Abstract excerpt
In early Caenorhabditis elegans embryos, production of new mRNAs is inhibited in the germ lineage. This inhibition requires the germline factor PIE-1, and correlates with the absence in germline blastomeres of a phosphoepitope on RNA polymerase II (RNAPII-H5). We show that PIE-1 is uniformly distributed in oocytes and newly fertilized eggs, and becomes localized asymmetrically in the late one-cell stage. To begin...
