Stra8 | Stimulated by retinoic acid gene 8 protein; Meiosis-inducer required for the transition into meiosis for both female and male germ cells. In female germ cells, required for premeiotic DNA replication and subsequent events in meiotic prophase. During spermatogenesis, next to its role in meiotic initiation, promotes (but is not required for) spermatogonial differentiation. Can associate with DNA (possibly in an indirect manner), and in vitro can activate DNA transcription. (393 aa) | ||||
Utp14b | U3 small nucleolar RNA-associated protein 14 homolog B; Essential for spermatogenesis. May be required specifically for ribosome biogenesis and hence protein synthesis during male meiosis; Belongs to the UTP14 family. (780 aa) |
