ZAR1/ZAR2-mediated maternal mRNA fate control in oocyte maturation and early embryonic development
Oocyte maturation and early embryonic development following fertilization occur during a phase of restricted transcriptional activity and are highly dependent on the storage, translational activation, and timed clearance of maternal mRNAs. In recent years, zygote arrest 1 (ZAR1) and its homolog zygote arrest 2 (ZAR2)...
