Musashi interaction with poly(A) binding protein is required for activation of target mRNA translation
Chad E. Cragle,Melanie C. MacNicol,Stephanie D. Byrum,Linda L. Hardy,Samuel G. Mackintosh,William A. Richardson,Nicola K. Gray,Gwen V. Childs,Alan J. Tackett,Angus M. MacNicol +9 more
TL;DR: These findings reveal novel context-dependent roles for the interaction of Musashi with poly(A)-binding protein family members in response to extracellular cues that control cell fate.

Controlling the Messenger: Regulated Translation of Maternal mRNAs in Xenopus laevis Development
TL;DR: This chapter will discuss studies in Xenopus laevis that provide insights into mechanisms underlying this translational control of maternal mRNAs and an overview of the maternal phase of Xenopus embryogenesis to provide an appreciation for the regulation of maternal cell-fate determinant expression.

TL;DR: This review builds upon knowledge of combinatorial control of mRNA translation during the maturation of oocytes from Xenopus laevis, to address molecular strategies that may mediate RBP diplomacy and conflict resolution for coordinated control of RNA translational output.

Building the Future: Post-transcriptional Regulation of Cell Fate Decisions Prior to the Xenopus Midblastula Transition.
TL;DR: Post-transcriptional mechanisms that function during the maternal stages of Xenopus development are discussed with an emphasis on mechanisms known to directly modulate cell fate decisions.

eIF4E-binding proteins: new factors, new locations, new roles.
TL;DR: The present article focuses on the metazoan 4E-T (4E-transporter)/Cup family of eIF4e-binding proteins, and discusses very recent examples in yeast, fruitflies and humans, some of which predictably inhibit translation, while others may result in mRNA decay or even enhance translation.

VgRBP71 Stimulates Cleavage at a Polyadenylation Signal in Vg1 mRNA, Resulting in the Removal of a cis-Acting Element that Represses Translation
Nikolay G. Kolev,Paul W. Huber +1 more
TL;DR: These results support a model in which VgRBP71 activates translation of Vg1 mRNA by promoting the removal of a cis-acting repressor element.

A novel mRNA 3′ untranslated region translational control sequence regulates Xenopus Wee1 mRNA translation
Yi Ying Wang,Amanda Charlesworth,Shannon M. Byrd,Robert G. Gregerson,Melanie C. MacNicol,Angus M. MacNicol +5 more
TL;DR: A novel translational control sequence (TCS) is identified that exerts repression of target mRNAs in immature oocytes of the frog, Xenopus laevis, and can direct early cytoplasmic polyadenylation and translational activation during oocyte maturation.

Autoregulation of Musashi1 mRNA Translation During Xenopus Oocyte Maturation
TL;DR: The identification and characterization of a new Musashi target mRNA in Xenopus oocytes is reported and it is demonstrated that progesterone‐stimulated translational activation of the Xenopus Musashi1 mRNA is regulated through a functional Musashi binding element (MBE) in the Musashi 1 mRNA 3′ untranslated region (3′ UTR).
Xenopus germline nanos1 is translationally repressed by a novel structure-based mechanism
TL;DR: It is found that an RNA secondary structural element immediately downstream of the AUG start site is both necessary and sufficient to prevent ribosome scanning in the absence of a repressor.
Translational control of synaptic plasticity.
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors review some salient features of translational control of synaptic plasticity, including RNA metabolism at or near the synapse, which is one process that controls long-lasting synaptic formation and memory formation and consolidation.
