Characterization of Zygotic Genome Activation-dependent Maternal mRNA Clearance in Mammals

ABSTRACT: A conserved event of the maternal-to-zygotic transition (MZT) in animal embryos is the elimination of a subset of the maternal transcripts that accumulated during oogenesis. In invertebrates and lower vertebrates, a maternally encoded mRNA decay pathway (M-decay) acts before zygotic genome activation (ZGA) while a second pathway, which requires zygotic transcription, subsequently clears additional mRNAs (Z-decay). To date it has not been clear whether a Z-decay pathway is present in mammals. Here, we identify mouse and human maternal transcripts that are degraded after ZGA and show that inhibition of de novo transcription stabilizes these mRNAs in mouse and human embryos. We show that YAP1-TEAD4 transcription factor-mediated transcription is essential for Z-decay in mouse embryos and that TEAD4-triggered zygotic Tut4/7 expression and mRNA 3ʹ-oligouridylation direct Z-decay.

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.

Nuclear Poly(A) Binding Protein 1 (PABPN1) Mediates Zygotic Genome Activation-dependent Maternal mRNA Clearance During Mouse Early Embryonic Development

Project description:An embryo starts its life with maternal mRNA clearance, which is crucial for embryonic development. The elimination of maternal transcripts occurs by the joint action of two pathways: the first is a maternally encoded mRNA decay pathway (M-decay), while the second is zygotic genome activation (ZGA)-dependent pathway (Z-decay). However, the zygotic factors triggering maternal mRNA decay in early mammalian embryos remain largely unknown. In this study, we identify the zygotically encoded nuclear poly(A) binding protein 1 (PABPN1) as a factor required for maternal mRNA turnover, with an unpredictable cytoplasmic function. Cytoplasmic PABPN1 docks on 3ʹ-uridylated transcripts, downstream of terminal uridylyl transferases TUT4 and TUT7, and recruits 3ʹ-5ʹ exoribonuclease DIS3L2 to its targets, facilitating the decay of maternal mRNA. Pabpn1-knockout in mice resulted in preimplantation-stage mortality, due to early developmental arrest at the morula stage. This study characterizes the presence of a zygotic destabilizer of maternal mRNA and helps in elucidating the Z-decay process mechanisms, which potentially contribute to human fertility.

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.

DPPA2 and DPPA4 are dispensable for mouse zygotic genome activation and preimplantation development

Project description:How maternal factors in oocytes initiate zygotic genome activation (ZGA) remains elusive. Recent studies indicate that DPPA2 and DPPA4 are required for establishing a 2-cell embryo-like (2C-like) state in mouse embryonic stem cells (ESCs) in a DUX-dependent manner. These results suggest that DPPA2 and DPPA4 are essential maternal factors that regulate Dux and ZGA in embryos. By analyzing maternal knockout and maternal-zygotic knockout embryos, we unexpectedly found that Dux activation, ZGA, and preimplantation development are normal in embryos without DPPA2 or DPPA4. Thus, unlike in ESCs/2C-like cells, DPPA2 and DPPA4 are dispensable for ZGA and preimplantation development.

Loss of DUX causes minor defects in zygotic genome activation and is compatible with mouse development

Project description:How maternal factors in oocytes trigger zygotic genome activation (ZGA) is a long-standing question in developmental biology. Recent studies in 2-cell like embryonic stem cells (2C-like cells) implicate that the DUX family transcription factors are key regulators of ZGA in placental mammals. To characterize the role of DUX in ZGA, we generated Dux cluster knockout (KO) mouse lines. Unexpectedly, we found both Dux zygotic KO (Z-KO) and maternal/zygotic KO (MZ-KO) embryos can survive to adulthood despite showing reduced developmental potential. Furthermore, transcriptome profiling of the MZ-KO embryos revealed that loss of DUX has minimal effect on ZGA and most DUX targets in 2C-like cells are normally activated in MZ-KO embryos. Thus, contrary to the key function in inducing 2C-like cells, our data indicate that DUX only has a minor role in ZGA and loss of DUX is compatible with mouse development.

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.

Maternal RNF114 plays critical roles in activation of the early zygotic genome through promoting ubiquitin-mediated degradation of Chromobox protein CBX5

Project description:Zygotic genomic activation (ZGA) is a landmark event in the maternal-to-zygotic transition (MZT), and the regulation of ZGA by maternal factors remains to be elucidated. In this study, the depletion of maternal RNF114 led to 2-cell embryos developmental arrest in mice. RNF114 was proven to play an important role in major ZGA using ethynyl uridine (EU) incorporation and transcriptome analysis. To study the underlying mechanism, we performed protein profiling in mature oocytes and found a potential substrate for RNF114, Chromobox protein CBX5, whose ubiquitination and degradation was regulated by RNF114. Furthermore, the overexpression of CBX5 prevented embryonic development and impeded major ZGA. In summary, our study reveals that maternal RNF114, as a ubiquitin E3 ligase, plays a precise role in mediating the degradation of repressive protein CBX5 during MZT, the misregulation of which may impede the appropriate activation of major ZGA in mouse embryos.

Knockdown of YBX1 impairs alternative splicing and maternal mRNA decay during pre-implantation development

Project description:In mammals, maternal gene products decay and zygotic genome activation (ZGA) onsets during maternal to zygotic transition (MZT). Y-box binding protein YBX1 plays vital roles in RNA stabilization and transcriptional regulation, but its roles in pre-implantation development remain to be elucidated. In the present study, we aim to investigate the role of YBX1 during goat MZT and further explore the molecular mechanisms. The expression of YBX1 was increased during MZT in goat, bovine, human, and mice. We successfully knocked down YBX1 by microinjection of siRNA against YBX1, and the embryo development was impaired when YBX1 was knocked down. Using RNA-seq, we identified 1623 up-regulated and 3531 down-regulated genes in the 8-cell stage YBX1 knockdown embryos. GO/KEGG/GSEA enrichment analysis revealed that the down-regulated genes were enriched in regulation of RNA/mRNA stability and spliceosome, suggesting that YBX1 might medicate pre-implantation development by alternative splicing and maternal mRNA decay. To this end, we identified 3284 differential alternative splicing events and 1322 differentially expressed maternal mRNAs at the 8-cell stage YBX1 knockdown embryos compared to the controls. Moreover, the splicing factors and mRNA decay related genes were aberrantly expressed. Lastly, knockdown of YBX1 impaired transcriptional activity during ZGA in goat and mice as revealed by 5-EU staining. Our results identify that YBX1 serves an important role in maternal mRNA decay, alternative splicing, and the transcriptional activity required for early embryogenesis, which will broaden the current understanding of YBX1 functions during the stochastic reprogramming events.

6mA-DNA-binding factor Jumu controls maternal-to-zygotic transition upstream of Zelda

Project description:A long-standing question in the field of embryogenesis is how the zygotic genome is precisely activated by maternal factors, allowing normal early embryonic development. We have previously shown that N6-methyladenine (6mA) DNA modification is highly dynamic in early Drosophila embryos and forms an epigenetic mark. However, little is known about how 6mA-formed epigenetic information is decoded. Here we report that the Fox-family protein Jumu binds 6mA-marked DNA and acts as a maternal factor to regulate the maternal-to-zygotic transition. We find that zelda encoding the pioneer factor Zelda is marked by 6mA. Our genetic assays suggest that Jumu controls the proper zygotic genome activation (ZGA) in early embryos, at least in part, by regulating zelda expression. Thus, our findings not only support that the 6mA-formed epigenetic can be read by specific transcription factors, but also uncover a mechanism by which the Jumu regulates ZGA partially through Zelda in early embryos.

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.
