Outline of Final Research Achievements |
Germ cells need to disrupt transcription repressing function of PRC1.6 to onset meiosis. In this study, I investigated the molecular bases of impairment of PRC1.6 function. I also tried to examine whether forced disruption of the function of PRC1.6 is accompanied with ectopic onset of meiosis. With these studies, I identified germ cell specific Mga variant which is supposed to disrupt the function of PRC1.6. Furthermore, I observed up-regulation in expression levels of meiosis-related genes in male primordial germ cells by homozygous knockout of Max gene.
