Abstract

The c-mos proto-oncogene product is a key element in the cascade of events leading to meiotic maturation of vertebrate oocytes. We have investigated the role of cytoplasmic polyadenylation in the translational control of mouse c-mos mRNA and its contribution to meiosis. Using an RNase protection assay we show that optimal cytoplasmic polyadenylation of c-mos mRNA requires three cis elements in the 3' UTR: the polyadenylation hexanucleotide AAUAAA and two U-rich cytoplasmic polyadenylation elements (CPEs) located 4 and 51 nucleotides upstream of the hexanucleotide. When fused to CAT coding sequences, the wild-type 3' UTR of c-mos mRNA, but not a 3' UTR containing mutations in both CPEs, confers translational recruitment during maturation. This recruitment coincides with maximum polyadenylation. To assess whether c-mos mRNA polyadenylation is necessary for maturation of mouse oocytes, we have ablated endogenous c-mos mRNA by injecting an antisense oligonucleotide, which results in a failure to progress to meiosis II after emission of the first polar body. Such antisense oligonucleotide-injected oocytes could be efficiently rescued by co-injection of a c-mos mRNA carrying a wild-type 3' UTR. However, co-injection of a c-mos mRNA lacking functional CPEs substantially lowered the rescue activity. These results demonstrate that translational control of c-mos mRNA by cytoplasmic polyadenylation is necessary for normal development.

Each is checked against this paper’s own text: does it say what the citing paper says it does?

  • In early embryos, longer poly(A)-tail lengths cause more efficient translation.

    “We favor this last possibility because it agrees with the known importance of cytoplasmic polyadenylation for activating genes in maturing oocytes8,21,22 and early embryos23,24 of Xenopus and certain other vertebrate contexts25–30.”

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
