Germ granules and the control of mRNA translation.

IUBMB life - 1 Jul 2012

Sengupta Madhu S, Boag Peter R

Abstract excerpt

Germ granules are an evolutionarily conserved feature of germ cell cytoplasm and are critical for gametogenesis and embryonic development. Germ granules are highly enriched for RNA and RNA-binding proteins and are key centers for post-transcriptional gene regulation in germ cells. Over the last 20 years, the molecular events in germ granule function and formation in several organisms have begun to be revealed....
