Polarity-dependent asymmetric distribution and MEX-5/6-mediated translational activation of the Era-1 mRNA in C. elegans embryos.

The early C. elegans embryo is an attractive model system to investigate fundamental developmental processes. With the exception of mex-3 mRNA, maternally contributed mRNAs are thought to be distributed uniformly in the one-cell embryo. Here, we report and characterize the striking distribution of t...
