Profiling and functional characterization of maternal mRNA translation in mouse maternal-to-zygotic transition

ABSTRACT: Translational regulation plays an important role in gene expression and function. Although the transcriptional dynamics of mouse pre-implantation embryos has been well characterized, the global mRNA translation landscape and the master regulators of zygotic genome activation (ZGA) remain unknown. Here, by developing and applying a low-input ribosome profiling (LiRibo-seq) technique, we profiled the mRNA translation landscape in mouse pre-implantation embryos and revealed the translational dynamics during mouse pre-implantation development. We identified a dramatic translational transition from MII oocytes to zygotes, and demonstrated that active translation of maternal mRNAs is essential for maternal-to-zygotic transition (MZT). We further showed that two maternal factors, Smarcd2 and Cyclin T2, whose translation is activated in zygotes, are required for chromatin reprogramming and ZGA, respectively. Our study thus not only filled in a knowledge gap on translational regulation during mammalian pre-implantation development, but also revealed new insights into the critical function of maternal mRNA translation in MZT.

Ultrasensitive proteomics depicted an in-depth landscape for the very early stage of mouse maternal-to-zygotic transition

Project description:Maternal-to-zygotic transition (MZT) is a conserved and fundamental process during which the maternal environment of oocyte transits to the zygotic genome driven expression program, and terminally differentiated oocyte and sperm are reprogrammed to totipotency. Metaphase II (MII) oocytes and zygotes (one-cell embryo) serve as the mature oocyte and the initiation of pre-implantation embryo development respectively, and characterizing their molecular landscapes at protein levels plays an important role in uncovering MZT and zygotic genome activation (ZGA )in mammals. Here we used an ultrasensitive proteomic approach to depict an in-depth landscape for the very early stage of mouse MZT.

Nanog, SoxB1 and Pou5f1/Oct4 regulate widespread zygotic gene activation during the maternal-to-zygotic transition

Project description:Upon fertilization, maternal factors direct development in a transcriptionally silent embryo. At the maternal-to-zygotic transition (MZT), a universal step in animal development, unknown maternal factors trigger zygotic genome activation (ZGA). In zebrafish, ZGA is required for gastrulation and clearance of maternal mRNAs, which is achieved in part by the conserved microRNA miR-430. However, the precise factors that activate the zygotic program remain largely unknown. Here we show that Nanog, Pou5f1 and SoxB1 are required for genome activation in zebrafish. We identified several hundred genes directly activated by maternal factors, thus constituting the first wave of zygotic transcription in zebrafish. Ribosome profiling in the pre-MZT embryo revealed that nanog, sox19b and pou5f1 are the most highly translated transcription factor mRNAs. Combined loss of function for Nanog, SoxB1 and Pou5f1 resulted in developmental arrest prior to gastrulation, and a failure to activate >75% of zygotic genes. Furthermore, we found that Nanog binds the miR-430 locus and together with Pou5f1 and SoxB1 initiate miR-430 expression and activity. Our results demonstrate that maternal Nanog, Pou5f1 and SoxB1 are required to initiate the zygotic developmental program and in turn trigger the clearance of the maternal program by activating miR-430 expression.

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.

Dynamic landscapes of H3K27ac in mouse preimplantation embryos

Project description:Histone acetylation H3K27ac is a well-established chromatin marker for active enhancers and promoters. However, reprogramming dynamics of H3K27ac during maternal-to-zygotic transition (MZT) in mammalian embryos has not been well studied. By profiling the allelic landscape of H3K27ac during mouse MZT, here we show that H3K27ac undergoes three waves of rapid global transitions from oocyte to 2-cell stages. Notably, germinal vesicle (GV) oocyte and zygote are globally hyperacetylated by forming noncanonical broad H3K27ac domains that correlate with broad H3K4me3 and open chromatin. H3K27ac also marks genomic regions primed for activation including ZGA gene promoters, retrotransposons, and active alleles of imprinted genes. Importantly, both CBP/p300 and HDAC activities play important roles in regulating the H3K27ac dynamics and are essential for pre-implantation development. Specifically, CBP/p300 deposits broad H3K27ac domains in zygotes and open condensed chromatin at putative enhancers to ensure proper ZGA. In contrast, HDACs mediate the broad to canonical H3K27ac transition to safeguard ZGA by preventing premature expression of developmental genes and promoting ZGA gene activation. Our study demonstrates that coordinated activities of CBP/p300 and HDACs during mouse MZT are essential for ZGA and mouse pre-implantation development.

Knockdown of YBX1 impairs alternative splicing and maternal mRNA decay during pre-implantation development

Project description:In mammals, maternal gene products decay and zygotic genome activation (ZGA) onsets during maternal to zygotic transition (MZT). Y-box binding protein YBX1 plays vital roles in RNA stabilization and transcriptional regulation, but its roles in pre-implantation development remain to be elucidated. In the present study, we aim to investigate the role of YBX1 during goat MZT and further explore the molecular mechanisms. The expression of YBX1 was increased during MZT in goat, bovine, human, and mice. We successfully knocked down YBX1 by microinjection of siRNA against YBX1, and the embryo development was impaired when YBX1 was knocked down. Using RNA-seq, we identified 1623 up-regulated and 3531 down-regulated genes in the 8-cell stage YBX1 knockdown embryos. GO/KEGG/GSEA enrichment analysis revealed that the down-regulated genes were enriched in regulation of RNA/mRNA stability and spliceosome, suggesting that YBX1 might medicate pre-implantation development by alternative splicing and maternal mRNA decay. To this end, we identified 3284 differential alternative splicing events and 1322 differentially expressed maternal mRNAs at the 8-cell stage YBX1 knockdown embryos compared to the controls. Moreover, the splicing factors and mRNA decay related genes were aberrantly expressed. Lastly, knockdown of YBX1 impaired transcriptional activity during ZGA in goat and mice as revealed by 5-EU staining. Our results identify that YBX1 serves an important role in maternal mRNA decay, alternative splicing, and the transcriptional activity required for early embryogenesis, which will broaden the current understanding of YBX1 functions during the stochastic reprogramming events.

Maternal to zygotic transition：A two-step process with two phases of ZGA occurs in zygote right after fertilization in Arabidopsis

Project description:The goal of the present study is to analyze the characteristics of maternal to zygotic transition (MZT) in Arabidopsis. The maternal-to-zygotic transition (MZT) is an essential developmental turning point during the alternation of generations in both plants and animals. In animals, early embryogenesis is maternally controlled and zygotic genome activation (ZGA) starts much later. However, in plants, the timing of MZT and parental contributions to the zygotic transcriptome remain unclear. To address above mentioned questions, we selected Arabidopsis as model plant for the analysis. Regarding to the characteristics of MZT, egg cells, embryos including spherical zygote, elongated zygote, 1-cell embryo and 32-cell embryo were isolated and collected for RNA sequencing. Hybrid zygotes at two representative stages from the reciprocal crosses between polymorphic Arabidopsis Columbia (Col) and Landsberg erecta (Ler) accessions were also sequenced for investigating the parental contributions. We demonstrate that plant MZT occurs during the zygote stage and is a two-step process, first involving rapid maternal transcript degradation and, second, large-scale de novo transcription. Parental contributions to the zygotic transcriptome are stage dependent over the course of zygote development; the spherical zygote is characterized by a maternally dominated transcriptome, whereas the elongated zygote genome shows equal parental contributions.

Reading and writing of mRNA m6A modification orchestrate mouse maternal-to-zygotic transition

Project description:Background: Maternal and zygotic mRNAs play critical roles in maternal-to-zygotic transition (MZT) stage and N6-methyladenosine (m6A) has been proven as an important RNA metabolism regulation system. However, the dynamic profiles of m6A modification during mammalian MZT and its potential functions remain largely unknown. Results: Here we utilized m6A-seq, low-input RNA-seq, LiRibo-seq and low-input proteomic analysis to examine the mRNA regulation dynamics during mouse MZT. We found that m6A could be inherited from maternal origin or de novo added after fertilization. Interestingly, we observed the de novo m6A modification on mRNA during zygotic genome activation (ZGA), especially at major ZGA. Further analysis showed that m6A modification on maternal mRNAs not only correlates with mRNA degradation after fertilization, but also maintains the stability of a small group of mRNAs thereby promoting their translation after fertilization. Using CRISPR-Cas13d mediated RNA editing, we systemically evaluated the functions of ten m6A regulators and identified Ythdc1 and Ythdf2 as key m6A readers for mouse preimplantation development. By combining low-input RNA-seq, RNA immunoprecipitation (RIP) and qRT-PCR, we uncovered and verified that Ythdc1 can associate with a small group of m6A-tagged mRNAs and participate in their mRNA stability regulation. Conclusions: Our integrated multi-omic analysis links m6A modification to the diverse fates of maternal and zygotic mRNAs and establishes a key role of m6A mediated RNA metabolism in mammalian MZT.

Maternal RNF114 plays critical roles in activation of the early zygotic genome through promoting ubiquitin-mediated degradation of Chromobox protein CBX5

Project description:Zygotic genomic activation (ZGA) is a landmark event in the maternal-to-zygotic transition (MZT), and the regulation of ZGA by maternal factors remains to be elucidated. In this study, the depletion of maternal RNF114 led to 2-cell embryos developmental arrest in mice. RNF114 was proven to play an important role in major ZGA using ethynyl uridine (EU) incorporation and transcriptome analysis. To study the underlying mechanism, we performed protein profiling in mature oocytes and found a potential substrate for RNF114, Chromobox protein CBX5, whose ubiquitination and degradation was regulated by RNF114. Furthermore, the overexpression of CBX5 prevented embryonic development and impeded major ZGA. In summary, our study reveals that maternal RNF114, as a ubiquitin E3 ligase, plays a precise role in mediating the degradation of repressive protein CBX5 during MZT, the misregulation of which may impede the appropriate activation of major ZGA in mouse embryos.

A low-input proteomic analysis of mouse maternal-to-zygotic transition

Project description:Maternal-to-zygotic transition (MZT) is a conserved and fundamental process during which the maternal environment of oocyte transits to the zygotic genome driven expression program, and terminally differentiated oocyte and sperm are reprogrammed to totipotency. It is initiated by maternal mRNAs and proteins during the period of zygotic genome quiescence after fertilization, followed by a gradual switch to zygotic genome activation and accompanied by clearance of maternal RNAs and proteins. A key question for embryonic development is how MZT process is regulated. Here we used a low-input proteomic analysis to measure the proteomic dynamics during early development of mouse maternal-to-zygotic transition.
