描述信息 Oocyte development requires tight regulation of transcription and RNA metabolism, coordinated by RNA-binding proteins (RBPs) whose roles in mammalian oogenesis remain incompletely understood. Here, we identify the DEAD-box RNA helicase DDX5 as a key regulator of RNA homeostasis in oocytes. Oocyte-specific deletion of DDX5 leads to female sterility, marked by defective chromatin remodeling, meiotic arrest, increased aneuploidy, and fertilization failure. Mechanistically, DDX5 maintains RNA homeostasis through three interconnected processes: (1) promoting transcription via interaction with RNA Polymerase II in non-surrounded nucleolus (NSN)-stage germinal vesicle (GV) oocytes; (2) clearing retrotransposon RNAs to safeguard transcriptome integrity; and (3) supporting maternal mRNA storage by coordinating nuclear export, mitochondrial organization, and mitochondria-associated ribonucleoprotein domains (MARDO) assembly. Our study establishes DDX5 as a master regulator integrating transcriptional and post-transcriptional programs to ensure oocyte competence and fertility.
