Zebrafish MiR-430 promotes deadenylation and clearance of maternal mRNAs.

Antonio J Giraldez, Yuichiro Mishima, +5 authors Alexander F Schier
Science
2006

MicroRNAs (miRNAs) comprise 1 to 3% of all vertebrate genes, but their in vivo functions and mechanisms of action remain largely unknown. Zebrafish miR-430 is expressed at the onset of zygotic… (More)

A vertebrate RNA-binding protein Fox-1 regulates tissue-specific splicing via the pentanucleotide GCAUG.

Yui Jin, Hitoshi Suzuki, +5 authors Kunio Inoue
The EMBO journal
2003

Alternative splicing is one of the central mechanisms that regulate eukaryotic gene expression. Here we report a tissue-specific RNA-binding protein, Fox-1, which regulates alternative splicing in… (More)

Spatiotemporal localization of germ plasm RNAs during zebrafish oogenesis

Kyoko Kosaka, Koichi Kawakami, Hiroshi Sakamoto, Kunio Inoue
Mechanisms of Development
2007

In zebrafish, primordial germ cells (PGCs) are determined by a specialized maternal cytoplasm, the germ plasm, which forms at the distal ends of the cleavage furrows in 4-cell embryos. The germ plasm… (More)

Differential Regulation of Germline mRNAs in Soma and Germ Cells by Zebrafish miR-430

Yuichiro Mishima, Antonio J Giraldez, +4 authors Kunio Inoue
Current Biology
2006

Early in development, primordial germ cells (PGCs) are set aside from somatic cells and acquire a unique gene-expression program . The mechanisms underlying germline-specific gene expression are… (More)

Visualization of primordial germ cells in vivo using GFP-nos1 3'UTR mRNA.

Taiju Saito, Takafumi Fujimoto, +4 authors Etsuro Yamaha
The International journal of developmental…
2006

In some teleost fish, primordial germ cells (PGCs) inherit specific maternal cytoplasmic factors such as vasa and nanos 1 (nos1) mRNA. It has been shown that the 3'untranslated regions (UTRs) of vasa… (More)

Control of doublesex alternative splicing by transformer and transformer-2 in Drosophila.

Kazuyuki Hoshijima, Kunio Inoue, Itsuro Higuchi, Hiroshi Sakamoto, Yoshiro Shimura
Science
1991

Sex-specific alternative processing of doublesex (dsx) precursor messenger RNA (pre-mRNA) regulates somatic sexual differentiation in Drosophila melanogaster. Cotransfection analyses in which the dsx… (More)

Cell-specific and conditional expression of caffeoyl-coenzyme A-3-O-methyltransferase in poplar.

C. Chen, Hugo Meyermans, +7 authors Wout Boerjan
Plant physiology
2000

Caffeoyl coenzyme A-3-O-methyltransferase (CCoAOMT) plays an important role in lignin biosynthesis and is encoded by two genes in poplar (Populus trichocarpa). Here, we describe the expression… (More)

DAZL Relieves miRNA-Mediated Repression of Germline mRNAs by Controlling Poly(A) Tail Length in Zebrafish

Yasuaki Takeda, Yuichiro Mishima, Toshinobu Fujiwara, Hiroshi Sakamoto, Kunio Inoue
PloS one
2009

BACKGROUND During zebrafish embryogenesis, microRNA (miRNA) miR-430 contributes to restrict Nanos1 and TDRD7 to primordial germ cells (PGCs) by inducing mRNA deadenylation, mRNA degradation, and… (More)

Binding of the Drosophila Sex-lethal gene product to the alternative splice site of transformer primary transcript

Kunio Inoue, Kazuyuki Hoshijima, Hiroshi Sakamoto, Yoshiro Shimura
Nature
1990

SOMATIC sexual differentiation in Drosophila melanogaster is accomplished by a hierarchy of genes15 of which one, Sex-lethal (Sxl) 6,7, is required for the functional female-specific splicing of the… (More)

Zebrafish DAZ-like protein controls translation via the sequence 'GUUC'.

Shingo Maegawa, Masakane Yamashita, Kunio Yasuda, Kunio Inoue
Genes to cells : devoted to molecular & cellular…
2002

BACKGROUND In many species, DAZ homologous genes encode RNA-binding proteins containing two conserved motifs, namely the RNA-recognition motif (RRM) and the DAZ motif. Genetic analysis and gene… (More)
