DCAF1 Ubiquitin E3 Ligase Directs Protein Phosphatase 2A Degradation to Control Oocyte Meiotic Maturation ARTICLE Received 28 Jan 2015 | Accepted 7 Jul 2015 | Published 18 Aug 2015 DOI: 10.1038/ncomms9017 OPEN CRL4–DCAF1 ubiquitin E3 ligase directs protein phosphatase 2A degradation to control oocyte meiotic maturation Chao Yu1, Shu-Yan Ji1,*, Qian-Qian Sha1,*, Qing-Yuan Sun2 & Heng-Yu Fan1 Oocyte meiosis is a specialized cell cycle that gives rise to fertilizable haploid gametes and is precisely controlled in various dimensions. We recently found that E3 ubiquitin ligase CRL4 is required for female fertility by regulating DNA hydroxymethylation to maintain oocyte survival and to promote zygotic genome reprogramming. However, not all phenotypes of CRL4-deleted oocytes could be explained by this mechanism. Here we show that CRL4 controls oocyte meiotic maturation by proteasomal degradation of protein phosphatase 2A scaffold subunit, PP2A-A. Oocyte-specific deletion of DDB1 or DCAF1 (also called VPRBP) results in delayed meiotic resumption and failure to complete meiosis I along with PP2A-A accumulation. DCAF1 directly binds to and results in the poly-ubiquitination of PP2A-A. Moreover, combined deletion of Ppp2r1a rescues the meiotic defects caused by DDB1/DCAF1 deficiency. These results provide in vivo evidence that CRL4-directed PP2A-A degradation is physiologically essential for regulating oocyte meiosis and female fertility. 1 Life Sciences Institute and Innovation Center for Cell Signaling Network, Zhejiang University, Hangzhou 310058, China. 2 State Key Laboratory of Reproductive Biology, Institute of Zoology, Chinese Academy of Sciences, Beijing 100101, China. * These authors contributed equally to this work.

Using transgenic mice expressing GFP in cycling cells we sorted live, replicating beta-cells and determined their transcriptome. Replicating beta-cells upregulate hundreds of proliferation- related genes, along with many novel putative cell cycle components. Strikingly, genes involved in beta-cell functions, namely glucose sensing and insulin secretion were repressed. Further studies using single molecule RNA in situ hybridization revealed that in fact, replicating beta-cells double the amount of RNA for most genes, but this upregulation excludes genes involved in beta-cell function.

The identification of genes that 13 influence fur development and knowledge regarding the actions of these genes 14 provides useful tools for improving fur quality. However, the mechanism of fur 15 development is unclear. To obtain candidate genes related to fur development, the 16 transcriptomes of tissues from backs and bellies of Chinchilla rex rabbits were 17 compared.
