DPPA2 and DPPA4 are necessary to establish a 2C‐like state in mouse embryonic stem cells

Didier Trono, Julien Léonard Duc, Alexandre Coudray, Alberto De Iaco

After fertilization of the transcriptionally silent oocyte, expression from both parental chromosomes is launched through zygotic genome activation (ZGA), occurring in the mouse at the 2-cell (2C) stage. Among the first elements to be transcribed are the D ...

KRAB-zinc finger protein gene expansion in response to active retrotransposons in the murine lineage

Didier Trono, Alberto De Iaco

The Krüppel-associated box zinc finger protein (KRAB-ZFP) family diversified in mammals. The majority of human KRAB-ZFPs bind transposable elements (TEs), however, since most TEs are inactive in humans it is unclear whether KRAB-ZFPs emerged to suppress TE ...

DUX-family transcription factors regulate zygotic genome activation in placental mammals

Didier Trono, Evaristo Jose Planet Letschert, Julien Léonard Duc, Sonia Verp, Andrea Coluccio, Alberto De Iaco

In animal embryos, transcription is mostly silent for several cell divisions, until the release of the first major wave of embryonic transcripts through so-called zygotic genome activation (ZGA). Maternally provided ZGA-triggering factors have been identif ...

DPPA2 and DPPA4 regulate expression of Dux in mouse embryonic stem cells

DUX is a non-essential synchronizer of zygotic genome activation

Didier Trono, Sandra Eloise Kjeldsen, Delphine Yvette L Grun, Sonia Verp, Alberto De Iaco

Some of the earliest transcripts produced in fertilized human and mouse oocytes code for DUX, a double homeodomain protein that promotes embryonic genome activation (EGA). Deleting Dux by genome editing at the 1- to 2-cell stage in the mouse impairs EGA an ...
