Alternative Polyadenylation and RNA Splicing Profile during Sheep Zygotic Genome Activation

ABSTRACT: Zygotic genome activation (ZGA) is essential for early embryo development. Here, we reported that ZGA is initiated at 16-cell stage in sheep, as extensive alterations in gene expression and DNA methylation patterns, along with elevated levels of RNA polymerase II and developmental arrest was found at the 16-cell embryos. To uncover the sophisticated RNA metabolism during ZGA, we conducted weighted gene co-expression network analysis and identified 1957 critical maternal genes. Using dapars, we found 1058 and 933 lengthened alternative polyadenylation (APA) events, and genes exhibiting shorten APA were highly expressed in both sheep and mice ZGA-stage embryos. Using rMATs, we reported 2675 and 1963 genes showed exon skipping during ZGA in sheep and mice. These genes are related to RNA binding, translation, gamete generation, and reproduction.

Regulation of alternative polyadenylation by the C2H2-zinc finger protein Sp1 [RNA-Seq]

Project description:About 70% of human genes carry multiple polyadenylation signals, and mRNA 3’end formation is dynamically regulated under different physiological conditions. Global 3’end shortening through alternative polyadenylation (APA) correlates with enhanced cellular proliferation, and 3’ untranslated region (UTR) shortening is a widespread phenomenon in tumour cells, where it appears to enhance tumorigenic properties. However, the mechanisms responsible for this dynamic APA regulation remain incompletely understood. Here we show that transcription factor Sp1 binds directly to RNA in vivo and is a common repressor of distal poly (A) site usage. RNA-sequencing (RNA-seq) analysis identified 2344 genes (36% of total mapped mRNA transcripts) with lengthened 3’UTRs upon Sp1 depletion. Sp1 preferentially binds in vivo within the 3’UTRs of many of these lengthened transcripts and inhibits cleavage at distal sites by interacting physically with subunits of the core cleavage and polyadenylation (CPA) machinery. The 3’UTR lengths of Sp1 target genes in breast cancer patient RNA-seq data correlate with Sp1 expression levels, implicating Sp1-mediated APA regulation in modulating tumorigenic properties. Taken together, our findings reveal an important mechanism for dynamic APA regulation by unraveling a novel function of Sp1.

Quantitative proteomics reveals the dynamic proteome landscape of zebrafish embryos during maternal-to-zygotic transition and its relationship to zygotic genome activation

Project description:Upon fertilization, the embryonic genome remains transcriptionally inactive until the mid-blastula transition. Zygotic genome activation (ZGA) of vertebrate embryos has been extensively studied using nucleic acid-based strategies, but proteomics data are still scarce, impeding the full mechanistic understanding of how ZGA is executed during the maternal-to-zygotic transition (MZT). Here, we performed quantitative proteomics to decipher the proteome landscape of zebrafish embryos during the MZT, quantifying nearly 5,000 proteins across four embryonic stages. The stage-specific clustering based on protein expression pattern revealed that helicases (i.e., eif4a2 and ruvbl1) facilitate pluripotency factors (i.e., nanog, pou5f3, ctcf, and hmga1) triggering ZGA in zebrafish, accompanied by the maternal product decay with P-bodies and ubiquitin dependent proteolytic pathway. Dozens of transcription factors show wave-like expression patterns during MZT, implying their diverse functions in triggering the ZGA and modulating differentiation for organ development. The combination of morpholino knockdown and quantitative proteomics demonstrated that maternal Nanog is required for proper embryogenesis by regulating 1) interactions with other pluripotency factors, 2) F-actin band formation, 3) cell cycle checkpoints and 4) maternal product degradation. This study represents the most systematic proteomics survey of developmentally regulated proteins and their expression profiles accompanying MZT in zebrafish, which is a valuable proteome resource for understanding ZGA.

Developmental features of DNA methylation during activation of the embryonic zebrafish genome

Project description:Zygotic genome activation (ZGA) occurs at the mid-blastula transition (MBT) in zebrafish and is a period of chromatin remodeling. Genome-scale gametic demethylation and remethylation occurs after fertilization, during blastula stages, but how ZGA relates to promoter DNA methylation states is unknown. Using methylated DNA immunoprecipitation coupled to high-density microarray hybridization (MeDIP-ChIP), we characterize genome-wide promoter DNA methylation dynamics before, during and after ZGA onset, in relation changes in post-translational histone modification and gene expression (Series GSE22830). A Kolmogorov-Smirnov (KS) test was applied with P <= 0.01 to identify methylation peaks. MeDIP-chip experiments were performed on24 hpf zebrafish embryos and sperm. Samples were lysed and proteins digested by proteinase k treatment. DNA was extracted with phenol-chloroform-isoamylalcohol and ethanol precipitation. The DNA was RNAse treated and sonicated to fragment lengths between 300-1000 bp. From each stage, duplicate immuneoprecipitations were performed using anti-5-methylcytosine antibody (10 ng/M-BM-5l; Mab-006-100; Diagenode) coupled to Dynabeads M-280 sheep anti-mouse IgG (Invitrogen). MeDIP and input DNA (150 ng each) were amplified (WGA-2; Sigma-Aldrich), cleaned up, eluted and processed for array hybridization. MeDIP and input DNA were labeled and co-hybridized onto the Nimbegen promoter arrays. The array covers 15 kb of upstream regulatory sequence and 5 kb downstream of the TSS of all zebrafish genes. A Kolmogorov-Smirnov (KS) test was applied with P <= 0.01 to identify methylation peaks.

Dynamic RNA-protein interactions underlie the zebrafish maternal-to-zygotic transition

Project description:During the maternal-to-zygotic transition (MZT), transcriptionally silent embryos rely on post-transcriptional regulation of maternal mRNAs until zygotic genome activation (ZGA). RNA-binding proteins (RBPs) are important regulators of post-transcriptional RNA processing events, yet their identities and functions during developmental transitions in vertebrates remain largely unexplored. Using mRNA interactome capture, we identified 227 RBPs in zebrafish embryos before and during ZGA, hereby named the zebrafish MZT mRNAbound proteome. This protein constellation consists of many conserved RBPs, with additional embryo- and stage-specific mRNA interactors that likely reflect the dynamics of RNA-protein interactions during MZT. The enrichment of numerous splicing factors like hnRNP proteins before ZGA was surprising, because maternal mRNAs were found to be fully spliced. To address potentially unique roles of RBPs in embryogenesis, we focused on hnRNP A1. iCLIP and subsequent mRNA reporter assays revealed a function for hnRNP A1 in the regulation of poly(A) tail length and translation of maternal mRNAs through sequence-specific association with 3’UTRs before ZGA. Comparison of iCLIP data from two developmental stages revealed that hnRNP A1 dissociates from maternal mRNAs at ZGA and instead regulates the nuclear processing of pri-miR-430 transcripts, which we validated experimentally. The shift from cytoplasmic to nuclear RNA targets was accompanied by a dramatic translocation of hnRNP A1 and other pre-mRNA splicing factors to the nucleus in a transcription-dependent manner. Thus, our study identifies global changes in RNA-protein interactions during vertebrate MZT and shows that hnRNP A1 RNA-binding activities are spatially and temporally coordinated to regulate RNA metabolism during early development.

Analysis of Chinese sheep preimplantation embryo development and block by single-cell DNA methylome sequencing

Project description:The early stages of mammalian embryonic development involve the participation and cooperation of numerous complex processes, including nutritional, genetic, and epigenetic mechanisms. However, in embryos cultured in vitro, a developmental block occurs that affects embryo development and the efficiency of culture. Although the block period is reported to involve the transcriptional repression of maternal genes and transcriptional activation of zygotic genes, how epigenetic factors regulate developmental block is still unclear. In this study, we systematically analyzed whole-genome methylation levels during five stages of sheep oocyte and preimplantation embryo development using SC-WGBS technology. Then, we examined several million CpG sites in individual cells at each evaluated developmental stage to identify the methylation changes that take place during the development of sheep preimplantation embryos. Our results showed that two strong waves of methylation changes occurred, namely, demethylation at the 8- to 16-cell stage and methylation at the 16- to 32-cell stage. Analysis of DNA methylation patterns in different functional regions revealed a stable hypermethylation status in 3'UTRs and gene bodies; however, significant differences were observed in intergenic and promoter regions at different developmental stages. Changes in methylation at different stages of preimplantation embryo development were also compared to investigate the molecular mechanisms involved in sheep embryo development at the methylation level. In conclusion, we report a detailed analysis of the DNA methylation dynamics during the development of sheep preimplantation embryos. Our results provide an explanation for the complex regulatory mechanisms underlying the embryo developmental block based on changes in DNA methylation levels.
