Abstract excerpt
In the nematode Caenorhabditis elegans, the conserved LIN-41 RNA-binding protein is a translational repressor that coordinately controls oocyte growth and meiotic maturation. LIN-41 exerts these effects, at least in part, by preventing the premature activation of the cyclin-dependent kinase CDK-1 Here we investigate the mechanism by which LIN-41 is rapidly eliminated upon the onset of meiotic maturation....
