PATL2 mutations affect human oocyte maternal mRNA homeostasis and protein interactions in cell cycle regulation.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Oocyte maturation defect (OMD) and early embryonic arrest result in female infertility. Previous studies have linked biallelic mutations in the PATL2 gene to OMD, yet the underlying mechanism remains largely unknown.

Results

This study uncovers three novel mutations (c.1201G > T, c.1284delA and c.1613 + 2_1613 + 3insGT) and three reported mutations (c.1204 C > T, c.1271T > C, c.223 - 14_223-2delCCCTCCTGTTCCA) in the PATL2 gene across five unrelated individuals exhibiting OMD, oocyte death, and early embryonic arrest. RNA sequencing revealed that PATL2 mutations decreased mRNA storage in human germinal vesicle (GV) oocytes and impeded mRNA decay during maturation and in early embryos. We demonstrate that PATL2 interacts with CPEB1 and TUT7 in human oocytes to maint
