Maternal Gene

The transition from maternal to zygotic gene control is a key process in embryogenesis. Although many maternal effect genes have been studied in the C. elegans embryo, how their activities lead to the positional expression of zygotic patterning genes has not yet been established. Evidence is presented showing that expression of the zygotic patterning gene vab-7 does not depend on cell position or cell contacts, but rather on the production of a C blastomere. Furthermore, pal-1, a caudal homologue with maternal product necessary for the proper development of the C blastomere, is both necessary and sufficient for vab-7 expression. This provides a link between maternal gene activity and zygotic patterning gene expression in C. elegans. The results suggest that zygotic patterning genes might be generally controlled at the level of blastomere fate and not by position.

Zygotic Gene Activation

In mice, transcription initiates at the mid-one-cell stage and transcriptional activity dramatically increases during the two-cell stage, a process called zygotic gene activation (ZGA). Associated with ZGA is a marked change in the pattern of gene expression that occurs after the second round of DNA replication. To distinguish ZGA before and after the second-round DNA replication, the former and latter are called minor and major ZGA, respectively. Although major ZGA are required for development beyond the two-cell stage, the function of minor ZGA is not well understood. Transiently inhibiting minor ZGA with 5, 6-dichloro-1-β-d-ribofuranosyl-benzimidazole (DRB) resulted in the majority of embryos arresting at the two-cell stage and retention of the H3K4me3 mark that normally decreases. After release from DRB, at which time major ZGA normally occurred, transcription initiated with characteristics of minor ZGA but not major ZGA, although degradation of maternal mRNA normally occurred. Thus, ZGA occurs sequentially starting with minor ZGA that is critical for the maternal-to-zygotic transition.
