Fig. 9. Translational activities of transcripts encoding factors related to maternal mRNA clearance in oocytes of 4-week-od WT or Cxxc1-deleted mice.

Fluorescence microscopy results (a) and quantification of the fluorescent signals (b) showing the translation activities of the Cnot6l 3′-UTR in GV or MII oocytes of 4-week-old WT or Cxxc1^fl/fl;Gdf9-Cre mice. c, d Fluorescence (c) and quantification (d) showing the translation activities of the Btg4 3′-UTR in GV or MII oocytes of 4-week-old WT or Cxxc1^fl/fl;Gdf9-Cre mice. Fluorescence (e) and quantification (f) showing the translation activities of the Pabpn1l 3′-UTR in GV or MII oocytes of 4-week-old WT or Cxxc1^fl/fl;Gdf9-Cre mice. g, h Fluorescence (g) and quantification (h) showing the translation activities of the Cnot7 3′-UTR in GV or MII oocytes of 4-week-old WT or Cxxc1^fl/fl;Gdf9-Cre mice. Scale bar = 100 µm (a, c, e, g). In b, d, f and h, data are presented as mean values ± SEM. P by two-tailed Student’s t-test. n.s.: non-significant.
