A <i>Xenopus DAZ</i>-like gene encodes an RNA component of germ plasm and is a functional homologue of <i>Drosophila boule</i>

15 Jan 1998

Abstract excerpt

We have identified a localized RNA component of Xenopus germ plasm. This RNA, Xdazl (Xenopus DAZ-like), encodes a protein homologous to human DAZ (Deleted in Azoospermia), vertebrate DAZL and Drosophila Boule proteins. Human males deficient in DAZ have few or no sperm and boule mutant flies exhibit complete azoospermia and male sterility. Xdazl RNA was detected in the mitochondrial cloud and vegetal cortex of...
