Project description: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.

Project description:The earliest stage of animal development is controlled by maternally deposited mRNA transcripts and proteins. Once the zygote is able to transcribe its own genome, maternal transcripts are degraded, in a tightly regulated process known as the maternal to zygotic transition (MZT). While this process has been well-studied within model species, we have little knowledge of how the pools of maternal and zygotic transcripts evolve. To characterize the evolutionary dynamics and functional constraints on the timing of early embryonic expression, we created a transcriptomic dataset for 14 Drosophila species spanning over 50 million years of evolution, at developmental stages before and after the MZT, and compared our results with a previously published Aedes aegypti developmental time course. We found deep conservation over 250 million years of a core set of genes transcribed only by the zygote. This select group is highly enriched in transcription factors that play critical roles in early development. However, we also identify a surprisingly high level of turnover of transcripts represented at both stages over the phylogeny. While mRNA levels of genes with maternally deposited transcripts are more highly conserved than zygotic genes, those maternal transcripts that are completely degraded at the MZT vary dramatically between species. We also show that hundreds of genes have different isoform usage between the maternal and zygotic genomes. Our work suggests that maternal transcript deposition and early zygotic transcription are surprisingly dynamic over evolutionary time, despite the widespread conservation of early developmental processes.

Project description:Evolution of maternal and zygotic mRNA complements in the early Drosophila embryo
| PRJNA449374 | ENA
Project description:During embryogenesis in animals, initial developmental processes are driven entirely by maternally provided gene products that are deposited into the oocyte. The zygotic genome is transcriptionally activated later, when developmental control is handed off from maternal gene products to the zygote during the maternal to zygotic transition (MZT). The MZT is highly regulated and conserved across all animals, and while some details change across model systems where it has been studied, most are too evolutionarily diverged to make comparisons as to how this process evolves. There are differences in maternal gene products and their zygotic complements across Drosophila species, so here we used hybrid crosses between sister species of Drosophila (D. simulans, D. sechellia, and D. mauritiana) and transcriptomics to determine how gene regulation changes in early embryogenesis across species. We find that regulation of maternal transcript deposition and zygotic transcription evolve through different mechanisms. Changes in transcript levels occur predominantly through differences in trans regulation for maternal genes, while changes in zygotic transcription occur through a combination of regulatory changes in cis, trans, and both cis and trans. We find that patterns of transcript level inheritance in hybrids relative to parental species differs between maternal and zygotic transcripts; maternal transcript levels are more likely to be conserved but both stages have a large proportion of transcripts showing dominance of one parental species. Differences in the underlying regulatory landscape in the mother and the zygote are likely the primary determinants for how maternal and zygotic transcripts evolve species.

Project description:The gfzf gene is essential for viability and it has been identified in several genetic screenings pointed out its importance in different cellular processes. However, its molecular function has not been extensively studied so far. Here we analyse the GFZF protein interactome in Drosophila melanogaster embryos. The GFZF protein was subjected to immunoprecipitation with an antibody against the endogenous protein and the interactome was analysed by mass spectrometry. The samples are named as follows: antibody used _ batch _ MS ID _ date of MS run

Project description:The earliest stages of development in most metazoans are driven by maternally deposited proteins and mRNAs, with widespread transcriptional activation of the zygotic genome occurring hours after fertilization, at a period known as the maternal-to-zygotic transition (MZT). In Drosophila, the MZT is preceded by the transcription of a small number of genes that initiate sex determination, patterning and other essential developmental processes. The zinc-finger transcription factor Zelda (ZLD) plays a key role in the transcriptional activation of these earliest-expressed genes. To better understand the mechanisms of ZLD activation and the range of its targets, we used chromatin immunoprecipitation coupled with high-throughput sequencing (ChIP-Seq) to map regions bound by ZLD prior to (mitotic cycles 8 and 9), during (mitotic cycles 13 and early 14) and after (late mitotic cycle 14) the MZT. Although only a handful of genes are transcribed prior to mitotic cycle 10, we identified thousands of regions bound by ZLD in cycle 8-9 embryos, most of which remain bound through mitotic cycle 14. As expected, these ZLD-bound regions include the promoters and enhancers of the small subset of genes transcribed at this early stage. However we also observed ZLD bound at cycle 8-9 to the promoters of a large fraction of the several thousand genes whose first transcription does not occur until roughly an hour and four mitotic cycles later. These early ZLD-bound regions include virtually all of the thousands of known and presumed enhancers bound at cycle 14 by the transcription factors that regulate patterned gene activation during the MZT. The association between early ZLD binding and MZT activity is so strong that ZLD binding alone can be used to identify active promoters and regulatory sequences with high specificity and selectivity. This strong early association of ZLD with regions not active until the MZT suggests that ZLD is not only required for the earliest wave of transcription, but also plays a major role in activating the genome at the MZT.

Project description:The maternal-to-zygotic transition (MZT) is a process that occurs in animal embryos at the earliest developmental stages, during which maternally deposited mRNAs and other molecules are degraded and replaced by products of the zygotic genome. The zygotic genome is not activated immediately upon fertilization, therefore post-transcriptional mechanisms control the first steps of development in the early, pre-MZT embryo. To perform unbiased organism-wide identification of Drosophila RNA binding proteins (RPBs), crucial players of post-transcriptional control, we applied the recently developed RNA interactome capture method, which involves cross-linking of RNAs and their direct protein partners by UV light, purification of RNA under stringent conditions and identification of proteins by mass spectrometry. Our analysis yielded 523 high confidence RBP hits, half of which were not previously reported to bind RNA. Our comparison of the RNA interactomes of pre- and post-MZT embryos reveals a highly dynamic behavior of the RNA-bound proteome during early development, and suggests active regulation of RNA binding of some RBPs. This resource provides the first evidence of RNA binding for hundreds of Drosophila proteins, and opens new avenues for study of molecular mechanisms of early development.

Project description:The transition in developmental control from maternal to zygotic gene products marks a critical step in early embryogenesis. Here, we use GRO-seq analysis to map the genome-wide RNA polymerase distribution during the Drosophila maternal to zygotic transition. This analysis unambiguously identifies the zygotic transcriptome, and provides insight into its mechanisms of regulation. Two replicates of GRO-seq at each time point.
