Nuclear transport of 5S ribosomal RNA in Xenopus laevis oocytes.

This thesis presents investigations into aspects of oocyte-type 5S ribosomal RNA (5S rRNA) nuclear transport in Xenopus laevis oocytes. Oocyte-type 5S rRNA synthesis begins in the nucleus of early-stage oocytes before other ribosomal RNAs and proteins are available, and the RNA is subsequently store...
