4E-BP1 effects on protein synthesis in the oocytes. (A) Renilla luciferase reporter carrying 5′UTR TOP motive of Eef2 co-injected with 4E-BP1-Wt or 4E-BP1-Ala RNA. In the control no 4E-BP1 RNA was used and the IRES motive Firefly Luciferase was used as a loading control. Chemiluminescence was measured in the post NEBD stage (mean value ± 6 and 4 %, Student's t-test, NS = non-significant) and MII stage oocytes (mean values ± SD, Student's t-test). Data are presented as mean ± SD, n ≥ 10 replicates. (B) Measurement of in situ translation intensity in the chromosomal area (CTA, mean value ± SD, Student's t-test, NS = non-significant) and perispindular translational area (PTA, mean value ± SD, Student's t-test) in the post NEBD oocytes, HPG (red) and DNA (blue). Data are presented as mean ± SD, n ≥ 21. Scale bar = 20 µm.
