During the oogenesis of Xenopus laevis, oocytes accumulate maternal materials for early embryo development. As the transcription activity of the oocyte is silenced at the fully grown stage and the global genome is reactivated only by the mid-blastulaembryo stage, the translation of maternal mRNAs accumulated during oocyte growth should be accurately regulated. Previous evidence has illustrated that the poly(A) tail length and RNA binding elements mediate RNA translation regulation in the oocyte. Recently, RNA methylation has been found to exist in various systems. In this study, we sequenced the N6-methyladenosine (m6A) modified mRNAs in fully grown germinal vesicle-stage and metaphase II-stage oocytes. As a result, we identified 4207 mRNAs with m6A peaks in germinal vesicle-stage or metaphase II-stage oocytes. When we integrated the mRNA methylation data with transcriptome and proteome data, we found that the highly methylated mRNAs showed significantly lower protein levels than those of the hypomethylated mRNAs, although the RNA levels showed no significant difference. We also found that the hypomethylated mRNAs were mainly enriched in the cell cycle and translation pathways, whereas the highly methylated mRNAs were mainly associated with protein phosphorylation. Our results suggest that oocyte mRNA methylation can regulate cellular translation and cell division during oocyte meiotic maturation and early embryo development.
