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

ABSTRACT: 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.

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

Project description: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.

Nuclear Poly(A)-binding Protein 1-like (PABPN1L) Mediates Cytoplasmic mRNA Decay As a Placeholder during Maternal-to-zygotic Transition

Project description:Maternal mRNA degradation is a critical event of maternal-to-zygotic transition (MZT) that determines the developmental potential of early embryos. Nuclear Poly(A)-binding proteins (PABPNs) are extensively involved in mRNA post-transcriptional regulations, but their functions in mammalian MZT has not been investigated. In this study, we identified a novel maternal-effect factor PABPN1-like (PABPN1L), rather than its ubiquitously expressed homolog PABPN1, as an RNA-binding adapter of the mammalian MZT licensing factor BTG4 which mediates maternal mRNAs clearance. Female Pabpn1l null mice produced morphologically normal oocytes but were infertile owing to early developmental arrest of the resultant embryos at the 1-to-2-cell stages without undergoing ZGA. Deletion of Pabpn1l impairs the deadenylation and degradation of a subset of BTG4-targeted maternal mRNAs during MZT. In addition to recruiting BTG4 to the mRNA 3ʹ-poly(A) tails, PABPN1L is also required for BTG4 protein accumulation in maturing oocytes by protecting BTG4 from SCF-βTrCP1 E3 ubiquitin ligase-mediated polyubiquitination and degradation. This study highlights a noncanonical cytoplasmic function of nuclear poly(A)-binding proteins mRNA turnover as well as its physiological importance during MZT.

ZAR1 and ZAR2 are Required for Oocyte Meiotic Maturation by Regulating the Maternal Transcriptome and mRNA Translational Activation

Project description:Zar1 was the first mammalian maternal-effect gene to be identified. Embryos derived from Zar1-null female mice are blocked before zygotic genome activation; however, the underlying mechanism remains unclear. By knocking out Zar1 and its homolog Zar2 in mice, we revealed a novel function of these genes in oocyte meiotic maturation. Zar1/2-deleted oocytes displayed delayed meiotic resumption and polar body-1 emission and a higher incidence of abnormal meiotic spindle formation and chromosome aneuploidy. The grown oocytes of Zar1/2-null mice contained fewer total mRNAs and displayed a reduced level of protein synthesis. Key maturation-associated changes failed to occur in the Zar1/2-null oocytes, including the translational activation of maternal mRNAs encoding the cell cycle proteins cyclin B1 and WEE2, as well as maternal-to-zygotic transition (MZT) licensing factor BTG4. Consequently, maternal mRNA decay was impaired and MZT was abolished. ZAR1/2 bound mRNAs to regulate the translational activity of their 3ʹ-UTRs and interacted with other oocyte proteins, including mRNA-stabilizing protein MSY2 and cytoplasmic lattice components. These results countered the traditional view that ZAR1 only functions after fertilization and highlight a previously unrecognized role of ZAR1/2 in regulating the maternal transcriptome and translational activation in maturing oocytes.

Phosphorylation of PABPN1 during mitosis protects mRNA from hyperadenylation and maintains transcriptome stability.

Project description:Polyadenylation controls mRNA biogenesis, nuclear export, translation, and decay. These processes are interdependent and coordinately regulated by several poly(A)-binding proteins (PABPs). How PABPs are functionally regulated to control RNA fate is not fully understood. Here, we show that human PABPN1, the nuclear PABP, is phosphorylated by mitotic kinases at four specific sites during mitosis when nucleoplasm and cytoplasm mix. We employed long-read sequencing to detect altered activities of PABPN1 mutants on poly(A) tails lengths of individual mRNAs and TimeLapse-seq to monitor mRNA turnover rates. Phospho-inhibitory PABPN1 mutants lengthened poly(A) tails on both spliced and unspliced transcripts, increased mRNA half-lives and decreased synthesis, and blocked cell proliferation. Although phospho-mimetic PABPN1 mutants still bind RNA, poly(A) tails were shorter in vivo. Thus, PABPN1 phosphorylation reduces the polyadenylation activity of PABPN1 and increases mRNA instability. We conclude that PABPN1 regulation balances mRNA synthesis and decay during cell cycle to achieve transcriptome homeostasis.

Transcriptome analysis of wild-type and maternal ybx1 mutant zebrafish embryos during early development

Project description:To study the function of zebrafish Ybx1 during early embryogenesis, we generated maternal ybx1 (Mybx1) mutant using CRISPR/Cas9 and report the transcriptome-wide changes in comparison to wild-type (WT) embryos. Our analysis reveals a dramatic loss of maternal mRNA decay and zygotic genome activation in Mybx1 embryos during maternal-to-zygotic transition.

Nuclear mRNA processing domain formed by PABPN1 - mRNA phase separation is essential for the growth of oocytes and female reproduction

Project description:The growing oocytes stored a large amount of maternal mRNA to support the subsequent "maternal-zygotic transition" process, which is a key regulatory events in female reproduction. The accumulation of maternal mRNA in the growing oocyte determines the developmental potential of the oocyte. At present, it is not clear how the growing oocytes store and process the newly transcribed mRNA under physiological conditions, including the distribution and localization of mRNA in the oocyte, as well as the molecular mechanism and physiological significance of this localization. In this study, we found that poly(A) tailed mRNA has the dynamic distributions of droplet fusion and gradual disappearance in the mouse nucleus as oocyte growth and meiotic maturation. Our research found that PABPN1 modulated the dynamic compartmentalization of mRNA with poly(A) tails to form NmPD (nuclear mRNA processing domain) during the growing oocytes through phase separation. The NmPD in Pabpn1-null oocytes could not form the compartmentalized distribution, and the Pabpn1 knockout females were sterile with defects of premature ovarian failure. Combined with multi-omics sequencing analysis, we investigate that NmPD was essential for long 3'-UTR isoform formation and the stability of mRNA in growing oocytes.

NLRP14 deficiency contributes to female infertility and early embryo arrest

Project description:Oocyte maturation is vital to attain full competence required fertilization and embryogenesis. As a maternal effect factor, NLRP14 is preferentially expressed in mammalian oocytes and early embryos. Yet the role and molecular mechanism of NLRP14 in oocyte maturation and early embryogenesis is largely unknown. Whether NLRP14 deficiency accounts for human infertility with oocyte and embryo defects remains to be elucidated. Here, NLRP14 is identified essential for establishment of competent oocytes that can sustain early embryo development. Maternal deficiency of Nlrp14 results in sterility characterized by oocyte maturation defects and early embryo arrest. Nlrp14 ablation leads to compromised oocyte quality and developmental competence due to impaired oocyte cytoplasmic and nuclear maturation. Mechanistically, NLRP14 interacts with UHRF1 in oocyte cytoplasm to protect it from proteasome-dependent degradation, and perturbs maternal mRNA zygotic-decay and zygotic genome activation during maternal-zygotic transition. Furthermore, compound heterozygous pathogenic variants in NLRP14 gene are identified in infertile women with early embryonic arrest, which interrupt the NLRP14-UHRF1 interaction or UHRF1 protein expression. Our data uncover a vital role of NLRP14 as a new cytoplasmic-specific modulator of UHRF1 in oocyte meiotic maturation and early embryogenesis, which should provide new insights into risk prediction and genetic diagnosis for female infertility.

Phosphorylation of PABPN1 during mitosis protects mRNA from hyperadenylation and maintains transcriptome dynamics.

Project description:Polyadenylation controls mRNA biogenesis, nuclear export, translation, and decay. These processes are interdependent and coordinately regulated by poly(A)-binding proteins (PABPs), yet how PABPs are themselves regulated is not fully understood. Here, we show that human PABPN1, the nuclear PABP, is phosphorylated by mitotic kinases at four specific sites during mitosis, a time when nucleoplasm and cytoplasm mix. Phospho-inhibitory mutations decreased human cell proliferation. We therefore employed long-read sequencing to determine how PABPN1 phospho-site mutants affected poly(A) tails lengths of individual mRNAs, and TimeLapse-seq to monitor mRNA synthesis and decay. Phospho-inhibitory PABPN1 mutants lengthened poly(A) tails on both spliced and unspliced transcripts. In contrast, expression of phospho-mimetic PABPN1 resulted in shorter poly(A) tails and reduced transcriptome stability, indicating reduced polyadenylation activity of PABPN1 and targeting of long-tailed transcripts for decay. Thus, PABPN1 phosphorylation confers transcriptome instability that is associated with resetting the gene expression program as cells passage through cell cycle.

EDC-3 and EDC-4 Regulate Embryonic mRNA Clearance and Biomolecular Condensate Specialization

Project description:Animal development is dictated by the selective and timely decay of mRNAs in developmental transitions. The implication of mRNA decapping scaffold proteins in these processes was unknown. This study delineates the roles and interactions of the DCAP-2 decapping scaffolds EDC-3 and EDC-4 in the embryonic development of C. elegans. EDC-3 facilitates the timely removal of specific embryonic mRNAs, including ifet-1, car-1, and cgh-1, reducing their expression, and preventing excessive accumulation of DCAP-2 condensates in somatic cells. We further uncover a novel role for EDC-3 in defining the biochemical boundaries between P-bodies, P-granules, and stress granules. Lastly, we show that EDC-4 counteracts EDC-3 and mediates the assembly of DCAP-2 with the GID (CTLH) complex, a ubiquitin ligase involved in maternal-to-zygotic transition (MZT). Our findings refine a model wherein multiple RNA decay mechanisms temporally partake in the clearance of maternal and zygotic mRNAs throughout embryonic development.

ME31B/DDX6 globally represses maternal mRNAs by two distinct mechanisms during the Drosophila maternal-to-zygotic transition

Project description:Using RNA immunoprecipitation sequencing, we found that ME31B binding represses expression of thousands of genes in the Drosophila early embryo, but the mechanism by which ME31B acts changes: before the maternal-to-zygotic transition, ME31B represses translation, while afterwards, it stimulates mRNA decay.
