Dual roles for transcription and translation factors in the RNA storage particles of Xenopus oocytes.

Tafuri SR, Wolffe AP.


???displayArticle.abstract???
During oogenesis, Xenopus laevis utilizes homologues of normal transcription or translation factors to sequester a variety of RNA molecules into ribonucleoprotein storage particles. This remarkable adaptive function for a diverse group of regulatory molecules allows the oocyte to stockpile macromolecules for use during embryogenesis. We discuss the special features of these nucleic acid-binding proteins and the insights into their structure and function that follow from their dual biological role.
