Vegetal RNA Localization in Xenopus Oocytes. Stage III oocytes were injected with Alexa-546-labeled VLE RNA (A) or Alexa-546-labeled vector control RNA (B) and cultured to allow localization. Control oocytes were uninjected (C). The VLE (Vg1 Localization Element; 11) directs RNA localization to the vegetal cortex, bottom, while the vector control RNA (of similar length, synthesized from pSP73) is uniformly distributed throughout the oocyte cytoplasm. Scale bar = 50 μm.
