Abstract:Background
Maternal protein degradation in mammalian preimplantation embryos has yet to be fully understood. One major pathway is the ubiquitin-proteasome system. Recently, new forms of ubiquitination such as neddylation have been found to play important roles in a wide variety of biological processes, including reproduction. However, the molecular mechanism of neddylation in the early embryonic development of mammals is mostly unknown.
Methods
The zygotes were collected through in vitro fertilization and th… Show more
