Early genome activation in Drosophila is extensive with an initial tendency for aborted transcripts and retained introns

ABSTRACT: Control of metazoan embryogenesis shifts from maternal to zygotic gene products as the zygotic genome becomes transcriptionally activated. In Drosophila, zygotic genome activation (ZGA) begins with a minor wave, but technical challenges have hampered the identification of early transcripts or obscured the onset of their transcription. Here, we develop an approach to isolate transcribed mRNAs and apply it over the course of the minor wave and the start of the major wave of Drosophila ZGA. Our results increase known genes of the minor wave by 10 fold and show that this wave is continuous and gradual. Transposable-element mRNAs are also produced, but discontinuously. Genes in the early and middle part of the minor wave are short with few if any introns, and their transcripts are frequently aborted and tend to have retained introns, suggesting that inefficient splicing as well as rapid cell divisions constrain the lengths of early transcripts.

Metabolic control of histone acetylation for precise and timely regulation of minor ZGA in early mammalian embryos

Project description:We report that oxidized nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NAD+) is indispensable for mouse pre-implantation development. NAD+ could avoids excessive minor zygotic gene activation (ZGA) by cooperating with SIRT1 to remove zygotic H3K27ac. In human, NAD+ supplement can promote the removal of zygotic H3K27ac and benefit pre-implantation development. Our findings demonstrate that precise and timely regulation of minor ZGA is controlled by metabolic dynamics, and enhance our understanding of the metabolism of mammalian early embryos.

A family of double-homeodomain transcription factors promotes zygotic genome activation in placental mammals [RNA-seq]

Project description:In metazoans, the fertilized embryo is transcriptionally mostly silent for a few cell divisions, until release of a first major wave of embryonic transcripts by so-called zygotic genome activation (ZGA). Maternally provided ZGA-triggering factors have been identified in Drosophila melanogaster and Danio rerio but their mammalian homologues are still undefined. Here, we reveal that DUX family transcription factors are key to this process in human and mouse. First, human Dux4 and murine Dux are expressed prior to ZGA in both species. Second, both orthologues bind to and activate the promoters of ZGA genes. Third, Dux knockdown hinders the progression of mouse embryos beyond the 2-cell stage. Fourth, it prevents the cycling of mouse embryonic stem (ES) cells through a 2-cell-like state whereas, conversely, Dux overexpression induces the accumulation of these ZGA genes-expressing ES cells. We conclude that DUX proteins are master regulators of mammalian ZGA.

Repeat elements activating lncRNAs drives zygotic genome activation

Project description:Vertebrate life begins with fertilization, then the zygote genome is activated after transient silencing, termed zygotic genome activation (ZGA). The mechanism of how ZGA initiates is far from clear although it underlay the mystery of totipotency and start of life. The specific property of the minor ZGA implied the possible critical role of ncRNA in the initiation of ZGA. Here we delineated the expression profile of the lncRNAs in the mouse early embryo development and elucidated their critical role in the minor ZGA. LncRNAs showed closer correlation with minor ZGA, they activated earlier than the protein coding genes (PCGs) and suppressed quickly after ZGA. H3K9me3 enrichment prior the ZGA could explain the suspended expression of major ZGA PCGs albeit they possess the PolII pre-configuration. The PolII enriched MuERV-L was found around the TSS of the minor ZGA lncRNAs, and they were responsible for the activation of the minor ZGA lncRNAs and the subsequent embryo development. Our work suggested the MuERV-L mediated minor ZGA lncRNA activation as a critical driver between the epigenetic reprogramming triggered by fertilization and the embryo developmental program, thus provided clues for understanding totipotency and starting of life.

Developmental programs in chicken early embryos by whole transcriptome analysis.

Project description:Temporal regulation of gene expression is essential for early embryonic development. With the development of next-generation sequencing technologies, transcriptional profiling of early developmental processes in various vertebrates are already revealed. However, overall transcriptome analysis of early embryonic development in avian have never been investigated. In this study, to our knowledge, we provide comprehensive profiling of pre-oviposited embryos in chicken by whole-transcriptome RNA-seq for the first time. We demonstrated the presence of avian-specific mechanism of first- and second-wave of zygotic genome activation (ZGA). Chicken early embryo have distinct developmental programs between cleavage and area pellucida formation period. Additional speculation of epigenetic dynamics indicate that maternal-to-zygotic transition (MZT) in chicken is promoted after second-wave of ZGA, through EGK.VI to EGK.X stages. These extensive results contribute to understanding avian early embryogenesis and comparative studies with other species with many developmental aspects.

Detection of newly synthesized RNA reveals transcriptional reprogramming during ZGA and a role of Obox3 in totipotency acquisition

Project description:Zygotic genome activation (ZGA) after fertilization is a conserved transcriptional activation process that enables the maternal-to-zygotic transition. However, the global view of ZGA, particularly at the initiation, is not yet completely understood. Here, we develop a method to capture and sequence newly synthesized RNA in the early mouse embryos, which provides a view of transcriptional reprogramming events during ZGA. Our data demonstrate that gene activation associated with major ZGA, previously thought to occur exclusively during the mid-to-late 2-cell stage, is already initiated in zygotes. Furthermore, we identify a set of genes activated during minor ZGA and observe an enrichment of the homeobox-containing Obox factor motif at the promoters of minor ZGA genes. Among several Obox factors, Obox3 overexpression in mouse embryonic stem cells activates ZGA genes. Notably, the expression of Obox3 is severely impaired in somatic cell nuclear transfer (SCNT) embryos, and restoring its expression corrects the ZGA profile and greatly improves SCNT embryo development. Hence, our study reveals the dynamic transcriptional reprogramming during ZGA and underscores the crucial role of Obox3 in facilitating totipotency acquisition.

Maternal factor Trim75 contributes to Zygotic Genome Activation program in mouse early embryos

Project description:Zygotic genome activation (ZGA) marks the first transcription event in life, and human embryo developmental arrest has been highly correlated with ZGA failure in clinical studies. We utilized published single-cell RNA sequencing data and RNA-seq data to identify Trim75 is a potential driver of minor ZGA and may recruit EP300 and establish H3K27ac in the gene body of minor ZGA genes.

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.

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.
