  合子基因组激活之前,动物早期胚胎的RNA转录活性很低,RNA的代谢主要表现为母源RNA的降解,功能RNA的剪切活性很低,随合子基因组激活,RNA的剪切活性明显增强.通过RNA剪切体加工前体RNA是所有真核生物的重要基因表达调控方式之一,前体RNA在哺乳动物早期胚胎细胞中加工的分子机制目前仍然不清楚.BCAS2 (Breast cancer amplified sequence 2)最初在研究RNA剪切体组分时被发现,此后在人类乳腺癌细胞系中克隆出来.BCAS2与CDC 5L、Prp19、PLRG1等其他几种RNA剪切因子形成CDC 5L(Cell Division Cycle 5-like)/Prp19 (Pre-mRNA-processing factor 19)蛋白复合体的核心组分,研究发现该蛋白复合体广泛存在于很多细胞系中,通过调节RNA剪切体和DNA损伤修复等多种信号通路行驶重要功能.CDC 5L /Prp19复合体中组分PRP19和PLRG1的基因敲除导致小鼠胚胎致死提示该蛋白复合体及复合体中其他组分在小鼠早期胚胎发育过程中具有重要功能.结论:本研究利用条件性基因敲除小鼠技术证明母源性BCAS2在哺乳动物早期胚胎发育过程中通过调控CDC 5L/Prp19复合体其他组分的稳定及DNA损伤修复路径行驶重要功能.
