Expression of MSY2 in Mouse Oocytes and Preimplantation Embryos1

Abstract excerpt

Translational control plays a central role during oocyte maturation and early embryogenesis, as these processes occur in the absence of transcription. MSY2, a member of a multifunctional Y-box protein family, is implicated in repressing the translation of paternal mRNAs. Here, we characterize MSY2 expression in mouse oocytes and preimplantation embryos. Northern blot analysis indicates that MSY2 expression is...
