(Submitter supplied) During the first stages of development, the fertilized germ cells rapidly transition to totipotency. Maternally deposited mRNAs encode the proteins necessary for reprogramming the transcriptionally quiescent zygotic genome during this maternal-to-zygotic transition (MZT). The transcription factor Zelda is essential for this reprogramming in the Drosophila embryo. Zelda is necessary for transcriptional activation of the zygotic genome, and the absence of Zelda leads to embryonic lethality during the MZT. more...

(Submitter supplied) In nearly all metazoans, the earliest stages of development are controlled by maternally deposited mRNAs and proteins. The zygotic genome only becomes transcriptionally active hours later. Transcriptional activation is tightly coordinated with the degradation of maternally provided mRNAs during this maternal-to-zygotic transition (MZT). In Drosophila melanogaster, the transcription factor Zelda plays an essential role in widespread activation of the zygotic genome. more...

(Submitter supplied) Reprogramming cell fate during the first stages of embryogenesis requires that transcriptional activators gain access to the genome and remodel the zygotic transcriptome. Nonetheless, it is not clear if the continued activity of these pioneering factors is required throughout zygotic genome activation or if they are only required early to establish cis-regulatory regions. To address this question, we developed an optogenetic strategy to rapidly and reversibly inactivate the master regulator of genome activation in Drosophila, Zelda. more...

(Submitter supplied) The earliest stages of development in most metazoans are driven by maternally deposited proteins and mRNAs, with widespread transcriptional activation of the zygotic genome occurring hours after fertilization, at a period known as the maternal-to-zygotic transition (MZT). In Drosophila, the MZT is preceded by the transcription of a small number of genes that initiate sex determination, patterning and other essential developmental processes. more...

(Submitter supplied) We used FAIRE-seq to perform genome-wide profiling of open chromatin in 2-3 hour Drosophila embryos lacking maternal ZLD (zldM-) and in paired control embryos (yw). We demonstrate that ZLD is required to establish or maintain specific regions of open chromatin. Using single embryo RNA-seq data (from stage 5 yw and zldM- embryos) we show that loci that lose accessibility in zldM- embryos require ZLD for robust expression of associated genes. more...

(Submitter supplied) The pioneer transcription factor Zelda (ZLD) increases the accessibility of chromatin to promote the essential process of zygotic genome activation (ZGA) in the Drosophila early embryo. However, many genomic loci remain accessible in the absence of ZLD and are enriched for GA-rich DNA binding motifs. Therefore, we hypothesized that other pioneer TFs that function with ZLD have not yet been identified, especially those that bind to GA-rich motifs. more...

(Submitter supplied) mRNA expression was assessed genome-wide in brat mutant and w1118 early Drosophila embryos, to elucidate the role of BRAT in regulating mRNA stability. Four different time-points were analyzed for each genotype: 0-to-1.5 hours post-egglaying, 1.5-to-3.0 hours post-egglaying, 3.0-to-4.5 hours post-egglaying, and 4.5-to-6.0 hours post-egglaying.

(Submitter supplied) The earliest stage of animal development is controlled by maternally deposited mRNA transcripts and proteins. Once the zygote is able to transcribe its own genome, maternal transcripts are degraded, in a tightly regulated process known as the maternal to zygotic transition (MZT). While this process has been well-studied within model species, we have little knowledge of how the pools of maternal and zygotic transcripts evolve. more...

(Submitter supplied) In all animals, the initial events of embryogenesis are controlled by maternal gene products that are deposited into the developing oocyte. At some point after fertilization, control of embryogenesis is transferred to the zygotic genome in a process called the maternal to zygotic transition (MZT). During this time maternal RNAs are degraded and zygotic RNAs are transcribed1. A long standing question has been, what factors regulate these events? The recent findings that microRNAs and Smaugs mediate maternal transcript degradation brought new life to this old problem2,3, however, the transcription factors that activate zygotic gene expression remained elusive. more...

(Submitter supplied) A long-standing question in the field of embryogenesis is how the zygotic genome is precisely activated by maternal factors, allowing normal early embryonic development. We have previously shown that N6-methyladenine (6mA) DNA modification is highly dynamic in early Drosophila embryos and forms an epigenetic mark. However, little is known about how 6mA-formed epigenetic information is decoded. Here we report that the Fox-family protein Jumu binds 6mA-marked DNA and acts as a maternal factor to regulate the maternal-to-zygotic transition. more...
