Quantitative and qualitative changes in histone gene expression during early mouse embryo development.

R A Graves, W F Marzluff, D H Giebelhaus

    Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America
    |September 1, 1985

    Summary

    Mouse eggs contain abundant histone mRNA, which is degraded post-fertilization but accumulates during embryonic development. Gene expression patterns remain similar, though specific histone mRNA levels vary, suggesting a role in early embryonic stages.

    Area of Science:

    • Developmental Biology
    • Molecular Biology
    • Genetics

    Background:

    • Maternal mRNA, including histone mRNA, plays a critical role in early embryonic development in many species.
    • The precise regulation and function of histone mRNA during mouse oogenesis and early embryogenesis remain incompletely understood.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To investigate the dynamics and expression patterns of histone mRNA during mouse egg development and early embryogenesis.
    • To assess the potential contribution of maternal histone mRNA to protein synthesis in the early embryo.

    Main Methods:

    • Quantitative analysis of histone mRNA levels in mouse eggs and embryos at various developmental stages.
    • Examination of histone gene expression profiles in eggs and early embryos.

    Main Results:

    • Mouse eggs contain substantial amounts of histone mRNA.
    • Histone mRNA undergoes rapid degradation after fertilization and before the second cleavage.
    • Histone mRNA levels increase during embryonic cleavage stages.
    • The same histone gene sets are expressed in eggs and embryos, but with significant quantitative differences in specific histone mRNAs.
    • The quantity of histone mRNA in cleaving and blastocyst stage embryos appears sufficient for coding blastocyst histone proteins.

    Conclusions:

    • Histone mRNA is dynamically regulated during mouse oogenesis and early embryogenesis.
    • Maternal histone mRNA stores are likely utilized during early development, with synthesis resuming later.
    • The observed quantitative differences in histone mRNA suggest stage-specific regulatory mechanisms governing their accumulation and utilization.
