| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
There are the maternal mRNA species which are not translated in immature oocytes but become being translated by elongation of their poly-A tails after the resumption of meiosis and fertilization. I hypothesized that the protein(s) regulating the reprogramming of gene expression is (are) translated from this type of maternal mRNAs. In this project, I planned to identify them and clarify their involvement in the reprogramming of gene expression.
First, we developed the system by which the maternal mRNAs elongating their poly-A tails were efficiently sorted. The selected mRNAs by using this system were subjected to RNA sequencing to determine the candidates for the factors involved in the reprogramming. The involvement of those candidates in the reprogramming has been examined by CRISPER/Cas9 system.
