Mid-blastula transition

  • RESEARCH REPORT
    Histone concentration regulates the cell cycle and transcription in early development
    Sudarshan Chari, Henry Wilky, Jayalakshmi Govindan, Amanda A. Amodeo
    Development 2019 146: dev177402 doi: 10.1242/dev.177402 Published 4 October 2019

    Summary: Overexpression or knockdown of histones results in delayed or advanced cell cycle slowing and transcriptional activation at the mid-blastula transition, respectively, with differentially expressed genes associated with specific chromatin features.

  • RESEARCH ARTICLE
    Cohesin facilitates zygotic genome activation in zebrafish
    Michael Meier, Jenny Grant, Amy Dowdle, Amarni Thomas, Jennifer Gerton, Philippe Collas, Justin M. O'Sullivan, Julia A. Horsfield
    Development 2018 145: dev156521 doi: 10.1242/dev.156521 Published 3 January 2018

    Summary: Cohesin contributes to dynamic changes in chromosome architecture that occur upon zygotic genome activation, raising the possibility that germline cohesinopathy mutations could lead to global alteration of the zygotic transcription program early in development.

  • RESEARCH ARTICLE
    Modulation of temporal dynamics of gene transcription by activator potency in the Drosophila embryo
    Junbo Liu, Jun Ma
    Development 2015 142: 3781-3790; doi: 10.1242/dev.126946

    Summary: Two waves of zygotic transcription occur during the mid-blastula transition in Drosophila. Shutdown of the first wave involves post-translational modulation of the maternal factor Bicoid.
