  • 摘要:Maternal-zygotic transition (MZT) is critical for the developmental control handed from maternal products to newly synthesized zygotic genome in the earliest stage of embryogenesis. However, the spatiotemporal dynamic regulation of MZT by maternal factors is largely unknown. Here, we reported a novel maternal factor, DCAF13, which was highly expressed in growing oocyte nucleolus and had key maternal effects on oocyte and zygotic chromatin tightness during maternal to zygotic transition. DCAF13 specifically deleted in oocytes resulted in loose chromatin structure in fully grown germinal vesicle oocytes. Despite normal nuclear maturation in maternal DCAF13-deleted oocytes, the chromosomes at MII stage were not properly condensed. Consequently, the nuclear and nucleolar structure reorganized abnormally, and transcription was inactive in zygotic embryos. RNA-seq analysis of MII oocytes and 2-cell embryos demonstrated that the transcriptomes between knockout and control oocyte were similar, but the maternal DCAF13 deleted two-cell embryos showed a significant decrease in transcription. In addition, the maternal DCAF13-deleted embryos displayed arrest at the two-cell stage, which could not be rescued by injecting flag-Dcaf13 mRNA in the zygote. This revealed that DCAF13 was a unique maternal effect factor regulating the nucleolus.
