In the preantral follicles, only the membrana GC expressed BMP-6 mRNA, consistent with a role of the oocyte in regulating GC BMP-6 expression (Fig.
The potential importance of oocyte BMPR-IA mRNA is illustrated by its continuous expression throughout the course of oogenesis as it occurs within the adult ovary.
Examples include the polarized localization of oocyte mRNAs which is crucial for the establishment axis formation in the embryo [ 1 2 3 ] , the targeting of specific mRNAs to the synapses of nerve cells [ 4 5 ] , centrosomal segregation of mRNAs in the mollusk embryo which results in asymmetric inheritance [ 6 ] and the localization of β-actin mRNA to sites of active actin polymerization at the leading edge of motile fibroblasts [ 7 8 ] . In each of these cases, mRNA targeting is mediated by the cytoskeleton.
