          Abstract

          During oocyte maturation, changes in gene expression depend exclusively on translation and degradation of maternal mRNAs rather than transcription. Execution of this translation program is essential for assembling the molecular machinery required for meiotic progression, fertilization, and embryo development. With the present study, we used a RiboTag/RNA-Seq approach to explore the timing of maternal mRNA translation in quiescent oocytes as well as in oocytes progressing through the first meiotic division. This genome-wide analysis reveals a global switch in maternal mRNA translation coinciding with oocyte re-entry into the meiotic cell cycle. Messenger RNAs whose translation is highly active in quiescent oocytes invariably become repressed during meiotic re-entry, whereas transcripts repressed in quiescent oocytes become activated. Experimentally, we have defined the exact timing of the switch and the repressive function of CPE elements, and identified a novel role for CPEB1 in maintaining constitutive translation of a large group of maternal mRNAs during maturation.

          Identification of methylated nucleosides in messenger RNA from Novikoff hepatoma cells.

          The poly(A) tract found in eukaryotic mRNA was used to study methylation in mRNA obtained from Novikoff hepatoma cells. Methyl labeling of RNA was achieved with L-[methyl-(3)H]methionine under conditions that suppress radioactive incorporation into the purine ring. RNA that contains a poly(A) segment was obtained from polysomal RNA by chromatography on oligo(dT)-cellulose. Sucrose density gradient centrifugation of this RNA revealed a pattern expected for mRNA. The composition of the methyl-labeled nucleosides in the RNA was analyzed after complete enzymatic degradation to nucleosides. By use of DEAE-cellulose (borate) chromatography, which separates 2'-O-methylnucleosides from normal and base-methylated nucleosides, about 50% of the radioactivity was recovered in the 2'-O-methylnucleoside fraction and 50% in the base-methylnucleoside fraction. High-speed liquid chromatography (Aminex A-5) of the 2'-O-methylnucleoside fraction produced four peaks coincident with the four 2'-O-methylnucleoside standards. Analysis of the base-methylnucleoside fraction revealed a unique pattern. While ribosomal RNA and tRNA possessed complex base-methylnucleoside patterns, the distribution in mRNA was quite simple, consisting predominantly of N(6)-methyladenosine. These results demonstrate a unique distribution of methylated nucleosides in mRNA. By analogy to ribosomal RNA synthesis, the presence of methylnucleosides in mRNA may reflect a cellular mechanism for the selective processing of certain mRNA sequences.

            Poly(A)-tail profiling reveals an embryonic switch in translational control

            Poly(A) tails enhance the stability and translation of most eukaryotic mRNAs, but difficulties in globally measuring poly(A)-tail lengths have impeded greater understanding of poly(A)-tail function. Here, we describe poly(A)-tail length profiling by sequencing (PAL-seq) and apply it to measure tail lengths of millions of individual RNAs isolated from yeasts, cell lines, Arabidopsis leaves, mouse liver, and zebrafish and frog embryos. Poly(A)-tail lengths were conserved between orthologous mRNAs, with mRNAs encoding ribosomal proteins and other “housekeeping” proteins tending to have shorter tails. As expected, tail lengths were coupled to translational efficiency in early zebrafish and frog embryos. However, this strong coupling diminished at gastrulation and was absent in non-embryonic samples, indicating a rapid developmental switch in the nature of translational control. This switch complements an earlier switch to zygotic transcriptional control and explains why the predominant effect of microRNA-mediated deadenylation concurrently shifts from translational repression to mRNA destabilization.

              Modified nucleosides and bizarre 5'-termini in mouse myeloma mRNA.

              Messenger RNAs from mouse myeloma cells contain N-6-methyl adenosine and novel 5' termini having 7-methy-guanosine in a 5', 5' triphosphate linkage with ribose-methylated nucleosides. Ten common 5'-terminal sequences of the forms m-7-G-5'-PPP-5'-NmpNp and m-7-G-5'-ppp-5'-NmpNmpNp are reported. Structures like this may be a general feature of mRNA in eukaryotes.
