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

ABSTRACT: 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.

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.

Chromatin accessibility established by Pou5f3, Sox19b and Nanog primes genes for activity during zebrafish genome activation.

Project description:In many organisms, early embryonic development is driven by maternally provided transcription factors until the controlled onset of transcription during zygotic genome activation (ZGA). The regulation of chromatin accessibility and its relationship to gene activity during this transition remains poorly understood. Here, we generated chromatin accessibility maps for the early stages of zebrafish development spanning genome activation and the onset of lineage specification. We find that during this period, chromatin accessibility increases at regulatory elements. This is independent of RNA pol II-mediated transcription, with the exception of the miR-430 locus. Instead, accessibility often precedes the transcription of associated genes. Loss of the maternal transcription factors pou5f3, sox19b, and nanog, which are known to be required for zebrafish ZGA, results in decreased accessibility at regulatory elements. Finally, we show that accessibility of regulatory regions, especially when established by Pou5f3, Sox19b and Nanog, is predictive for future transcription. Together, our results suggest that maternally provided transcription factors prime genes for activity during zygotic genome activation.

Zebrafish microRNA miR-430 promotes 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. Keywords: Dicer, MZdicer, miR-430, miRNA target, maternal, zygotic

Zygotic gene activatory network in zebrafish is globally controlled by Pou5f1 SoxB1 enhancers

Project description:Genetic control of pluripotent mammalian ES cells is determined by a transcriptional network, with a "central core" of transcription factors, Pou5f1, Sox2 and Nanog. Zebrafish homologues of the "core pluripotency factors" Pou5f1, SoxB1 and Nanog-like are also crucially involved in early development. However, the degree of functional similarity of the network between mammals and non-mammals is a matter of debate. To identify the components of Pou5f1-dependent transcriptional networks, we determined the genomic binding sites for Pou5f1 and Sox2 in late blastula stage zebrafish embryos using ChIP-seq. We found that Sox2 and Pou5f1 are co-binding to the regulatory regions of Sox2, Pou5f1, and Nanog-like, as well as to multiple orthologues of mammalian plutipotency network components.

Pou5f3, SoxB1 and Nanog remodel chromatin on High Nucleosome Affinity Regions at Zygotic Genome Activation.

Project description:Purpose: Find out the consequences of Pou5f3/Oct4 and Nanog binding to the nucleosome distribution before and after Zygotic Genome Activation Methods: MNase-seq of the wild-type(WT), Pou5f3 (MZspg) and Nanog (MZnanog) mutant zebrafish embryos at 512-cell stage and dome stage. Results: Nanog, Sox19b and Pou5f3 bind to the High Nucleosome Affinity Regions (HNARs). HNARs are spanning over 600 bp, featuring high in vivo and predicted in vitro nucleosome occupancy and high predicted propeller twist DNA shape value. We suggest a two-step model, where the same intrinsic DNA properties of HNAR promote both high nucleosome occupancy and differential binding of TFs. In the first step, already prior to ZGA, Pou5f3 and Nanog reduce nucleosome occupancy on HNARs genome-wide. In the second step, Nanog and Pou5f3/SoxB1 complex maintain open chromatin state on the subset of HNARs, acting synergistically. Nanog binds to the HNAR center, while the Pou5f3/SoxB1 complex stabilizes the flanks.

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.
