Germ cell

  • RESEARCH ARTICLE
    Identification of regulatory elements required for Stra8 expression, in fetal ovarian germ cells of the mouse
    Chun-Wei Feng, Guillaume Burnet, Cassy M. Spiller, Fiona Ka Man Cheung, Kallayanee Chawengsaksophak, Peter Koopman, Josephine Bowles
    Development 2021 : dev.194977 doi: 10.1242/dev.194977 Published 11 February 2021
  • RESEARCH ARTICLE
    Evidence that ABC transporter-mediated autocrine export of an eicosanoid signaling molecule enhances germ cell chemotaxis in the colonial tunicate Botryllus schlosseri
    Susannah H. Kassmer, Delany Rodriguez, Anthony W. De Tomaso
    Development 2020 147: dev184663 doi: 10.1242/dev.184663 Published 7 August 2020

    Summary: In the invertebrate chordate Botryllus schlosseri, germ cell chemotaxis towards the primary chemoattractant Sphingosine- 1-Phosphate is enhanced by ABC transporter-mediated export of a secondary chemoattractant: an eicosanoid signaling molecule.

  • RESEARCH ARTICLE
    Loss of the E2 SUMO-conjugating enzyme Ube2i in oocytes during ovarian folliculogenesis causes infertility in mice
    Amanda Rodriguez, Shawn M. Briley, Bethany K. Patton, Swamy K. Tripurani, Kimal Rajapakshe, Cristian Coarfa, Aleksander Rajkovic, Alexandra Andrieux, Anne Dejean, Stephanie A. Pangas
    Development 2019 146: dev176701 doi: 10.1242/dev.176701 Published 2 December 2019

    Summary: Conditional deletion of the E2 SUMO-conjugating enzyme in mouse oocytes causes female infertility as a result of compound defects in ovarian follicle development and oocyte meiotic maturation and progression.

  • RESEARCH ARTICLE
    Zebrafish prmt5 arginine methyltransferase is essential for germ cell development
    Junji Zhu, Dawei Zhang, Xing Liu, Guangqing Yu, Xiaolian Cai, Chenxi Xu, Fangjing Rong, Gang Ouyang, Jing Wang, Wuhan Xiao
    Development 2019 146: dev179572 doi: 10.1242/dev.179572 Published 14 October 2019

    Summary: Prmt5 apparently controls germ cell development by catalyzing arginine methylation of the germline-specific proteins Zili and Vasa.

  • RESEARCH ARTICLE
    Pgc suppresses the zygotically acting RNA decay pathway to protect germ plasm RNAs in the Drosophila embryo
    Kazuko Hanyu-Nakamura, Kazuki Matsuda, Stephen M. Cohen, Akira Nakamura
    Development 2019 146: dev167056 doi: 10.1242/dev.167056 Published 4 April 2019

    Summary: The Drosophila Pgc protein ensures proper primordial germ cell development by repressing transcription of miRNA genes and contributing to the maintenance of germ plasm integrity during the establishment of the germ cell fate.

  • RESEARCH ARTICLE
    Kinesin-1 interacts with Bucky ball to form germ cells and is required to pattern the zebrafish body axis
    Philip D. Campbell, Amanda E. Heim, Mordechai Z. Smith, Florence L. Marlow
    Development 2015 142: 2996-3008; doi: 10.1242/dev.124586

    Summary: Bucky ball is essential for germ plasm assembly in zebrafish. It binds Kinesin-1, which promotes microtubule reorganisation after egg activation and is required for Bucky ball activity.

  • HYPOTHESIS
    Poised chromatin in the mammalian germ line
    Bluma J. Lesch, David C. Page
    Development 2014 141: 3619-3626; doi: 10.1242/dev.113027
  • STEM CELLS AND REGENERATION
    Analysis of a novel gene, Sdgc, reveals sex chromosome-dependent differences of medaka germ cells prior to gonad formation
    Toshiya Nishimura, Amaury Herpin, Tetsuaki Kimura, Ikuyo Hara, Toshihiro Kawasaki, Shuhei Nakamura, Yasuhiro Yamamoto, Taro L. Saito, Jun Yoshimura, Shinichi Morishita, Tatsuya Tsukahara, Satoru Kobayashi, Kiyoshi Naruse, Shuji Shigenobu, Noriyoshi Sakai, Manfred Schartl, Minoru Tanaka
    Development 2014 141: 3363-3369; doi: 10.1242/dev.106864
  • DEVELOPMENT AND STEM CELLS
    Mouse primordial germ cells produce cysts that partially fragment prior to meiosis
    Lei Lei, Allan C. Spradling
    Development 2013 140: 2075-2081; doi: 10.1242/dev.093864
  • DEVELOPMENT AND STEM CELLS
    Endogenous Nodal signaling regulates germ cell potency during mammalian testis development
    Cassy M. Spiller, Chun-Wei Feng, Andrew Jackson, Ad J. M. Gillis, Antoine D. Rolland, Leendert H. J. Looijenga, Peter Koopman, Josephine Bowles
    Development 2012 139: 4123-4132; doi: 10.1242/dev.083006
