Activity of the EcDazl3'UTR. A X. laevis egg was injected with RNAs of both Venus-XlDS3'UTR and mCHERRY-EcDazl3'UTR. The genital ridge region of the embryo (A) was examined at stage 40 with different light sources to detect Venus (B, green) and mCHERRY (C, red) proteins. The merged image (D, yellow) shows that these two proteins co-localized. The co-localization indicates that the EcDazl 3'UTR directed PGC-specific protein expression in X. laevis.
