N6-methyladenosine dynamics during early vertebrate embryogenesis

ABSTRACT: Early vertebrate embryogenesis is characterized by extensive post-transcriptional regulation during the maternal-to-zygotic transition. The N6-methyladenosine (m6A) modifications on mRNA has been shown to affect both translation and stability of transcripts. Here we investigate the m6A topology during early vertebrate embryogenesis and its association with RNA stability, translation efficiency and effect on miR-430 degradation kinetics. Notably, we find a strong association of m6A with cytoplasmic polyadenylation and translational efficiency prior to zygotic genome activation. Genes required for zygotic genome activation such as nanog and pou5f3 display dynamic m6A levels. After zygotic genome activation m6A is associated with improved stability and dampens the effect of miR-430 mediated degradation. Through sequence analyses we identified enrichment of motifs for RNA binding proteins involved in translational regulation and RNA degradation. We propose a role for m6A in multiple mRNA regulatory mechanisms, for the first time in an in vivo system and improve our understanding of the combinatorial code behind the complex post transcriptional regulation of reprogramming during early vertebrate development.

The dynamics and functional impact of transfer RNA repertoires during the maternal to zygotic transition in zebrafish

Project description:Embryogenesis entails dramatic shifts in mRNA translation and turnover to account for gene expression differences during proliferation and cellular differentiation. Codon identity modulates mRNA stability during early vertebrate embryogenesis, but how the composition of tRNA pools adapts to the embryo s translational demand is unknown. By quantitatively profiling the tRNA repertoires of zebrafish embryos during the maternal-to-zygotic transition, here we find that maternal and zygotic tRNA pools are distinct. We show that translational activation during embryogenesis and tRNA gene derepression are temporally coordinated by TORC1 activity, which increases at gastrulation and inactivates the RNA polymerase III repressor Maf1a/b in vivo. Reshaping of tRNA pools results in differential tRNA anticodon supply, but these changes do not alter decoding rates in zebrafish embryos. Instead, our data indicate that tRNA repertoires reflect the inherent codon bias of the zebrafish mRNA transcriptome, and tRNA levels are boosted at gastrulation to ensure efficient translation as embryos enter differentiation.

Transcription profiling of Zebrafish embryos investigating the effect of miR-430 microRNA on deadenylation and clearance of maternal mRNAs

Project description:MicroRNAs comprise 1-3% of all vertebrate genes, but their in vivo functions and mechanisms of action remain largely unknown. Zebrafish miR-430 is expressed at the onset of zygotic transcription and regulates morphogenesis during early development. Using a microarray approach and in vivo target validation, we find that miR-430 directly regulates several hundred target mRNAs. Targets are highly enriched for maternal mRNAs that accumulate in the absence of miR-430. We also show that miR-430 accelerates the deadenylation of target mRNAs. These results suggest that miR-430 facilitates the deadenylation and clearance of maternal mRNAs during early embryogenesis. Experiment Overall Design: As a first step towards the identification of miR-430 targets, we compared the rate of mRNA degradation in wild type and maternal-zygotic (MZ) dicer mutant embryos, which are deficient in miRNA processing. We found that the rate of degradation of a target mRNA with partial complementarity to miR-430 is significantly reduced in MZdicer mutants. Providing miR-430 duplexes to MZdicer mutants restores the rate of target decay. These results indicate that miR-430 enhances the decay of target mRNAs. Experiment Overall Design: To identify miR-430 in vivo targets, we compared the mRNA expression profile of embryos that were wild-type, MZdicer, or MZdicer rescued with miR-430 (MZdicer+miR-430). This analysis identified ~600 genes that were upregulated in MZdicer, but not in MZdicer+miR-430. Experiment Overall Design: We have also analyzed the expression profile of the genes in the array at three different time points, one maternal stage(16 cell), and two Zygotic stages 5 hours and 9 hours

Massively parallel reporter assay of 3’UTR sequences identifies in vivo rules for mRNA degradation

Project description:The stability of mRNAs is regulated by signals within their sequences, but a systematic and predictive understanding of the underlying sequence rules remains elusive. Here, we introduce UTR-Seq, a combination of massively parallel reporter assays and regression models, to survey the dynamics of tens-of-thousands of 3’UTR sequences during early zebrafish embryogenesis. UTR-Seq revealed two temporal degradation programs: a maternally encoded early-onset program and a late-onset program that accelerated degradation after zygotic genome activation. Three signals regulated early-onset rates: stabilizing poly-U and UUAG sequences, and destabilizing GC-rich signals. Three signals explained late-onset degradation: miR-430 seeds, AU-rich sequences and Pumilio recognition sites. Sequence based regression models translated 3’UTRs into their unique decay patterns, and predicted the in vivo impact of sequence signals on mRNA stability. Their application led to the successful design of artificial 3’UTRs that conferred specific mRNA dynamics. UTR-Seq provides a general strategy to uncover the rules of RNA cis-regulation.

The F-box protein Bard (CG14317) targets the Smaug RNA-binding protein for destruction during the Drosophila maternal-to-zygotic transition

Project description:During the maternal-to-zygotic transition (MZT), which encompasses the earliest stages of animal embryogenesis, a subset of maternally supplied gene products is cleared, thus permitting activation of zygotic gene expression. In the Drosophila melanogaster embryo, the RNA-binding protein Smaug plays an essential role in progression through the MZT by regulating the translational repression and degradation of a large number of maternal mRNA species. The Smaug protein itself is rapidly cleared at the end of the MZT by the Skp/Cullin/F-box (SCF) E3-ligase complex; clearance of Smaug requires zygotic transcription. Here, we show that an F-box protein, which we name Bard (encoded by CG14317), is required for degradation of Smaug. Bard is expressed zygotically and physically interacts with Smaug at the end of the MZT, coincident with binding of the maternal SCF proteins, SkpA and Cullin1, and with degradation of Smaug. We show that shRNA-mediated knock-down of Bard or deletion of the bard gene in the early embryo results in stabilization of Smaug protein, a phenotype that is rescued by transgenes expressing Bard .

TimeLapse-seq reveals that ALKBH5 modulates RNA stability of metabolic transcripts

Project description:N6-methyadenosine (m6A) RNA modification controls numerous cellular processes through regulation of RNA stability and translational efficiency. Whether the RNA m6A modification regulates energy metabolism process by posttranscriptional regulation is unknown. We here show that loss of the m6A demethylase ALKBH5 results in instability of oxogluatarate-dehydrogenase (Ogdh) messenger RNA and transcripts of other metabolic enzymes.

Slam-seq reveals that miR-430 regulates zygotic mRNA during zebrafish embryogenesis [lna_data]

Project description:Background: Early embryonic developmental programs are guided by the coordinated interplay between maternally inherited and zygotically manufactured RNAs and proteins. Although these processes happen concomitantly and affecting gene function during this period is bound to affect both pools of mRNAs, it has been challenging to study their expression dynamics separately. Results: By employing Slam-seq, a nascent mRNA labeling transcriptomic approach, in a developmental time series we observe that over half of the early zebrafish embryo transcriptome consists of maternal-zygotic genes, emphasizing their pivotal role in early embryogenesis. We provide an hourly resolution of de novo transcriptional waves and follow nascent mRNA trajectories, finding that most de novo transcriptional events are stable throughout this period. Additionally, by blocking microRNA430 function, a key post-transcriptional regulator during zebrafish embryogenesis, we directly show that it destabilizes hundreds of de novo transcribed mRNAs from pure zygotic as well as maternal-zygotic genes. This unveils a novel miR-430 function during embryogenesis, fine-tuning zygotic gene expression, which highlights that Slam-seq can be used to disentangle transcriptional and post-transcriptional regulation of mRNA levels. Conclusion: Such valuable insights into zebrafish early embryo transcriptome dynamics emphasize the significance of post-transcriptional regulators in zygotic genome activation. These findings pave the way for future investigations into the coordinated interplay between transcriptional and post-transcriptional landscapes required for the establishment of animal cell identities and functions.
