Abstract

The oocyte (maternal) nucleolus is essential for early embryonic development and embryos originating from enucleolated oocytes arrest at the 2-cell stage. The reason for this is unclear. We demonstrated that whereas rRNA transcription activation and pre-rRNA processing are unaffected by the absence of NPB, this organelle is essential for the regulation of major and minor satellite sequences and consequently for normal development.
