In the widely studied model organisms, Drosophila and Xenopus, early embryogenesis involves an extended series of nuclear divisions prior to activation of the zygotic genome. The mammalian embryo differs in that the early cleavage phase is already characterized by regulated cell cycles with specific zygotic gene expression. In the mouse, where major activation of the zygotic genome occurs at the 2-cell stage, the HSP70.1 gene is among the earliest genes to be expressed. We investigated the developmentally regulated expression of this gene during the preimplantation period, using a luciferase transgene, with or without flanking scaffold attachment regions (SARs). Cleavage stage-specific modifications in expression profiles were examined in terms of histone H4 acetylation status, topoisomerase II activity, and the localisation of HMG-I/Y, a nuclear protein with known affinity for the AT-tracts of SARs. We demonstrate that HSP70.1-associated transcription factors are not limiting, and that instead, there is a progressive maturation of chromatin structure that is directly involved in HSP70.1 regulation during early mouse development.
