Abstract excerpt
Meiotic progression in Xenopus oocytes, and all other oocytes investigated, is dependent on polyadenylation-induced translation of stockpiled maternal mRNAs. Early during meiotic resumption, phosphorylation of CPE-binding protein (CPEB) is required for polyadenylation-induced translation of mRNAs encoding cell cycle regulators. Xenopus Gef (XGef), a Rho-family guanine-exchange factor, influences the activating...
