Description: Rgs14a RNA is a previously unidentified component of the germ plasm strongly expressed in premigratory PGCs. Fig. 1. Zebrafish regulator of G-protein signaling 14a (rgs14a) RNA expression and Rgs14a protein localization. (A) A schematic representation of the Rgs14a protein structure showing the N-terminal RGS domain, the two Raf-like Ras-binding domains (RBD), and the C-terminal GoLoco domain. (B) Wholemount in situ RNA hybridization using rgs14a (Left) and nanos (Right) antisense RNA probes at the indicated embryonic stages; 5.3- and 10-hpf embryos were overstained in the case of rgs14a in situ hybridization to detect the weak expression in the PGCs.
