Project description:The function and retention/reprogramming of epigenetic marks during the germline-to-embryo transition is a key issue in developmental and cellular biology, with relevance to stem cell programming and trans-generational inheritance. In zebrafish, DNAme patterns are programmed in transcriptionally-quiescent early cleavage embryos; paternally-inherited patterns are maintained, whereas maternal patterns are reprogrammed to match the paternal pattern. Here we show that a ‘placeholder’ nucleosome, containing the histone H2A variant H2A.Z(FV) and H3K4me1, occupies virtually all regions lacking DNAme in both sperm and cleavage embryos – residing at promoters encoding housekeeping and early embryonic transcription factors. Upon genome-wide transcriptional onset, genes with the Placeholder become either active H3K4me3-marked or silent H3K4me3/K27me3-marked (bivalent). Importantly, functional perturbation causing Placeholder loss confers DNAme acquisition, whereas acquisition/expansion of Placeholder confers DNA hypomethylation and improper gene activation. Thus, during transcriptionally quiescent stages (gamete-zygote-cleavage), an H2A.Z(FV)/H3K4me1-containing Placeholder nucleosome deters DNAme, poising parental genes for either gene-specific activation or facultative repression.

Project description:In most species, early germline development occurs in the absence of transcription with germline determinants subject to complex translational and post-translational regulations. Here, we report for the first time that early germline development is influenced by dynamic regulation of the proteasome system, previously thought to be ubiquitously expressed and to serve ‘housekeeping’ roles in controlling protein homeostasis. We show that proteasomes are present in a gradient with highest levels in the animal hemisphere but extending into the vegetal hemisphere of Xenopus oocytes. This distribution changes dramatically during the oocyte-to-embryo transition, with proteasomes becoming enriched in and restricted to the animal hemisphere and therefore separated from vegetally localized germline determinants. We identify Dead-end1 (Dnd1), a master regulator of vertebrate germline development, as a novel substrate of the ubiquitin-independent proteasomes. In the oocyte, ubiquitin-independent proteasomal degradation acts together with translational repression to prevent premature accumulation of Dnd1 protein. In the embryo, artificially increasing ubiquitin-independent proteasomal degradation in the vegetal pole interferes with germline development. Our work thus reveals novel inhibitory functions and spatial regulation of the ubiquitin-independent proteasome during vertebrate germline development.
