NLRP14 deficiency contributes to female infertility and early embryo arrest

ABSTRACT: 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.

Ultrasensitive proteomics depicted an in-depth landscape for the very early stage of mouse maternal-to-zygotic transition

Project description:Maternal-to-zygotic transition (MZT) is a conserved and fundamental process during which the maternal environment of oocyte transits to the zygotic genome driven expression program, and terminally differentiated oocyte and sperm are reprogrammed to totipotency. Metaphase II (MII) oocytes and zygotes (one-cell embryo) serve as the mature oocyte and the initiation of pre-implantation embryo development respectively, and characterizing their molecular landscapes at protein levels plays an important role in uncovering MZT and zygotic genome activation (ZGA )in mammals. Here we used an ultrasensitive proteomic approach to depict an in-depth landscape for the very early stage of mouse MZT.

Oocyte developmental competence is instructed by H3.3 chaperone Hira complex

Project description:Reproductive success begins with a healthy egg (a competent oocyte). An oocyte acquires its developmental competence during oogenesis in preparation for accomplishing the critical developmental transition from completion of meiosis to initiation of early embryogenesis. Here we comprehensively characterised the maternal role of major subunits of Hira (i.e. Hira, Cabin1 and Zscan4) during oocyte-to-embryo transition.

Fly RBPome - Early embryogenesis is characterized by the maternal to zygotic transition (MTZ), in which maternally deposited messenger RNAs are translated and subsequently degraded while zygotic transcription begins

Project description:Early embryogenesis is characterized by the maternal to zygotic transition (MTZ), in which maternally deposited messenger RNAs are translated and subsequently degraded while zygotic transcription begins. Posttranscriptional gene regulation by RNA-binding proteins (RBPs) is a dominant force controlling pre-zygotic gene expression. Here we describe the first in vivo mRNA-bound proteome in early Drosophila melanogaster embryos. mRNA interactome capture using conventional (254nm) and photoactivatable ribonucleoside-enhanced UV-crosslinking (365nm) was applied to detect RBPs bound to maternal and early zygotic polydenylated transcripts within the first two hours of embryogenesis. We identified a high confidence set of 476 putative RBPs and confirmed RNA-binding activity for most of the tested candidates. The majority of the identified proteins in the early fly mRNA interactome were known RBPs, harboring canonical RBPs features. Nearly hundred of the identified proteins were previously not known to bind RNA. Interestingly, mRNAs encoding RBPs and TFs exhibit time specific expression modules, in which RBPs dominate the first hours of embryonic development. Using fly-FISH data, we could show enriched RBP localization in the posterior embryo during these first hours of fly embryogenesis, suggesting general importance germ cell maturation.

Female mating status influences protein composition of mature Drosophila oocytes

Project description:Oocyte composition can directly influence offspring fitness, particularly in oviparous species such as most insects, where it is the primary form of parental investment. Oocyte production is also energetically costly, dependent on female condition and responsive to external cues. We investigated whether mating influences mature oocyte composition in Drosophila melanogaster using a quantitative proteomic approach. Our analyses robustly identified 4,485 oocyte proteins and revealed that stage-14 oocytes from mated females differed significantly in protein composition relative to oocytes from unmated females. Proteins forming a highly interconnected network enriched for translational machinery and transmembrane proteins were increased in oocytes from mated females, including calcium binding and transport proteins. This mating-induced modulation of oocyte maturation was also significantly associated with proteome changes that are known to be triggered by egg activation. We propose that these compositional changes are likely to have fitness consequences and adaptive implications given the importance of oocyte composition, rather than active gene expression, to the maternal-to-zygotic transition and early embryogenesis.

A low-input proteomic analysis of mouse maternal-to-zygotic transition

Project description:Maternal-to-zygotic transition (MZT) is a conserved and fundamental process during which the maternal environment of oocyte transits to the zygotic genome driven expression program, and terminally differentiated oocyte and sperm are reprogrammed to totipotency. It is initiated by maternal mRNAs and proteins during the period of zygotic genome quiescence after fertilization, followed by a gradual switch to zygotic genome activation and accompanied by clearance of maternal RNAs and proteins. A key question for embryonic development is how MZT process is regulated. Here we used a low-input proteomic analysis to measure the proteomic dynamics during early development of mouse maternal-to-zygotic transition.

A maternal-effect Padi6 variant causes nuclear and cytoplasmic abnormalities in oocytes as well as failure of epigenetic reprogramming and zygotic genome activation in embryos [scRNA-seq]

Project description:Maternal inactivation of genes encoding components of the sub-cortical maternal complex (SCMC) and its associated member PADI6 generally results in early embryo lethality. In humans, SCMC gene variants were found in the healthy mothers of children affected by multi-locus imprinting disturbances (MLID). However, how the SCMC controls the DNA methylation required to regulate imprinting remains poorly defined. We generated a mouse line carrying a Padi6 missense variant that was identified in a family with Beckwith-Wiedemann syndrome and MLID. If homozygous in female mice this variant resulted in interruption of embryo development at the 2-cell stage. Single-cell multi-omic analyses demonstrated defective maturation of Padi6-mutant oocytes and incomplete DNA demethylation, down-regulation of zygotic genome activation (ZGA) genes, up-regulation of maternal decay genes and developmental delay in 2-cell embryos developing from Padi6-mutant oocytes, but little effect on genomic imprinting. Western blotting and immunofluorescence analyses showed reduced level of UHRF1 in oocytes and abnormal localization of DNMT1 and UHRF1 in both oocytes and zygotes. Treatment with 5-azacytidine reverted DNA hypermethylation but did not rescue the developmental arrest of mutant embryos. Taken together, this study demonstrates that PADI6 controls both nuclear and cytoplasmic oocyte processes that are necessary for pre-implantation epigenetic reprogramming and ZGA.

The zinc finger protein Zelda plays a key role in the maternal to zygotic transition in Drosophila

Project description:In all animals, the initial events of embryogenesis are controlled by maternal gene products that are deposited into the developing oocyte. At some point after fertilization, control of embryogenesis is transferred to the zygotic genome in a process called the maternal to zygotic transition (MZT). During this time maternal RNAs are degraded and zygotic RNAs are transcribed1. A long standing question has been, what factors regulate these events? The recent findings that microRNAs and Smaugs mediate maternal transcript degradation brought new life to this old problem2,3, however, the transcription factors that activate zygotic gene expression remained elusive. A clue came from the finding that many early zygotic genes in Drosophila share a cis-regulatory heptamer motif, CAGGTAG and related sequences, collectively referred to as TAG-team sites4,5. We asked whether there was a dedicated transcription factor that interacts with these sites to activate early genes. Here we report the discovery of a zinc-finger protein, Zelda (Zld) that binds specifically to TAG-team sites, and is capable of activating transcription in transient transfection assays. Mutant embryos lacking zld are defective in the cellularization process, and fail to activate the transcription of many early zygotic genes involved in cellularization, sex determination, and dorsoventral patterning. Global expression profiling confirmed that Zld plays a key role in the activation of the early zygotic genome, and suggests that Zld may also play a role in maternal RNA degradation during the MZT since many RNAs are up-regulated in the absence of Zld.
