Nanos protein promotes abdominal structures in Drosophila embryos by repressing the
translation of maternal hunchback mRNA in the posterior. To study the mechanism of nanos-…

The germ cells, and germ cell precursors, in the nematode Caenorhabditis elegans contain
distinctive granules called P granules. During early embryogenesis, P granules are …

As Caenorhabditis elegans hermaphrodites age, sperm become depleted, ovulation arrests,
and oocytes accumulate in the gonad arm. Large ribonucleoprotein (RNP) foci form in these …

In a variety of cell types in plants, animals, and fungi, ribonucleoprotein (RNP) complexes
play critical roles in regulating RNA metabolism. These RNP granules include processing …

P granules are cytoplasmic structures of unknown function that are associated with germ
nuclei in the C. elegans gonad, and are localized exclusively to germ cells, or germ cell …

P granules, ribonucleoprotein (RNP) complexes specific to the cytoplasmic side of the nuclear
pores of Caenorhabditis elegans germ cells, are implicated in post-transcriptional control …

RNA-binding proteins undergo regulated phase transitions in an array of cell types. The
phase separation of RNA-binding proteins, and subsequent formation of RNP condensates or …

Protective cellular responses to stress and aging in the germline are essential for perpetuation
of a species; however, relatively few studies have focused on how germ cells respond to …

Large cytoplasmic ribonucleoprotein germ granule complexes are a common feature in
germ cells. In C. elegans these are called P granules and for much of the life-cycle they …

Within the rhabditid phylogeny of nematodes, the great majority of species are gonochoristic,
having evolved as obligate male/female species. In contrast, the well-studied nematode …
