NAT10-mediated mRNA N4-acetylcytidine is Essential for the Translational Regulation of Oocyte Meiotic Maturation in Mice

ABSTRACT: Mammalian oocyte maturation is driven by strictly translational regulation of maternal mRNAs stored in the cytoplasm. However, the function and mechanism of post-transcriptional chemical modifications especially the newly identified N4-acetylcytidine (ac4C) catalyzed by N-acetyltransferase 10 (NAT10) in this process are previously unknown. In this study, we developed a low-input ac4C sequencing technology - ac4C LACE-seq and mapped 8241 ac4C peaks at the whole transcriptome level using 50 mouse oocytes at the germinal vesicle (GV) stage. We profiled the mRNA landscapes of NAT10-interactions and ac4C modifications. The NAT10-interacted and ac4C modified transcripts displayed association with high translation efficiency in oocytes. Oocyte-specific Nat10 knockout wiped out ac4C signals in oocytes and caused severe defects in meiotic maturation and female infertility. ac4C LACE-seq results indicated that Nat10 deletion led to a failure of ac4C deposition on mRNAs encoding key maternal factors such as MAY2, ZAR1, BTG4 and cyclin B1 that regulate transcriptome stability and maternal-to-zygotic transition. Nat10-deleted oocytes had decreased mRNA translation efficiencies during meiotic maturation, partially due to the direct inhibition ac4C sites on specific transcripts. In sum, we developed low-input, high-sensitivity mRNA ac4C profiling approach and highlighted the important physiological function of ac4C in precise regulation of the oocyte meiotic maturation by enhancing translation efficiency.

NAT10-mediated mRNA N4-acetylation is Essential for the Translational Regulation During Oocyte Meiotic Maturation in Mice

NAT10-mediated N4-acetylcytidine of RNA Contributes to Post-transcriptional Regulation of Mouse Oocyte Maturation In Vitro

Project description:N4-acetylcytidine (ac4C), a newly identified epigenetic modification within mRNAs, has been characterized as a crucial regulator of mRNA stability and translation efficiency. And NAT10 is the only known RNA acetyltransferase. In our study, we documented the down-regulated expression of both ac4C and NAT10 during meiotic maturation of mouse oocytes. NAT10 knockdown resulted in ac4C reduction and impaired mouse oocyte maturation in vitro. These results indicated that NAT10-mediated ac4C modification plays a critical regulatory role in oocyte meiotic maturation. We further performed high-throughput sequencing with NAT10-overexpressed HEK293T cells and NAT10-binding transcripts to investigate the genes modulated by NAT10-mediated ac4C modification.

LSM14B is essential for oocyte meiotic maturation by regulating maternal mRNA storage and clearance

Project description:Fully grown oocytes remain transcriptionally quiescent, yet many maternal mRNAs are synthesized and retained in growing oocytes. We now know that maternal mRNAs are stored in a structure called the mitochondria associated ribonucleoprotein domain (MARDO). But the components and functions of MARDO remain elusive. Here, we found that LSM14B knockout prevents the proper storage and timely clearance of mRNAs (including Cyclin B1, Btg4, and other mRNAs that are translationally activated during meiotic maturation), specifically by disrupting MARDO assembly during oocyte growth and meiotic maturation. With decreased levels of storage and clearance, the LSM14B knockout oocytes failed to enter meiosis II, ultimately resulting in female infertility. Our results demonstrate the function of LSM14B in MARDO assembly, couple the MARDO with mRNA clearance and oocyte meiotic maturation

Mammalian oocytes store mRNAs in a mitochondria-associated membraneless compartment

Project description:Fully-grown oocytes are transcriptionally silent and must stably maintain mRNAs needed for oocyte meiotic maturation and early embryonic development. However, where and how mammalian oocytes store maternal mRNAs is unclear. Here, we report that mammalian oocytes accumulate mRNAs in a mitochondria-associated ribonucleoprotein domain (MARDO). MARDO assembly around mitochondria was promoted by the RNA-binding protein ZAR1, and directed by an increase in mitochondrial membrane potential during oocyte growth. MARDO foci coalesced into hydrogel-like matrices that clustered mitochondria. Maternal mRNAs stored in the MARDO were translationally repressed. Loss of ZAR1 disrupted the MARDO, dispersed mitochondria, and caused a premature loss of MARDO-localized mRNAs. Thus, a mitochondria-associated membraneless compartment controls mitochondrial distribution and regulates maternal mRNA storage, translation and decay to ensure fertility in mammals.

Dynamic mRNA Degradome Analyses Indicate a Role of Histone H3K4 Trimethylation in Association with Meiosis-coupled mRNA Decay in Oocyte Aging

Project description:A decrease in oocyte developmental potential is a major obstacle for successful pregnancy in women of advanced age. However, the age-related epigenetic modifications associated with dynamic transcriptome changes, particularly meiotic maturation-coupled mRNA clearance, have not been adequately characterized in human oocytes. This study demonstrate a decreased storage of transcripts encoding key factors regulating the maternal mRNA degradome in fully grown oocytes of women of advanced age. A similar defect in meiotic maturation-triggered mRNA clearance was also detected in aged mouse oocytes. Mechanistically, the epigenetic and cytoplasmic aspects of oocyte maturation are synchronized in both the normal development and aging processes. The level of histone H3K4 trimethylation (H3K4me3) was high in fully grown mouse and human oocytes derived from young females but decreased during aging due to the decreased expression of epigenetic factors responsible for H3K4me3 accumulation. Oocyte-specific knockout of the gene encoding CxxC-finger protein 1 (CXXC1), a DNA-binding subunit of SETD1 methyltransferase, caused ooplasm changes associated with accelerated aging and impaired maternal mRNA translation and degradation. These results suggest that a network of CXXC1-maintained H3K4me3, in association with mRNA decay competence, sets a timer for oocyte deterioration and plays a role in oocyte aging in both mouse and human oocytes.

NAT10-mediated N4-Acetylcytidine is Required for Spermatogenesis and Male Fertility

Project description:RNA modifications are rapidly emerging as critical post-transcriptional regulators which play a key role in various biological processes. N4-acetylcysteine (ac4C) is one of the “epi-transcriptome” that is present on tRNA, rRNA, mRNA and is also highly conserved in all species. However, cytidine acetylation's in vivo physiological functions remain poorly understood particularly in mammals. Here we demonstrate only known ac4C “writer”—N-acetyltransferase 10 (NAT10) plays essential roles in male reproduction. NAT10 protein and the ac4C modification have different patterns in different organs and there are dynamic changes during spermatogenesis. Germ cell-specific ablation of NAT10 severely inhibited meiotic entry and defects in synapse the homologous chromosomes, repair of DNA double-strand breaks (DSBs) during prophase of the first meiotic division. ac4C RIP-qPCR reveals genes functioning in meiotic prophase I show a decrease in Nat10fl/-; Stra8 GFP-Cre mouse testes. These findings highlight the crucial physiological functions of mRNA ac4C modification in male spermatogenesis and expand our understanding of mRNA ac4C modification in the regulation of specific physiological processes in vivo.

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.

The E2 SUMO-conjugating enzyme UBE2I is essential for chromatin dynamics and transcriptional silencing in mouse oocytes

Project description:In mammals, meiotically competent oocytes develop cyclically during ovarian folliculogenesis. During their development, prophase I arrested oocytes are highly transcriptionally active in preparation for the resumption of meiosis and early stages of embryogenesis prior to the maternal to zygotic transition. Defective oocyte development during folliculogenesis leads to meiotic defects, aneuploidy, follicular atresia, or non-viable embryos. SUMOylation, a dynamic post-translational protein modification, is essential for oocyte development during folliculogenesis and to regulate meiotic maturation in mice. We generated a novel oocyte-specific knockout of Ube2i, the sole SUMO E2 ligase, to test its role growing ovarian follicles using Zp3-cre. Ube2i Zp3-cre+ female mice are sterile with oocytes with defects in meiotic progression but not meiotic resumption. Importantly, fully grown oocytes do not silence transcription and prematurely activate the zygotic transcriptional program. This work uncovers unknown functions of UBE2i as a key orchestrator of chromatin and transcriptional regulation in 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.
