Xpat, a gene expressed specifically in germ plasm and primordial germ cells of Xenopus laevis
cDNAs specific to vegetal poles of Xenopus gastrula embryos were used as a probe to screen a gastrula vegetal pole cDNA library. One of the novel clones isolated had an RNA expression pattern consistent with it being a component of germ plasm and it was thus named Xpat (Xenopus primordial germ cell associated transcript). The open reading frame encodes a 35 kDa protein with no clear homologies....
متن کاملA Xenopus DAZ-like gene encodes an RNA component of germ plasm and is a functional homologue of Drosophila boule.
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 ve...

متن کاملDEADSouth protein localizes to germ plasm and is required for the development of primordial germ cells in Xenopus laevis
DEADSouth mRNA is a component of germ plasm in Xenopus laevis and encodes a DDX25 DEAD-box RNA helicase. To determine the intracellular localization of DEADSouth protein, we injected mRNA encoding DEADSouth tagged with mCherry fluorescent protein into fertilized eggs from transgenic Xenopus expressing EGFP fused with a mitochondrial targeting signal. The DEADSouth-mCherry fusion protein was loc...
متن کاملPrimordial germ cells in mice.
Germ cell development creates totipotency through genetic as well as epigenetic regulation of the genome function. Primordial germ cells (PGCs) are the first germ cell population established during development and are immediate precursors for both the oocytes and spermatogonia. We here summarize recent findings regarding the mechanism of PGC development in mice. We focus on the transcriptional ...
