Summary: Enables identical protein binding activity and single-stranded RNA binding activity. Involved in germ cell development; germ cell migration; and negative regulation of protein phosphorylation. Acts upstream of or within female germ-line stem cell population maintenance and oocyte growth. Located in P granule. Is expressed in blastodisc; forebrain; germ line cell; reproductive system; and unfertilized egg. Orthologous to human NANOS3 (nanos C2HC-type zinc finger 3).

What's a GeneRIF?

Data indicate that nanos3 function is required for the maintenance of germline stem cell (GSC), but not for their specification, and suggest that nanos2 and nanos3 are partially redundant in this role.
Title: nanos3 maintains germline stem cells and expression of the conserved germline stem cell gene nanos2 in the zebrafish ovary.
Data show a novel interaction between zebrafish Nanos and myosin light chain II (Mylz2).
Title: Zebrafish Nanos interacts with and regulates the phosphorylation of Mylz2.
These results provide the structural basis for further studies to clarify Nanos function.

Preliminary x ray diffraction studies the C-terminal domain (residues 59-159) of zebrafish Nanos, is reported.

Regulatory interplay between Nos and Pumilio (Pum) could cause a small change in Pum activity to be amplified into a large shift in the balance between GluRIIA and GluRIIB subunit synapses.
Title: The translational repressors Nanos and Pumilio have divergent effects on presynaptic terminal growth and postsynaptic glutamate receptor subunit composition.
Using transgenes that compromise nos mRNA localization and translational regulation, we show that wild-type body patterning can ensue without nos mRNA localization provided that nos translation is properly modulated
Title: Dispensability of nanos mRNA localization for abdominal patterning but not for germ cell development.
In zebrafish nanos is expressed in early stage oocytes in the adult female germline.
Title: nanos1 is required to maintain oocyte production in adult zebrafish.

RefSeqs maintained independently of Annotated Genomes

These reference sequences exist independently of genome builds. Explain

These reference sequences are curated independently of the genome annotation cycle, so their versions may not match the RefSeq versions in the current genome build. Identify version mismatches by comparing the version of the RefSeq in this section to the one reported in Genomic regions, transcripts, and products above.
