摘要

•Whole-embryo and regional EU-RNA-seq determines timing and spatial patterns of ZGA •Maternal-zygotic genes dominate transcriptional output during ZGA •Manipulation of translation and cell division reconciles regulatory mechanisms of ZGA •Timing of germ-layer-specific expression appears sequential in the blastula Early embryo development requires maternal-to-zygotic transition, during which transcriptionally silent nuclei begin widespread gene expression during zygotic genome activation (ZGA). 1 Vastenhouw N.L.

A major challenge in addressing these questions is to accurately measure the timing of each gene activation. Here, we metabolically label and identify the nascent transcriptome using 5-ethynyl uridine (5-EU) in Xenopus blastula embryos. We find that EU-RNA-seq outperforms total RNA-seq in detecting the ZGA transcriptome, which is dominated by transcription from maternal-zygotic genes, enabling improved ZGA timing determination. We uncover discrete spatiotemporal patterns for individual gene activation, a majority following a spatial pattern of ZGA that is correlated with a cell size gradient. 14 Chen H. Einstein L.C.

Finally, most ectodermal genes are activated earlier than endodermal genes, suggesting a temporal orchestration of germ-layer-specific genes, potentially linked to the spatially graded pattern of ZGA. Together, our study provides fundamental new insights into the composition and dynamics of the ZGA transcriptome, mechanisms regulating ZGA timing, and its role in the onset of early cell fating.
