Nuclear Poly(A) Binding Protein 1 (PABPN1) Mediates Zygotic Genome Activation-dependent Maternal mRNA Clearance During Mouse Early Embryonic Development

ABSTRACT: An embryo starts its life with maternal mRNA clearance, which is crucial for embryonic development. The elimination of maternal transcripts occurs by the joint action of two pathways: the first is a maternally encoded mRNA decay pathway (M-decay), while the second is zygotic genome activation (ZGA)-dependent pathway (Z-decay). However, the zygotic factors triggering maternal mRNA decay in early mammalian embryos remain largely unknown. In this study, we identify the zygotically encoded nuclear poly(A) binding protein 1 (PABPN1) as a factor required for maternal mRNA turnover, with an unpredictable cytoplasmic function. Cytoplasmic PABPN1 docks on 3ʹ-uridylated transcripts, downstream of terminal uridylyl transferases TUT4 and TUT7, and recruits 3ʹ-5ʹ exoribonuclease DIS3L2 to its targets, facilitating the decay of maternal mRNA. Pabpn1-knockout in mice resulted in preimplantation-stage mortality, due to early developmental arrest at the morula stage. This study characterizes the presence of a zygotic destabilizer of maternal mRNA and helps in elucidating the Z-decay process mechanisms, which potentially contribute to human fertility.

Characterization of Zygotic Genome Activation-dependent Maternal mRNA Clearance in Mammals

Project description:A conserved event of the maternal-to-zygotic transition (MZT) in animal embryos is the elimination of a subset of the maternal transcripts that accumulated during oogenesis. In invertebrates and lower vertebrates, a maternally encoded mRNA decay pathway (M-decay) acts before zygotic genome activation (ZGA) while a second pathway, which requires zygotic transcription, subsequently clears additional mRNAs (Z-decay). To date it has not been clear whether a Z-decay pathway is present in mammals. Here, we identify mouse and human maternal transcripts that are degraded after ZGA and show that inhibition of de novo transcription stabilizes these mRNAs in mouse and human embryos. We show that YAP1-TEAD4 transcription factor-mediated transcription is essential for Z-decay in mouse embryos and that TEAD4-triggered zygotic Tut4/7 expression and mRNA 3ʹ-oligouridylation direct Z-decay.

Nuclear Poly(A)-binding Protein 1-like (PABPN1L) Mediates Cytoplasmic mRNA Decay As a Placeholder during Maternal-to-zygotic Transition

Project description:Maternal mRNA degradation is a critical event of maternal-to-zygotic transition (MZT) that determines the developmental potential of early embryos. Nuclear Poly(A)-binding proteins (PABPNs) are extensively involved in mRNA post-transcriptional regulations, but their functions in mammalian MZT has not been investigated. In this study, we identified a novel maternal-effect factor PABPN1-like (PABPN1L), rather than its ubiquitously expressed homolog PABPN1, as an RNA-binding adapter of the mammalian MZT licensing factor BTG4 which mediates maternal mRNAs clearance. Female Pabpn1l null mice produced morphologically normal oocytes but were infertile owing to early developmental arrest of the resultant embryos at the 1-to-2-cell stages without undergoing ZGA. Deletion of Pabpn1l impairs the deadenylation and degradation of a subset of BTG4-targeted maternal mRNAs during MZT. In addition to recruiting BTG4 to the mRNA 3ʹ-poly(A) tails, PABPN1L is also required for BTG4 protein accumulation in maturing oocytes by protecting BTG4 from SCF-βTrCP1 E3 ubiquitin ligase-mediated polyubiquitination and degradation. This study highlights a noncanonical cytoplasmic function of nuclear poly(A)-binding proteins mRNA turnover as well as its physiological importance during MZT.

ZAR1 and ZAR2 are Required for Oocyte Meiotic Maturation by Regulating the Maternal Transcriptome and mRNA Translational Activation

Project description:Zar1 was the first mammalian maternal-effect gene to be identified. Embryos derived from Zar1-null female mice are blocked before zygotic genome activation; however, the underlying mechanism remains unclear. By knocking out Zar1 and its homolog Zar2 in mice, we revealed a novel function of these genes in oocyte meiotic maturation. Zar1/2-deleted oocytes displayed delayed meiotic resumption and polar body-1 emission and a higher incidence of abnormal meiotic spindle formation and chromosome aneuploidy. The grown oocytes of Zar1/2-null mice contained fewer total mRNAs and displayed a reduced level of protein synthesis. Key maturation-associated changes failed to occur in the Zar1/2-null oocytes, including the translational activation of maternal mRNAs encoding the cell cycle proteins cyclin B1 and WEE2, as well as maternal-to-zygotic transition (MZT) licensing factor BTG4. Consequently, maternal mRNA decay was impaired and MZT was abolished. ZAR1/2 bound mRNAs to regulate the translational activity of their 3ʹ-UTRs and interacted with other oocyte proteins, including mRNA-stabilizing protein MSY2 and cytoplasmic lattice components. These results countered the traditional view that ZAR1 only functions after fertilization and highlight a previously unrecognized role of ZAR1/2 in regulating the maternal transcriptome and translational activation in maturing oocytes.

Nuclear mRNA processing domain formed by PABPN1 - mRNA phase separation is essential for the growth of oocytes and female reproduction

Project description:The growing oocytes stored a large amount of maternal mRNA to support the subsequent "maternal-zygotic transition" process, which is a key regulatory events in female reproduction. The accumulation of maternal mRNA in the growing oocyte determines the developmental potential of the oocyte. At present, it is not clear how the growing oocytes store and process the newly transcribed mRNA under physiological conditions, including the distribution and localization of mRNA in the oocyte, as well as the molecular mechanism and physiological significance of this localization. In this study, we found that poly(A) tailed mRNA has the dynamic distributions of droplet fusion and gradual disappearance in the mouse nucleus as oocyte growth and meiotic maturation. Our research found that PABPN1 modulated the dynamic compartmentalization of mRNA with poly(A) tails to form NmPD (nuclear mRNA processing domain) during the growing oocytes through phase separation. The NmPD in Pabpn1-null oocytes could not form the compartmentalized distribution, and the Pabpn1 knockout females were sterile with defects of premature ovarian failure. Combined with multi-omics sequencing analysis, we investigate that NmPD was essential for long 3'-UTR isoform formation and the stability of mRNA in growing oocytes.

ME31B/DDX6 globally represses maternal mRNAs by two distinct mechanisms during the Drosophila maternal-to-zygotic transition

Project description:Using RNA immunoprecipitation sequencing, we found that ME31B binding represses expression of thousands of genes in the Drosophila early embryo, but the mechanism by which ME31B acts changes: before the maternal-to-zygotic transition, ME31B represses translation, while afterwards, it stimulates mRNA decay.

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

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 .

Maternal mRNA degradation by TUT4 and TUT7 in the zebrafish maternal-to-zygotic transition

Project description:During the maternal-to-zygotic transition (MZT), maternal RNAs are actively degraded and replaced by newly-synthesized zygotic transcripts in a highly coordinated manner. However, it remains largely unknown how maternal mRNA decay is triggered in early vertebrate embryos. Here, through genome-wide profiling of RNA abundance and 3′ modification, we show that uridylation is induced at the onset of maternal mRNA clearance. The temporal control of uridylation is conserved in vertebrates. When the homologs of terminal uridylyltransferases TUT4 and TUT7 (TUT4/7) are depleted in zebrafish and Xenopus, maternal mRNA clearance is significantly delayed, leading to developmental defects during gastrulation. Short-tailed mRNAs are selectively uridylated by TUT4/7, with the highly uridylated transcripts degraded faster during the MZT than those with unmodified poly(A) tails. Our study demonstrates that uridylation plays a crucial role in timely mRNA degradation, thereby allowing the progression of early development.

Codon usage and 3â² UTR length determine maternal mRNA stability in zebrafish

Project description:The control of mRNA stability plays a central role in regulating gene expression. In metazoans, the earliest stages of development are driven by maternally supplied mRNAs. The degradation of these maternal mRNAs is critical for promoting the maternal-to-zygotic transition of developmental programs, although the underlying mechanisms are poorly understood in vertebrates. Here, we characterized maternal mRNA degradation pathways in zebrafish using a transcriptome analysis and systematic reporter assays. Our data demonstrate that ORFs enriched with uncommon codons promote deadenylation by the CCR4-NOT complex in a translation-dependent manner. This codon-mediated mRNA decay is conditional on the context of the 3â² UTR, with long 3â² UTRs conferring resistance to deadenylation. These results indicate that the combined effect of codon usage and 3â² UTR length determines the stability of maternal mRNAs in zebrafish embryos. Our study thus highlights the codon-mediated mRNA decay as a conserved regulatory mechanism in eukaryotes. zebrafish embryonic mRNA profile at 2 different stages (2 hpf and 6 hpf) in wildtype and 3 additional conditions (miR-430 inhibition, RNApol II inhibition and CNOT7 inhibition) at 6 hpf. All experiments are performed as triplicates
