Developmental changes in RNA polymerase I and TATA box-binding protein during early Xenopus embryogenesis.

Abstract:

:Xenopus early embryos are transcriptionally quiescent until the midblastula transition (MBT). We have examined the question of whether the absence of rRNA synthesis is related to a deficiency in the RNA polymerase I (pol I) transcription machinery. Previously we have demonstrated that the maternally provided pol I transcription factor UBF already binds to the inactive rRNA genes of pre-MBT embryos (P. Bell et al., 1997, J. Cell Sci. 110, 2053-2063). Here we have analyzed the fate of pol I and the TATA box-binding protein (TBP) through immunofluorescence and immunoblotting experiments. Pol I stockpiled in the egg is taken up by in vitro assembled pronuclei and concentrated into numerous distinct nuclear domains. Comparable storage sites of template-free pol I are also seen in nuclei of blastula to neurula stage embryos. In contrast, the amount of TBP is relatively low in oocytes and eggs but increases dramatically during the cleavage stages. Most of the newly synthesized TBP colocalizes with the stored form of pol I in the extranucleolar domains of blastula/gastrula embryos. The amount of TBP per embryo reaches peak values at the blastula/gastrula stage and then rapidly declines to normal somatic levels. The positive correlation of maximal TBP levels with the timing of the MBT suggests that overproduction of TBP is required for the formation of productive transcription complexes.
