project description:Histone modifications regulate gene expression and development. To address how they are reprogrammed in human early development, we investigated key histone marks in human oocytes and early embryos. Unlike that in mouse, the permissive mark H3K4me3 largely exhibits canonical patterns at promoters in human oocytes. After fertilization, pre-zygotic genome activation (ZGA) embryos acquire permissive chromatin and widespread H3K4me3 in CpG-rich regulatory regions. By contrast, the repressive mark H3K27me3 undergoes global depletion. CpG-rich regulatory regions then resolve to either active or repressed states upon ZGA, followed by subsequent restoration of H3K27me3 at developmental genes. Finally, through combining chromatin and transcriptome maps, we revealed transcription circuitry and asymmetric H3K27me3 patterning during early lineage specification. Collectively, our data unveil a priming phase connecting human parental-to-zygotic epigenetic transition.
