The
research in our group is focused on various aspects of RNA structure
and function. 5S rRNA is a component of the ribosome and its
expression and utilization in Xenopus
oocytes provides a
simple system for studying developmental control of transcription,
intracellular transport of RNA, and the principles of RNA-protein
recognition. In fact, current projects in the lab are involved in all
three of these areas.Other members of our group
are studying the localization and translational control of Vg1
mRNA. This RNA is transported to one end of the oocyte during a
specific time in development. Once localized, the mRNA can then
be translated. This process insures that the Vg1 protein is
restricted to a particular location in the cell. More details of
our research are inside.
