The pathway taken by 5S RNA in oocytes of Xenopus laevis.
In Xenopus oocytes, 5S ribosomal RNA (5S RNA) is synthesised prior to other ribosomal components, and stored in the cytoplasm in ribonucleoprotein particles (RNPs). At vitellogenesis, when ribosome assembly begins, 5S RNA is imported into the nucleus and targeted to the amplified nucleoli for assemb...
