چکیده
The unique cell cycle dynamics of meiosis are controlled by layers of regulation imposed on core mitotic cell cycle machinery components by the program of germ cell development. Although the mechanisms that regulate Cdk1/Cyclin B activity in meiosis in oocytes have been well studied, little is known about the transacting factors responsible for developmental control of these factors in male gametogenesis. During meiotic prophase in Drosophila males, transcript for the core cell cycle protein Cyclin B1 (CycB) is expressed in spermatocytes, but the protein does not accumulate in spermatocytes until just before the meiotic divisions. Here, we show that two interacting proteins, Rbp4 and Fest, expressed at the onset of spermatocyte differentiation under control of the developmental program of male gametogenesis, function to direct cell typeand stage-specific repression of translation of the core G2/M cell cycle component cycB during the specialized cell cycle of male meiosis. Binding of Fest to Rbp4 requires a 31-amino acid region within Rbp4. Rbp4 and Fest are required for translational repression of cycB in immature spermatocytes, with Rbp4 binding sequences in a cell typespecific shortened form of the cycB 3′ UTR. Finally, we show that Fest is required for proper execution of meiosis I.

An electrospray mass spectrometric method for accurate mass determination of highly acid-sensitive phosphoramidites.
An accurate mass determination method utilizing electrospray ionization mass spectrometry is described for analysis of several different types of phosphoramidites that are extremely acid-sensitive compounds. An earlier method, which applied a LiCl/acetonitrile system, was extended for this special application by using polymeric standards including poly(ethylene glycol) (PEG), poly(ethylene glyc...

We report the discovery of a new bright (V∼12.6) cataclysmic variable star identified with the ROSAT X-ray source RX J1643.7+3402. Spectroscopic and photometric observations show it to be a novalike variable sharing some of the characteristics of the SW Sex sub-class of novalike CVs. The spectroscopic period may be either 2. 575 or 2. 885, within the period “gap.” A photometric modulation with ...
