ABSTRACT
In mammals, the early embryo travels down the oviduct to the uterus and prepares for implantation. The unique features of preimplantation development include compaction followed by blastocyst formation. This first cell lineage specification involves various proteins including cell polarity regulators, kinases, and transcription factors. In this study, a novel gene named predicted gene 11545 (Gm11545) expressed predominantly in mouse early embryos was identified and characterized at the transcript, protein, cellular, and functional levels. The Gm11545 protein localized to both cytoplasmic and membrane regions of preimplantation embryos. Remarkably, knockdown of Gm11545 led to arrest of mouse embryos at the morula stage and consequent impairment of blastocyst formation. Expression patterns of the key transcription factors critical for early lineage specification, octamer-binding transcription factor 4 and caudal type homeobox 2, were affected by Gm11545 depletion. Based on the collective findings, we propose that the novel protein identified in this study, Gm11545, is implicated in cell proliferation and cell lineage specification critical for blastocyst formation.-Kim, J., Kim, J., Jeong, J., Hong, S.
