Interaction network of human early embryonic transcription factors

© 2024. The Author(s)..

Embryonic genome activation (EGA) occurs during preimplantation development and is characterized by the initiation of de novo transcription from the embryonic genome. Despite its importance, the regulation of EGA and the transcription factors involved in this process are poorly understood. Paired-like homeobox (PRDL) family proteins are implicated as potential transcriptional regulators of EGA, yet the PRDL-mediated gene regulatory networks remain uncharacterized. To investigate the function of PRDL proteins, we are identifying the molecular interactions and the functions of a subset family of the Eutherian Totipotent Cell Homeobox (ETCHbox) proteins, seven PRDL family proteins and six other transcription factors (TFs), all suggested to participate in transcriptional regulation during preimplantation. Using mass spectrometry-based interactomics methods, AP-MS and proximity-dependent biotin labeling, and chromatin immunoprecipitation sequencing we derive the comprehensive regulatory networks of these preimplantation TFs. By these interactomics tools we identify more than a thousand high-confidence interactions for the 21 studied bait proteins with more than 300 interacting proteins. We also establish that TPRX2, currently assigned as pseudogene, is a transcriptional activator.
