Xp54, the Xenopus homologue of human RNA helicase p54, is an integral component of stored mRNP particles in oocytes (1997)
Journal Article
Ladomery, M., Wade, E., & Sommerville, J. (1997). Xp54, the Xenopus homologue of human RNA helicase p54, is an integral component of stored mRNP particles in oocytes. Nucleic Acids Research, 25(5), 965-973

In investigating the composition of stored (maternal) mRNP particles in Xenopus oocytes, attention has focussed primarily on the phosphoproteins pp60/56, which are Y-box proteins involved in a general packaging of mRNA. We now identify a third, abund... Read More about Xp54, the Xenopus homologue of human RNA helicase p54, is an integral component of stored mRNP particles in oocytes.

Multifunctional proteins suggest connections between transcriptional and post-transcriptional processes (1997)
Journal Article
Ladomery, M. (1997). Multifunctional proteins suggest connections between transcriptional and post-transcriptional processes. BioEssays, 19(10), 903-909. https://doi.org/10.1002/bies.950191010

Recent findings indicate that substantial cross-talk may exist between transcriptional and post-transcriptional processes. Firstly, there are suggestions that specific promoters influence the post-transcriptional fate of transcripts, pointing to comm...

Transcription and masking of mRNA in germ cells: Involvement of Y-box proteins (1996)
Journal Article
Sommerville, J., & Ladomery, M. (1996). Transcription and masking of mRNA in germ cells: Involvement of Y-box proteins. Chromosoma, 104(7), 469-478. https://doi.org/10.1007/BF00352111

Gametogenesis is directed by various specialized genetic mechanisms which, to a considerable extent, apply to the production of both eggs and sperm and have been conserved across a wide spectrum of eukaryotic organisms. Two key aspects which are disc... Read More about Transcription and masking of mRNA in germ cells: Involvement of Y-box proteins.

A role for Y‐box proteins in cell proliferation (1995)
Journal Article
Ladomery, M., & Sommerville, J. (1995). A role for Y‐box proteins in cell proliferation. BioEssays, 17(1), 9-11. https://doi.org/10.1002/bies.950170104

Members of the Y‐box (YB) family of transcription factors are expressed in a wide range of cell types and are implicated in the regulation of a rapidly increasing number of genes. Although the biological activities of YB proteins appear to be varied,... Read More about A role for Y‐box proteins in cell proliferation.

Binding of Y-box proteins to RNA: Involvement of different protein domains (1994)
Journal Article
Ladomery, M., & Sommerville, J. (1994). Binding of Y-box proteins to RNA: Involvement of different protein domains. Nucleic Acids Research, 22(25), 5582-5589

Eukaryotlc Y-box proteins are reported to interact with a wide variety of nucleic acid structures to act as transcription factors and mRNA masking proteins. The modular structure of Y-box proteins Includes a highly conserved N-termlnal cold-shock... Read More about Binding of Y-box proteins to RNA: Involvement of different protein domains.
