The aim of this study is to examine the involvement of poly(A) tail elongation of maternal mRNA in the regulation of zygotic gene activation after fertilization. The experiments were conducted that the effect of 3'-deoxiadenosine (3'-dA) on gene activation in mouse 1-cell embryos. After incorporated into the embryos, 3'-dA is expected to be metabolized into 3'-dATP, which inhibits the addition of adenosine to poly(A) tail, working as a chain terminator.The inhibitory effect of 3'-dA on poly(A) tail elongation was confirmed by examining the cyclin A mRNA ; the poly(A) tail of cyclin A mRNA is elongated and its translation starts after fertilization, The results showed that 3'-dA inhibited the elongation of poly(A) tail and translation of cyclin A mRNA. Such an inhibition of translation was specific for cyclin A, since total protein synthesis estimated by [ィイD135ィエD1S] methionine incorporation into macro molecule was not changed by 3'-dA.Embryos were incubated with 3'-dA and the transcriptional activity was measured by in vitro transcription assay 14 h after fertilization. Two mM 3'-dA almost completely inhibited the transcriptional activity. 3'-dG examined as a control did not show any effect.These results suggest that poly(A) tail elongation of maternal mRNA triggers the zygotic gene activation after fertilization.

本研究的目的是检查参与的多聚（A）尾延伸的母体mRNA在受精后合子基因激活的调节。本文研究了3 '-脱氧腺苷（3'-dA）对小鼠1-细胞胚胎基因激活的影响。3 '-dA进入胚胎后被代谢为3'-dATP，3 '-dATP可抑制腺苷加到poly（A）尾上，起到链终止剂的作用。细胞周期蛋白A mRNA的poly（A）尾被拉长并且其翻译在受精后开始，结果表明，3 '-dA抑制poly（A）尾的延伸和cyclinAmRNA的翻译。这种翻译抑制是特异性的细胞周期蛋白A，因为总蛋白质合成估计[蛋氨酸D135蛋氨酸D1 S]纳入大分子不改变3 '-dA。胚胎孵育与3'-dA和体外转录活性测定受精后14小时。2 mM的3 '-dA几乎完全抑制转录活性。这些结果表明，受精后母体mRNA的poly（A）尾延长触发了合子基因的激活。
