RLID: RLID00037405
RNA Symbol: PEM
RNA Category: mRNA
Organism: Ascidian
Subcellular Localization:
Localization Tissue Validated Method PMID
Centrosome Embryo Immunostaining 17570671
Description: Immunostaining showed that the protein is also present in the posterior cortex and the in centrosome-attracting body (CAB) and that the localization is extraction-resistant. Here we show that PEM of Ascidian is required for correct orientation of early-cleavage planes and subsequent unequal cell divisions because it repeatedly pulls a centrosome toward the posterior cortex and the CAB, respectively, where PEM mRNA and protein are localized.
