22 Jul 2008
Abstract excerpt
Selective protein synthesis in oocytes, eggs and early embryos of many organisms drives several critical aspects of early development, including meiotic maturation and entry into mitosis, establishment of embryonic axes and cell fate determination. mRNA-binding proteins which (usually) recognize 3'-UTR (untranslated region) elements in target mRNAs influence the recruitment of the small ribosomal subunit to the...
