| Description: Xcat-2 RNA, a component of the germ plasm in Xenopus, localizes with the mitochondrial cloud material to the vegetal cortex in stage II oocytes. Vg1 RNA also localizes to the vegetal cortex, but later in stage III/IV oocytes, using a microtubule dependent pathway. To further analyze the mechanisms involved in RNA transport, in situ hybridization and autoradiography were used to follow the localization of endogenous Vg1 and injected Xcat-2 transcripts in stage IV oocytes. We show that Xcat-2 is competent to localize to the vegetal cortex quite independently of the mitochondrial cloud. | |||
