  • Title: The mRNA encoding elongation factor 1-alpha (EF-1 alpha) is a major transcript at the midblastula transition in Xenopus.

    Journal: Dev Biol; 1989 May; 133(1):93-100. PubMed ID: 2707491.
    Abstract:
    A Xenopus laevis gastrula cDNA library has been screened in order to identify sequences that are expressed early in development. We find that the mRNA encoding translation elongation factor 1-alpha (EF-1 alpha) is synthesized in very large amounts in the early embryo. Transcription of EF-1 alpha mRNA commences at the midblastula transition (MBT), and new EF-1 alpha protein is synthesized very soon after this, as determined by the association of EF-1 alpha mRNA with polysomes. The nucleotide sequence of a full-length EF-1 alpha cDNA clone and the deduced amino acid sequence of Xenopus EF-1 alpha protein are presented.
