Mobilization of maternal mRNA in amphibian eggs with special reference to the possible role of membraneous supramolecular structures.

Shiokawa K .


???displayArticle.abstract???
Current knowledge of the mechanism of mobilization of maternal mRNA is summarized herein and a working hypothesis has been constructed to explain the mechanism on the assumption that the mRNA enters the cytoplasm in association with the cytoplasmic membraneous structures and is then stored in the structures until liberation and relocation at the step of oocyte maturation. An extensive turnover of poly(A) sequences as well as the occurrence of repetitive sequences in the maternal mRNA may be relevant to mRNA activation.
