Argonaute 2 is a key regulator for maternal mRNA degradation in mouse early embryos

ABSTRACT: Growing oocyte possesses high transcriptional activity, and accumulates massive maternal mRNAs and proteins, which control the initial stages of development. Maternal mRNA degradation (MRD) is required to remove repressive factors and enable zygotic genome activation (ZGA). To explore the function of Ago2 in MRD, we knocked Ago2 down by injection of small interfering RNA (siRNA) targeting Ago2 and AGO2 antibody into mouse zygote, and demonstrate that the deletion of Ago2 impairs normal early embryonic development, accompanied by abnormal MRD and ZGA. AGO2 guided by endosiRNAs could target maternal mRNAs and cooperate with P-bodies to promote MRD. We also indicate that AGO2 may associate with saRNA to regulate ZGA-dependent MRD. Our findings provide insights into the function of AGO2 on MRD and suggest its role in ZGA.

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.

A nuclear role for the Argonaute protein AGO2 in mammalian gametogenesis

Project description:The reduced sperm count observed in Ago2 cKO mice implies that AGO2 has non-redundant functions in the male germ line. Because AGO2 is a key protein in the RNA interference (RNAi) pathway, we first postulated that AGO2 loss disrupts normal transcriptional and translational dynamics of target mRNAs relevant to sperm maturation. To address this hypothesis, we took advantage of the apparently normal spermatogenesis in Ago2 cKO mice, which allowed us to purify matched meiotic and post-meiotic germ cells from Ago2 cKO and wild type controls. We examined changes in the transcriptome and proteome of these two spermatogenic stages in Ago2 cKO relative to control mice using RNA-seq and quantitative mass spectrometry (MS). To further examine if the changes in mRNA and protein levels detected in Ago2 cKO germ cells was due to a loss of regulation by the canonical AGO2-miRNA pathway, we characterized AGO2 protein interactors by AGO2 immunoprecipitation-mass spectrometry (IP-MS) in cytoplasmic and nuclear fractions of post-meiotic cells

Argonaute 2 drives miR-145-dependent gene expression program in breast cancer cells

Project description:miR-145 acts as a tumor suppressor miRNA in breast cancer cells expressing Argonaute-2 protein (AGO2), while in the absence of AGO2 miR-145 loses its inhibitory effect on migration. To identify mRNAs that are putatively targeted by miR-145 in breast cancer cells, we exogenously expressed miR-145 in MDA-MB-231 cells, in presence (mimic145) or absence (sirnaAGO2-mimic145) of AGO2 expression. mRNAs modulated by interference of AGO2 alone were also evaluated (sirnaAGO2).

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 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.

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.

Huntingtin aggregation impairs autophagy leading to Argonaute-2 accumulation and global microRNA dysregulation

Project description:Many neurodegenerative diseases are characterized by the presence of intracellular protein aggregates resulting in alterations in autophagy. However, the consequences of impaired autophagy on neuronal function remain poorly understood. In this study, we used cell culture and mouse models of huntingtin protein aggregation, as well as post-mortem material from patients with Huntington's disease to demonstrate that Argonaute-2 (AGO2) accumulates in the presence of neuronal protein aggregates and that this is due to impaired autophagy. Accumulation of AGO2, a key factor of the RNAinduced silencing complex that executes microRNA functions, results in global alterations of microRNA levels and activity. Together these results demonstrate that impaired autophagy found in neurodegenerative diseases not only influences protein aggregation, but also directly contributes to global alterations of intracellular posttranscriptional networks.

Hierarchical rules for Argonaute loading in Drosophila

Project description:Drosophila Argonaute-1 and Argonaute-2 differ in function and small RNA content. AGO2 binds to siRNAs, whereas AGO1 is almost exclusively occupied by microRNAs. microRNA duplexes are intrinsically asymmetric, with one strand, the miR strand, preferentially entering AGO1 to recognize and regulate the expression of target mRNAs. The other strand, miR*, has been viewed as a by-product of microRNA biogenesis. Here, we show that miR*s are often loaded as functional species into AGO2. This indicates that each microRNA precursor can potentially produce two mature small RNA strands that are differentially sorted within the RNAi pathway. miR* biogenesis depends upon the canonical microRNA pathway, but loading into AGO2 is mediated by factors traditionally dedicated to siRNAs. By inferring and validating hierarchical rules that predict differential AGO loading, we find that intrinsic determinants, including structural and thermodynamic properties of the processed duplex, regulate the fate of each RNA strand within the RNAi pathway. These were independently processed and sequenced using the Illumina GAII platform. In total, five libraries were analyzed.

An Argonaute phosphorylation cycle promotes microRNA-mediated silencing [GeCKO screen]

Project description:MicroRNAs (miRNAs) perform critical functions in normal physiology and disease by associating with Argonaute proteins and downregulating partially complementary messenger RNAs (mRNAs). To identify new regulators of the miRNA pathway, we employed CRISPR-Cas9 genome-wide loss-of-function screening coupled with a fluorescent reporter of miRNA activity. Iterative rounds of screening revealed a novel mechanism whereby target engagement by Argonaute 2 (AGO2) triggers its hierarchical, multi-site phosphorylation by CSNK1A1 on a set of highly conserved residues (S824-S834), followed by rapid dephosphorylation by the ANKRD52-PPP6C phosphatase complex. Although genetic and biochemical studies demonstrated that AGO2 phosphorylation on these residues inhibits target mRNA binding, inactivation of this phosphorylation cycle globally impairs miRNA-mediated silencing. Analysis of the transcriptome-wide binding profile of non-phosphorylatable AGO2 revealed a dramatic expansion of the target repertoire bound at steady-state, effectively reducing the active pool of AGO2 on a per target basis. These findings support a model in which an AGO2 phosphorylation cycle stimulated by target engagement regulates miRNA:target interactions to maintain the global efficiency of miRNA-mediated silencing.
