PR/SET domain-containing (PRDM) proteins are metazoan-specific transcriptional regulators that play diverse roles in mammalian development and disease. Several members such as PRDM1, PRDM14 PRDM9, have been implicated germ cell specification homoeostasis essential to fertility-related processes. Others, PRDM14, PRDM15 PRDM10 a role early embryogenesis embryonic stem maintenance. Here, we describe the first PRDM family member with maternal effect. Absence of Prdm10 results catastrophic failure oocyte-to-embryo transition complete arrest at 2-cell stage. We multiple defects oocytes, zygotes stage embryos relating accumulate target gene transcripts egg. Transcriptomic analysis integration genome-wide chromatin-binding data reveals new targets, including cytoskeletal protein encoding Septin11. demonstrate express Septin11, absence PRDM10, disrupts Septin-complex assembly polar body extrusion site MII oocytes. Our study sheds light into essentiality requirement likely evolutionary conservation this regulatory axis human female cells. The marks beginning but mechanisms underlying process incompletely described. Here they show activates Septin11 is required for progression through transition.
