| abstractText | Poly(ADP-ribosyl)ation (PARylation) is an important post-translational modification of proteins that involves the transfer of ADP-ribose moieties, and plays important roles in many biological processes including DNA repair, gene expression, RNA processing, ribosome biogenesis, and protein translation. Though it is accepted that PARylation is crucial for oocyte maturation, little is known about how Mono(ADP-ribosyl)ation (MARylation) regulates this process. Here, we report that Parp12, a mon(ADP-ribosyl) transferase of poly(ADP-ribosyl) polymerase (PARP) family, was highly expressed at all stages of oocytes during meiotic maturation. At germinal vesicle (GV) stage, PARP12 was mainly distributed in cytoplasm. Interestingly, PARP12 formed granular aggregation near to spindle poles during metaphase I (MI) and metaphase II (MII). PARP12 depletion results in abnormal spindle organization and chromosome misalignment in mouse oocytes. Chromosome aneuploidy frequency in PARP12 knockdown oocytes was significantly increased. Importantly, PARP12 knockdown triggers activation of spindle assembly checkpoint as shown by active BUBR1 in PARP12-KD MI oocytes. Besides, F actin was significantly attenuated in PARP12-KD MI oocytes which may affect the asymmetric division process. Transcriptomic analysis demonstrated that PARP12 depletion disrupts transcriptome homeostasis. Collectively, our results showed that the maternally expressed mono(ADPribosyl) transferases PARP12 was essential for oocyte meiotic maturation in mouse. |
