Project description:Maternal RNAs are stored from minutes to decades in oocytes throughout meiotic arrest. The nature and dynamics of maternal RNAs during this arrest remain uncharted. We address this by performing single-oocyte RNA sequencing on arrested and maturing C. elegans oocytes. We discovered a population of transcripts that increases as the arrested meiosis I oocyte ages, but ruled out ERK signaling and nascent transcription as a mechanism for this increase. Instead, we report extracellular communication from neighboring somatic cells as a mechanism for the increase in transcripts during meiosis I arrest. These analyses provide a single-cell resolution of the RNA landscape during the developmental history of a meiosis I arrested oocyte and as it prepares for oocyte maturation and embryonic progression.

Project description:Maternal RNAs are stored from minutes to decades in oocytes throughout meiosis I arrest in a transcriptionally quiescent state. Recent reports, however, propose a role for nascent transcription in arrested oocytes. Whether arrested oocytes launch nascent transcription in response to environmental or hormonal signals while maintaining the meiosis I arrest remains undetermined. We test this by integrating single-cell RNA sequencing, RNA velocity, and RNA fluorescence in situ hybridization on C. elegans meiosis I arrested oocytes. We identify transcripts that increase as the arrested meiosis I oocyte ages, but rule out extracellular signaling through ERK MAPK and nascent transcription as a mechanism for this increase. We report transcript acquisition from neighboring somatic cells as a mechanism of transcript increase during meiosis I arrest. These analyses provide a deeper view at single-cell resolution of the RNA landscape of a meiosis I arrested oocyte and as it prepares for oocyte maturation and fertilization.

Project description:Microinjection of spermatozoa or spermatids into oocytes is a major choice for infertility treatment. However, the use of premeiotic spermatocytes has never been considered because of its technical problems. Here, we show that the efficiency of spermatocyte injection in mice can be improved greatly by reducing the size of the recipient oocytes. Live imaging showed that the underlying mechanism involves reduced premature separation of the spermatocyte's meiotic chromosomes, which produced much greater (19% vs. 1%) birth rates in smaller oocytes. Application of this technique to spermatocyte arrest caused by STX2 deficiency, an azoospermia factor also found in humans, resulted in the production of live offspring. Thus, the microinjection of primary spermatocytes into oocytes may be a potential treatment for overcoming a form of nonobstructive azoospermia caused by meiotic failure.

Project description:Oocytes develop the competence for meiosis and early embryogenesis during their growth. Setdb1 is a histone H3 lysine 9 (H3K9) methyltransferase required for post-implantation development and has been implicated in the transcriptional silencing of genes and endogenous retroviral elements (ERVs). To address its role in oogenesis and pre-implantation development, we conditionally deleted Setdb1 in growing oocytes. Loss of Setdb1 expression greatly impaired meiosis. It delayed meiotic resumption, altered the dynamics of chromatin condensation, and impaired kinetochore-spindle interactions, bipolar spindle organization, and chromosome segregation in more mature oocytes. The observed phenotypes related to changes in abundance of specific transcripts in mutant oocytes. Setdb1 maternally deficient embryos arrested during pre-implantation development and showed comparable defects during cell cycle progression and in chromosome segregation. Finally, transcriptional profiling data indicate that Setdb1 down-regulates rather than silences expression of ERVK and ERVL-MaLR retrotransposons and associated chimearic transcripts during oogenesis. Our results identify Setdb1 as a novel meiotic and embryonic competence factor in meiosis and mitosis, safeguarding genome integrity at the onset of life.

Project description:Meiosis is a specialized cell cycle that requires sequential changes to the cell division machinery to facilitate changing functions. To define the mechanisms that enable the oocyte-to-embryo transition, we performed time-course proteomics in sea star oocytes from prophase I through the first embryonic cleavage. Although protein levels are broadly stable, dynamic waves of phosphorylation underlie each meiotic stage. We find that the phosphatase PP2A-B55 is reactivated at the Meiosis I/II transition resulting in the preferential dephosphorylation of threonine residues. Selective dephosphorylation is critical for directing the MI / MII transition as altering PP2A-B55 substrate preferences disrupts key cell cycle events after meiosis I. In addition, threonine to serine substitution of a conserved phosphorylation site in the substrate INCENP prevents its relocalization at anaphase I. Thus, through its inherent phospho-threonine preference, PP2A-B55 imposes specific phosphoregulated behaviors that distinguish the two meiotic divisions.

We performed expression profiling on pools of 16 denuded GV-oocytes isolated per mouse. We used oocytes from 4 Setdb1 f/+; Zp3-cre mice and 2 Setdb1 f/- mice as controls and oocytes from 4 Setdb1 f/-; Zp3-cre mice as mutant.

Project description:The development of a haploid, fertilizable female gamete involves specialized meiotic divisions of the fully grown oocyte. An essential feature of oocyte meiosis is the reduction of genomic content to half, which is achieved by two successive divisions without an intervening S-phase. A known regulator of this event is a kinase called Mos that is exclusively expressed in oocytes during meiosis and activates the MEK/ERK/MAPK pathway. However, the downstream targets of the Mos-MAPK pathway and their significance in oocyte meiosis remains largely understudied. In this project, using phosphoproteomics on starfish (Patiria miniata) oocytes, we identify two predominant subsets of proteins that are targeted by Mos-MAPK at the critical time point - metaphase of meiosis I. These include proteins involved in CPE-mediated polyadenylation and cytoskeleton regulators. To complement this experiment, we performed DIA proteomics on Mos inhibited (20 micromolar U0126) and control oocytes at subsequent stages of meiosis (at 36 mins, 60 minutes and 90 minutes post hormone addition in U0126 inhibited oocytes and at metaphase I, meiosis I to meiosis II transition, metaphase II, 2 pronuclei and finally at the first mitotic division of the zygote for control oocytes). In this experiment, we identified 7,480 protein groups of which 5,103 protein groups could be quantified. We did not find significant changes in protein abundance across these time points and conditions, indicating that the proteome of starfish oocytes remains largely stable during meiosis.

Project description:Ray2013 - S.cerevisiae meiosis-specific metabolic network
Meiosis is a strongly concerved cell division program that generates haploid gametes from a diploid parental cell. Successful meiosis is the fundamental basis of sexual reproduction. Multiple lines of evidence suggest a tight link between meiosis and metabolism. Here, yeast meiosis is studied to elucidate the link between reproduction and metabolism. Network flux is obtained using GLPK (GNU Linear Programming Kit) supported by the COBRA Toolbox for Matlab.

Characterization of the metabolic requirements in yeast meiosis.

Abstract:
The diploid yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae undergoes mitosis in glucose-rich medium but enters meiosis in acetate sporulation medium. The transition from mitosis to meiosis involves a remarkable adaptation of the metabolic machinery to the changing environment to meet new energy and biosynthesis requirements. Biochemical studies indicate that five metabolic pathways are active at different stages of sporulation: glutamate formation, tricarboxylic acid cycle, glyoxylate cycle, gluconeogenesis, and glycogenolysis. A dynamic synthesis of macromolecules, including nucleotides, amino acids, and lipids, is also observed. However, the metabolic requirements of sporulating cells are poorly understood. In this study, we apply flux balance analyses to uncover optimal principles driving the operation of metabolic networks over the entire period of sporulation. A meiosis-specific metabolic network is constructed, and flux distribution is simulated using ten objective functions combined with time-course expression-based reaction constraints. By systematically evaluating the correlation between computational and experimental fluxes on pathways and macromolecule syntheses, the metabolic requirements of cells are determined: sporulation requires maximization of ATP production and macromolecule syntheses in the early phase followed by maximization of carbohydrate breakdown and minimization of ATP production in the middle and late stages. Our computational models are validated by in silico deletion of enzymes known to be essential for sporulation. Finally, the models are used to predict novel metabolic genes required for sporulation. This study indicates that yeast cells have distinct metabolic requirements at different phases of meiosis, which may reflect regulation that realizes the optimal outcome of sporulation. Our meiosis-specific network models provide a framework for an in-depth understanding of the roles of enzymes and reactions, and may open new avenues for engineering metabolic pathways to improve sporulation efficiency.

Project description:In vertebrates, sexual reproduction depends on the precisely temporally controlled translation of mRNAs stockpiled in the oocyte. The RNA-binding proteins Zar1 and Zar2 have been implicated in translational control in oocytes of several vertebrate species, but how they act mechanistically is still incompletely understood. Here, we investigate the function of Zar1l, a so far uncharacterized member of the Zar protein family, in Xenopus laevis oocytes. By combining biochemical assays and mass spectrometry, we reveal that Zar1l is a constituent of a known large ribonucleoparticle containing the translation repressor 4E-T and the central polyadenylation regulator CPEB1. Employing TRIM-Away, we show that depletion of Zar1l from prophase-I arrested oocytes results in premature meiotic maturation upon hormone treatment. We provide evidence that this is based on the precocious expression of the kinase cMos, a key promotor of meiotic resumption. Based on our data, we propose a model according to which degradation of Zar1l results in dissociation of 4E-T from CPEB1, thus weakening translation inhibition imposed by the mRNA 3’UTR of cMos and probably also other M-phase promoting regulators. Thus, our detailed characterization of the function of Zar1l reveals novel mechanistic insights into the regulation of maternal mRNA translation during vertebrate meiosis.
