Project description:Maternal mRNAs are essential for protein synthesis during oogenesis and early embryogenesis. To adapt translation to specific needs during development, maternal mRNAs are translationally repressed by shortening the polyA tails. While mRNA deadenylation is associated with decapping and degradation in somatic cells, maternal mRNAs with short polyA tails are stable. Here we report an essential role for the germline-specific paralog of the mRNA cap-binding factor eIF4E, known as eIF4E1b, in the storage and repression of maternal mRNAs with short polyA tails. eIF4E1b binds to the mRNA cap and is targeted to ribonucleoprotein complexes through its direct interaction with eIF4ENIF1/4E-T. In early embryos, eIF4E1b binds to a specific set of translationally repressed mRNAs with short or no polyA tails, such as histone mRNAs, which are translated later on during embryogenesis. Consistent with an important role in maternal mRNA dormancy, mutation of eIF4E1b in zebrafish impairs female germline development. Understanding the mechanism and function of eIF4E1B provides new insights into fundamental post-transcriptional regulatory principles governing early vertebrate development.

Project description:The mRNA cap-binding protein eIF4E1b is critical for female germline development in zebrafish. To study the effect of eIF4E1b loss in zebrafish, we isolated gonads with a high expression of ziwi:GFP (female germline marker) from wild-type and eif4e1b mutant juveniles and performed RNA-seq.

Project description:Translation of maternal mRNAs is detected before transcription of zygotic genes and is essential for mammalian embryo development. How certain maternal mRNAs are selected for translation instead of degradation and how this burst of translation affects zygotic genome activation remain unknown. Using gene-edited mice, we document that the oocyte-specific eukaryotic translation initiation factor 4E family member 1b (eIF4E1b) is the regulator of maternal mRNA expression that ensures subsequent reprogramming of the zygotic genome. In oocytes, eIF4E1b binds to transcripts encoding translation machinery proteins, chromatin remodelers, and reprogramming factors to promote their translation in zygotes and protect them from degradation. The protein products are thought to establish an open chromatin landscape in one-cell zygotes to enable transcription of genes required for cleavage stage development. Our results define a program for rapid resetting of the zygotic epigenome that is regulated by maternal mRNA expression and provide new insights into the mammalian maternal-to-zygotic transition.

Project description:We have identified eukaryotic translation initiation factor 4E family member 1B (Eif4e1b) as a regulator of maternal RNA translation, whose maternal deletion leads to 2-cell arrest phenotype in mouse embryos. eIF4E1b protein binds mRNA selectively in oocytes and controls their translation in early embryos. eIF4E1b expresses specifically in mouse ovary and we have generated a knock-in mouse line in which HA tag is conjugated to the C terminus of eIF4E1b. We aim to identify eIF4E1b co-factors using mass spectrometry after anit-HA immunoprecipitation (IP) using mouse ovaries.

We aim to profile the global changes in protein expression in metaphase II (MII) eggs and zygotes collected from control or Eif4e1b knockout female mice. An encapsulated proteomic-sample processing protocol is used to perform this low-input mass spectrometry to quantify proteomic changes (Kulak et al. 2014/PMID 24497582).

Project description:Gene expression in pathogenic protozoans of the family Trypanosomatidae has several novel features, for example in protein synthesis there are multiple eIF4F-like complexes. The eukaryotic eIF4F complex, formed by the eIF4E, eIF4G and eIF4A subunits, is responsible for the canonical selection of mRNAs required for the initiation of mRNA translation. The best-known complexes implicated in translation in trypanosomatids are based on two related pairs of eIF4E and eIF4G subunits (EIF4E3/EIF4G4 and EIF4E4/EIF4G3), whose functional distinctions have yet to be properly identified. Here, to define the interactome associated with both complexes in Trypanosoma brucei procyclic forms, we performed parallel immunoprecipitation experiments followed by identification of proteins co-precipitated with the two sets of tagged eIF4E and eIF4G subunits. A number of different protein partners, including RBPs and RNA helicases, were found to specifically co-precipitate with each complex. Highlights with the EIF4E4/EIF4G3 pair include RBP23, PABP1, EIF4AI and the CRK1 kinase. Co-precipitated partners with the EIF4E3/EIF4G4 pair are more diverse and include DRBD2, PABP2 and different zinc-finger proteins and RNA helicases.EIF4E3/EIF4G4 are known to be essential for viability and to better define their role.
