Identification of germ cell-specific Mga variant mRNA that promotes meiosis via impediment of a non-canonical PRC1

Abstract A non-canonical PRC1 (PRC1.6) prevents precocious meiotic onset. Germ cells alleviate its negative effect by reducing their amount of MAX, a component of PRC1.6, as a prerequisite for their bona fide meiosis. Here, we found that germ cells produced Mga variant mRNA bearing a premature termi...
