Selective binding of retrotransposons by ZFP352 facilitates the timely dissolution of totipotency network

ABSTRACT: Acquisition of new stem cell fates relies on the dissolution of the prior regulatory network sustaining the existing cell fates. Currently, extensive insights have been revealed for the totipotency regulatory network around the zygotic genome activation (ZGA) period. However, how the dissolution of the totipotency network is triggered to ensure the timely embryonic development following ZGA is largely unknown. In this study, we identified the unexpected role of a highly expressed 2C embryo specific transcription factor, ZFP352, in facilitating the dissolution of the totipotency network. We found that ZFP352 has bifurcated binding and regulation towards two different retrotransposon sub-families. ZFP352 coordinates with DUX to bind and regulate the 2C specific MT2_Mm sub-family. On the other hand, without DUX, ZFP352 switched affinity to bind extensively onto SINE_B1/Alu sub-family. This leads to the activation of later developmental programs like ubiquitination pathways, to facilitate the dissolution of the 2C state. Correspondingly, depleting ZFP352 in mouse embryos impaired the 2C to morula transition process. Thus, through differential regulation of MT2_Mm and SINE_B1/Alu, ZFP352 can trigger spontaneous dissolution of the totipotency network. Our study highlights the importance of different retrotransposons sub-families in facilitating the timely and programmed cell fates transition during early embryogenesis.

Duxbl-mediated suppression of ZGA drives totipotency to pluripotency transition in mice III

Project description:In mammalian embryos, Dux transcription factors (TF) drive a cleavage stage-specific transcriptional burst associated with zygotic genome activation (ZGA) during which hundreds of genes and endogenous retroviral (ERV) elements are transiently expressed. In mice, ZGA begins in late 1-cell (1C) embryos and is shut down within hours at the late 2-cell (2C) to 4-cell (4C) stage. While this transition is accompanied by the loss of totipotency, it is not clear whether shutdown of Dux-induced ZGA is required for this process and how ZGA is terminated. Here, we reveal an essential negative feedback axis by which the Dux family member Duxbl terminates Dux-induced ZGA from the mid 2C stage onward by direct suppression of genomic Dux target loci. Consequently, Duxbl inactivation results in sustained expression of Dux-induced ZGA leading to 4C arrest. Our study reveals the Dux/Duxbl axis that determines the timing of totipotency exit enabling the very first divergence of cell fates.

The homeobox transcription factor DUXBL controls exit from totipotency

Project description:In mice, exit from the totipotent 2-cell (2C) embryo stage requires silencing of the 2C-associated transcriptional program. However, the molecular mechanisms involved in this process remain poorly understood. Here, we demonstrate that the 2C-specific transcription factor DUX mediates an essential negative feedback loop by inducing the expression of DUXBL to promote this silencing.We show that DUXBL gains accessibility to DUX-bound regions specifically upon DUX expression.Furthermore, we determine that DUXBL interacts with TRIM24 and TRIM33, members of the tripartite motif superfamily involved in gene silencing and co-localizes with them in nuclear foci upon DUX expression. Importantly, DUXBL overexpression impairs 2C-associated transcription, whereas Duxbl inactivation in ESC increases DUX-dependent induction of the 2C-transcriptional program. Consequently, DUXBL deficiency in embryos results in sustained expression of 2C-associated transcripts, leading to early developmental arrest.Our study identifies DUXBL as an essential regulator of totipotency exit enabling the first divergence of cell fates.

Transcriptome analysis in mouse ES cells deficient for Zfp352 or both Zfp352/Zfp353

Project description:Mouse ES cell population contains a minor sub-population expressing the genes that are specifically expressed in 2-cell stage embryos. This sub-population, consists of the 2-cell-gene labelled cells (2CLCs), is generated by the transient activation of the 2-cell specific genes initiated by the master regulator Dux. However, the mechanism regulating the transient expression remains largely unclear. Here we reported a novel function of Zfp352, one of the 2-cell specific genes, in the regulation of the 2CLC sub-population. Zfp352 encodes zinc-finger transcription factor belonging to the Klf family. Zfp352 is transiently activated by Dux after the activation of Zscan4c and expresses in a subset of 2CLC subpopulation. Interestingly, in the reporter assay, the transcriptional activation of Zscan4c by Dux is strongly repressed by the co-expression of Zfp352. However, knockout of Zfp352 resulted in the repression of a subset of the 2-cell specific genes. These data suggest the dual roles of Zfp352 in the regulation of the transient activation of the 2-cell specific genes.

The homeobox transcription factor DUXBL controls exit from the totipotent 2C state [RNA-seq]

Project description:Upon exit from the totipotent 2-cell (2C) embryo stage, the 2C-associated transcriptional program needs to be efficiently silenced. However, the molecular mechanisms involved in this process remain mostly unknown. Here, we determined that the 2C-specific transcription factor DUX directly induced the expression of DUXBL to promote this silencing. CUT&RUN analysis revealed that DUXBL gained accessibility to DUX-bound regions in DUX-induced ESC while it was unable to bind those regions in uninduced cells. Importantly, DUX expression in Duxbl-knockout ESC caused increased induction of the 2C-transcriptional program, whereas DUXBL overexpression impaired 2C-associated transcription. Mechanistically, we determined that DUXBL interacted with TRIM24 and TRIM33, two members of the tripartite motif superfamily involved in gene silencing, and co-localized with them in nuclear condensates upon DUX expression. Importantly, DUXBL downregulation in mouse zygotes led to a penetrant 2C-stage arrest. Our data revealed an unexpected role for DUXBL in controlling the exit from totipotency.
