As a result, translational control is critical for a variety of developmental decisions, including oocyte maturation and initiation of preimplantation development. In this study, using real-time RT-PCR method, we defined the time course of degradation and deadenylation of an oocyte specific gene (c-mos) more precisely and a gene that is re-synthesized after ZGA (cyclin A2). Our data indicate that oocyte-specific transcript, c-mos, degrades rapidly while cyclin A2 mRNA does not and the deadenylation of c-mos mRNA precedes the process of degradation. Our findings suggest that time-dependent elimination of different maternal mRNA is a way for regulation of translation in early development of mouse embryos }, URL = {http://ibj.pasteur.ac.ir/article-1-490-en.html}, eprint = {http://ibj.pasteur.ac.ir/article-1-490-en.pdf}, journal = {Iranian Biomedical Journal}, doi = {}, year = {2004} }
