CANTAC-seq analysis reveals the maternal factors E2f1 and Otx1 co-modulate minor zygotic gene transcription by a seesaw model (ChIP-Seq)

ABSTRACT: The transition from maternal to zygotic gene expression during zygotic genome activation (ZGA) is tightly associated with chromatin accessibility modulated by maternal transcription factors. However, due to technical limitations, it remains elusive how the chromatin regulatory landscape is established in Xenopus tropicalis ZGA, and let alone DNA binding transcription regulators involved in this process. Here, by developing concanavalin A beads-based nucleus capture followed by Tn5-mediated accessible chromatin assay with sequencing (CANTAC-seq), we generated a first genome-wide map of accessible chromatin in X. tropicalis embryos from early blastula to neurula stage. We found that open chromatin landscape is progressively established at cis-regulatory elements during ZGA. Based on the motif analysis and perturbation experiments, we demostrated E2f1, a well-known transcriptional activator, maintains a repressive chromatin environment preceding minor ZGA. Moreover, we identified another maternal factor Otx1 counteracts the inhibitory function of E2f1. Mechanistically, E2f1 and Otx1 co-regulate a set of genes required for zygotic gene transcription and germ layer differentiation before the midblastula transition (MBT) through a seesaw model. Taken together, our data reveals the dynamic chromatin regulatory landscape that accompanies early development and elaborates on the function of a coupled transcriptional repressor-activator regulating zygotic gene transcription in a classical model organism.

Endodermal maternal transcription factors establish super enhancers during zygotic genome activation

Project description:We examined the combinatorial function of the Xenopus tropicalis maternal transcription factors Foxh1, Vegt and Otx1. The study involved combinatorial ectopic expression of vegt and otx1 RNA in the putative ectoderm; and combinatorial knock-down of vegt and otx1 in the putative endoderm both followed by transcriptomic analysis (RNA-seq). We performed chromatin immunoprecipitation combined with high throughput sequencing (ChIP-seq) to assess the chromatin association of Vegt and Otx1 prior to zygotic gene activation. In addition, we performed ChIP-seq on H3K4me1 on endoderm tissue to identify active regulatory regions in an unbiased manner.

The landscape of accessible chromatin in mammalian pre-implantation embryos

Project description:In mammals, extensive chromatin reorganization is essential for reprogramming terminally committed gametes to a totipotent state during preimplantation development. However, the global chromatin landscape and its dynamics in this period remain unexplored. Here we report a genome-wide map of accessible chromatin in mouse preimplantation embryos using an improved assay for transposase-accessible chromatin with high throughput sequencing (ATAC-seq) approach with CRISPR/Cas9-assisted mitochondrial DNA depletion. We show that despite extensive parental asymmetry in DNA methylomes, the chromatin accessibility between the parental genomes is globally comparable after major zygotic genome activation (ZGA). Accessible chromatin in early embryos is widely shaped by transposable elements and overlaps extensively with putative cis-regulatory sequences. Unexpectedly, accessible chromatin is also found near the transcription end sites of active genes. By integrating the maps of cis-regulatory elements and single-cell transcriptomes, we construct the regulatory network of early development, which helps to identify the key modulators for lineage specification. Finally, we find that the activities of cis-regulatory elements and their associated open chromatin diminished before major ZGA. Surprisingly, we observed many loci showing non-canonical, large open chromatin domains over the entire transcribed units in minor ZGA, supporting the presence of an unusually permissive chromatin state. Together, these data reveal a unique spatiotemporal chromatin configuration that accompanies early mammalian development. Refer to individual Series

Quantitative proteomics reveals the dynamic proteome landscape of zebrafish embryos during maternal-to-zygotic transition and its relationship to zygotic genome activation

Project description:Upon fertilization, the embryonic genome remains transcriptionally inactive until the mid-blastula transition. Zygotic genome activation (ZGA) of vertebrate embryos has been extensively studied using nucleic acid-based strategies, but proteomics data are still scarce, impeding the full mechanistic understanding of how ZGA is executed during the maternal-to-zygotic transition (MZT). Here, we performed quantitative proteomics to decipher the proteome landscape of zebrafish embryos during the MZT, quantifying nearly 5,000 proteins across four embryonic stages. The stage-specific clustering based on protein expression pattern revealed that helicases (i.e., eif4a2 and ruvbl1) facilitate pluripotency factors (i.e., nanog, pou5f3, ctcf, and hmga1) triggering ZGA in zebrafish, accompanied by the maternal product decay with P-bodies and ubiquitin dependent proteolytic pathway. Dozens of transcription factors show wave-like expression patterns during MZT, implying their diverse functions in triggering the ZGA and modulating differentiation for organ development. The combination of morpholino knockdown and quantitative proteomics demonstrated that maternal Nanog is required for proper embryogenesis by regulating 1) interactions with other pluripotency factors, 2) F-actin band formation, 3) cell cycle checkpoints and 4) maternal product degradation. This study represents the most systematic proteomics survey of developmentally regulated proteins and their expression profiles accompanying MZT in zebrafish, which is a valuable proteome resource for understanding ZGA.
