P-Body Loss Is Concomitant with Formation of a Messenger RNA Storage Domain in Mouse Oocytes1
15 Jan 2010
Abstract excerpt
In mammalian somatic cells, several pathways that converge on deadenylation, decapping, and 5'-3' degradation are found in cytoplasmic foci known as P-bodies. Because controlled mRNA stability is essential for oocyte-to-zygote transition, we examined the dynamics of P-body components in mouse oocytes. We report that oocyte growth is accompanied by loss of P-bodies and a subcortical accumulation of several...
