The endogenous mex-3 3´UTR is required for germline repression and contributes to optimal fecundity in C. elegans.

RNA regulation is essential to successful reproduction. Messenger RNAs delivered from parent to progeny govern early embryonic development. RNA-binding proteins (RBPs) are the key effectors of this process, regulating the translation and stability of parental transcripts to control cell fate specifi...
