Structure of the Mouse Cytoplasmic Lattice
Researchers used cryo‑electron microscopy to resolve the native mouse cytoplasmic lattice (CPL) repeating unit, a ~4 MDa assembly, at 3.74 Å resolution. The structure reveals a tripartite design: an external framework of PADI6 decamers and subcortical maternal complexes, NLRP4F linkers that extend the framework into filaments, and a core that traps UHRF1, GTP‑bound α/β‑tubulin heterodimers, and inactive SCF ubiquitin‑ligase components. This architecture shows CPLs act as dynamic storage organelles, poised to supply microtubules and regulate ubiquitination during the oocyte‑to‑embryo transition. The findings illuminate how maternal proteins are organized for early embryogenesis.
