DAZL is essential for stress granule formation implicated in germ cell survival upon heat stress
6 Jan 2012
Abstract excerpt
Mammalian male germ cells should be maintained below body temperature for proper development. Here, we investigated how male germ cells respond to heat stress. A short exposure of mouse testes to core body temperature induced phosphorylation of eIF2α and the formation of stress granules (SGs) in male germ cells. We observed that DAZL, a germ cell-specific translational regulator, was translocated to SGs upon heat...
