(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) Maternal gene products supplied to the egg during oogenesis drive the earliest events of development in all metazoans. After the initial stages of embryogenesis, maternal transcripts are degraded as zygotic transcription is activated; this is known as the maternal to zygotic transition (MZT). Altering the abundances of maternally deposited factors in the laboratory can have a dramatic effect on development, adult phenotypes and ultimately fitness. 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) 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) 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) During embryogenesis in animals, initial developmental processes are driven entirely by maternally provided gene products that are deposited into the oocyte. The zygotic genome is transcriptionally activated later, when developmental control is handed off from maternal gene products to the zygote during the maternal to zygotic transition (MZT). The MZT is highly regulated and conserved across all animals, and while some details change across model systems where it has been studied, most are too evolutionarily diverged to make comparisons as to how this process evolves. more...

(Submitter supplied) A conserved event of the maternal-to-zygotic transition (MZT) in animal embryos is the elimination of a subset of the maternal transcripts that accumulated during oogenesis. In invertebrates and lower vertebrates, a maternally encoded mRNA decay pathway (M-decay) acts before zygotic genome activation (ZGA) while a second pathway, which requires zygotic transcription, subsequently clears additional mRNAs (Z-decay). more...

(Submitter supplied) Background: During the maternal-to-zygotic transition (MZT) vast changes in the embryonic transcriptome are produced by a combination of two processes: elimination of maternally provided mRNAs and synthesis of new transcripts from the zygotic genome. Previous genome-wide analyses of the MZT have been restricted to whole embryos. Here we report the first such analysis for primordial germ cells (PGCs), the progenitors of the germ-line stem cells. more...

(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...
