NcRNA BC1 influences translation in the oocyte.

ABSTRACT: Regulation of translation is essential for the diverse biological processes involved in development. Particularly, mammalian oocyte development requires the precisely controlled translation of maternal transcripts to coordinate meiotic and early embryo progression while transcription is silent. It has been recently reported that key components of mRNA translation control are short and long noncoding RNAs (ncRNAs). We found that the ncRNABrain cytoplasmic 1 (BC1) has a role in the fully grown germinal vesicle (GV) mouse oocyte, where is highly expressed in the cytoplasm associated with polysomes. Overexpression of BC1 in GV oocyte leads to a minute decrease in global translation with a significant reduction of specific mRNA translation via interaction with the Fragile X Mental
