Gametogenesis: Keeping the male element under control
نویسنده
چکیده
Caenorhabditis elegans hermaphrodites switch from making sperm to oocytes. This switch involves repression of fem-3 mRNA, mediated by a protein that binds RNA through a conserved motif; a similar motif mediates RNA binding by the Drosophila pattern-regulatory protein Pumilio.

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 gam...
متن کاملSignaling and Transcriptional Control of Reproductive Development in Arabidopsis
Plant reproductive development is a complex process with diploid and haploid phases, including male and female organogenesis, meiosis, gametogenesis, pollination and fertilization. A number of regulatory mechanisms control both diploid and haploid cell division and differentiation, especially cell-cell signaling pathways mediated by receptor-linked protein kinases with prominent roles in early ...
متن کاملEffects of Herbal Medicine on Male Infertility
The inability to have a child is a baleful event for millions of couples in their life, and a large percentage of them have a personal frustration. The problem of infertility in couples is distributed equitably between the two sexes. Among different methods, medicinal plants have been used in many Nations to treat male infertility problems. These medicinal herbs are used to treat sperm disorder...
متن کاملWRKY2/34–VQ20 Modules in Arabidopsis thaliana Negatively Regulate Expression of a Trio of Related MYB Transcription Factors During Pollen Development
Male gametogenesis in plants is tightly controlled and involves the complex and precise regulation of transcriptional reprogramming. Interactions between WRKY proteins and VQ motif-containing proteins are required to control these complicated transcriptional networks. However, our understanding of the mechanisms by which these complexes affect downstream gene expression is quite limited. In thi...
متن کاملThe Arabidopsis transcription factor IIB-related protein BRP4 is involved in the regulation of mitotic cell-cycle progression during male gametogenesis
Male gametogenesis in angiosperms involves two rounds of mitosis that are essential for the generation of two sperm cells to achieve double fertilization, a distinct event in the sexual reproduction of flowering plants. Precise regulation of mitosis during male gametogenesis is critically important for the establishment of the male germline. However, the molecular mechanisms underlying mitotic ...
