Perturbation of maternal PIASy abundance disrupts zygotic genome activation and embryonic development via SUMOylation pathway

During the maternal-to-zygotic transition (MZT), mRNAs and proteins stored in oocytes are degraded and zygotic genes are activated. We have previously shown that the ubiquitin-proteasome system (UPS)-mediated degradation of maternal proteins plays a role in the onset of zygotic transcription. Howeve...
