Protection of specific maternal messenger RNAs by the P body protein CGH-1 (Dhh1/RCK) during <i>Caenorhabditis elegans</i> oogenesis
11 Aug 2008
Abstract excerpt
During oogenesis, numerous messenger RNAs (mRNAs) are maintained in a translationally silenced state. In eukaryotic cells, various translation inhibition and mRNA degradation mechanisms congregate in cytoplasmic processing bodies (P bodies). The P body protein Dhh1 inhibits translation and promotes decapping-mediated mRNA decay together with Pat1 in yeast, and has been implicated in mRNA storage in metazoan...
