Reviewer #2 (Public review): Summary: The authors analyzed Xenopus oocytes at different stages of meiosis using quantitative phosphoproteomics. Their advanced methods and analyses revealed changes in ...

A strict temporal order of maternal mRNA translation is essential for meiotic cell cycle progression in oocytes of the frog Xenopus laevis. The molecular mechanisms controlling the ordered pattern of ...

Researchers at the Center for Genomic Regulation (CRG) in Barcelona have discovered a mechanism that may explain how immature human egg cells (oocytes) are able to survive for long periods of time ...

Activity in the the mitochondrial electron transport chain (ETC), a crucial aspect of mitochondria, was not detected in human or Xenopus oocytes, though it was found to be functional. Unblike Xenopus ...

Human and zebrafish HCN4 channels were expressed in Xenopus oocytes, and the inhibitors were applied to the recording bath. The concentrations of the inhibitors were in the range of 1–100 μM ...

After RNA from CMK 11-5 cells was microinjected into Xenopus oocytes, only ADP and ADP-α-S stimulated 45 Ca 2+ efflux, which was not observed with ATP, 2-methylthio-ATP, α,β-methylene-ATP, ATP-γ-S, ...

Nuclei of Xenopus laevis oocytes grow 100 000‐fold larger in volume than a typical somatic nucleus and require an unusual intranuclear F‐actin scaffold for mechanical stability. We now developed a ...
