In X. laevis embryos high levels of the anti-apoptotic factor p27BBP/eIF6 are stage-dependently found in BrdU and TUNEL-reactive territoriesN De Marco
Department of Structural and Functional Biology, University of Naples Federico II, Naples, Italy
Zygote 19:157-63. 2011..The higher presence of p27BBP/eIF6 would appear related to an increased need of apoptosis control in the regions where cell death is essential for normal development...
Eukaryotic initiation factor 6 (eif6) overexpression affects eye development in Xenopus laevisN De Marco
Department of Structural and Functional Biology, University of Naples Federico II, Naples, Italy
Differentiation 82:108-15. 2011..These results indicate that the aberrant eye phenotype, produced by eif6 overexpression, is not directly linked to the PKC-regulated effects of eif6 on translation and ribosomal subunit interaction or on eif6 anti-apoptotic properties...
p27(BBP)/eIF6 acts as an anti-apoptotic factor upstream of Bcl-2 during Xenopus laevis developmentN De Marco
Department of Structural and Functional Biology, University of Naples Federico II, Naples, Italy
Cell Death Differ 17:360-72. 2010..In particular, we suggest that Xp27(BBP)/eIF6 may regulate the translation of factors upstream of Bcl-2/Bax...
Lipovitellin constitutes the protein backbone of glycoproteins involved in sperm-egg interaction in the amphibian Discoglossus pictusC Campanella
Department of Structural and Functional Biology, University of Naples Federico II, MSA, Naples, Italy
Mol Reprod Dev 78:161-71. 2011..The dimple forms in the ovulated oocyte following the exocytosis of vesicles that likely expose DpLIVs at their membrane. Indeed, in whole mounts of immunostained eggs, anti-vitellogenin antibodies label only the surface of the dimple...
A transient asymmetric distribution of XNOA 36 mRNA and the associated spectrin network bisects Xenopus laevis stage I oocytes along the future A/V axisM C Vaccaro
Department of Structural and Functional Biology, University of Naples Federico II, Italy
Eur J Cell Biol 89:525-36. 2010..In conclusion, our data suggest that XNOA 36 mRNA is localized and/or anchored in the oocyte through a cytoskeletal network containing spectrin. The putative implications of this finding are discussed...
