Abstract
LINE-1 is an autonomous non-LTR retrotransposon in mammalian genomes and encodes ORF1P and ORF2P. ORF2P has been clearly identified as the enzyme supplier needed in LINE-1 retrotransposition. However, the role of ORF1P is not well explored. In this study, we employed loss/gain-of-function approach to investigate the role of LINE1-ORF1P in mouse oocyte meiotic maturation. During mouse oocyte development, ORF1P was observed in cytoplasm as well as in nucleus at germinal vesicle (GV) stage while was localized on the spindle after germinal vesicle breakdown (GVBD). Depletion of ORF1P caused oocyte arrest at the GV stage as well as down-regulation of CDC2 and CYCLIN B1, components of the maturation-promoting factor (MPF). Further analysis demonstrated ORF1P depletion triggered DNA damage response and most of the oocytes presented altered chromatin configuration. In addition, SMAD4 showed nuclear foci signal after Orf1p dsRNA injection. ORF1P overexpression held the oocyte development at MI stage and the chromosome alignment and spindle organization were severely affected. We also found that ORF1P could form DCP1A body-like foci structure in both cytoplasm and nucleus after heat shock. Taken together, accurate regulation of ORF1P plays an essential role in mouse oocyte meiotic maturation.
