Abstract
The translational control mechanisms of native and microinjected messenger RNA (mRNA) in Xenopus oocytes involve the endogenous protein synthesis machinery and govern both the kinetics of protein accumulation and function, as well as the metabolic state of the encoding mRNA.
Keywords:
- protein synthesis;
- translation initiation factors;
- oocyte maturation;
- cell cycle;
- maternal mRNA
