While non-mammalian embryos often rely on spatial pre-patterning, mammalian development has long been thought to begin with equivalent blastomeres. However, emerging evidence challenges this. Here, using multiplexed and label-free single-cell proteomics, we identify over 300 asymmetrically abundant proteins-many involved in protein degradation and transport-dividing mouse 2-cell-stage blastomeres into two distinct clusters, which we term alpha and beta. These proteomic asymmetries are detectable ...[more]
