Abstract excerpt
Grip2.1 is a conserved PDZ-domain protein with a function in the context of primordial germ cell development and migration in Xenopus embryos. Its mRNA is maternally supplied and found to be associated with the germ plasm, located at the tip of the vegetal cortex in Xenopus oocytes. Here, we demonstrate that the 3'-UTR of XGrip2.1 contains a 211 nucleotide RNA signal sequence that promotes localization to the...
