The C. Elegans Rna-Binding Protein Gld-1 Recognizes Sequence, Structure And Context Information To Repress Translation Of Its Mrna Targets, Jung Hoon Doh
Legacy Theses & Dissertations (2009 - 2024)
Considering the general suppression of transcription during late oogenesis and early embryo development, post-transcriptional control of maternal mRNAs by RNA binding proteins emerges as an important mechanism in controlling late oogenesis and early embryo development. The C. elegans germline offers an ideal system to understand such processes. GLD-1 (GermLine Development defective) is a maxi-KH motif containing RNA binding protein, which controls many different stages during the C. elegans germline development from decision over germ cell proliferation vs. meiosis entry to production of mature gametes, suggesting that GLD-1 likely controls many mRNA targets. gld-1 mutants have variable germline defects, the major …
Gld-1 Represses Its Puf Mrna Targets Prior To/At Initiation Of Translation In The C.Elegans Germline, Gautham Sarathy
Gld-1 Represses Its Puf Mrna Targets Prior To/At Initiation Of Translation In The C.Elegans Germline, Gautham Sarathy
Legacy Theses & Dissertations (2009 - 2024)
The C.elegans germline offers an ideal system to study posttranscriptional regulation of gene expression as it is a major mechanism through which the control over gene expression is achieved. GLD-1 (defective in GermLine Development) is a maxi-KH motif containing RNA binding protein that controls various aspects of germline development from decision over germcell proliferation vs. meiotic entry to the production of mature gametes suggesting that GLD-1 likely controls many mRNA targets.
