Organizing the oocyte: RNA localization meets phase separation.

???displayArticle.abstract???
RNA localization is a key biological strategy for organizing the cytoplasm and generating both cellular and developmental polarity. During RNA localization, RNAs are targeted asymmetrically to specific subcellular destinations, resulting in spatially and temporally restricted gene expression through local protein synthesis. First discovered in oocytes and embryos, RNA localization is now recognized as a significant regulatory strategy for diverse RNAs, both coding and non-coding, in a wide range of cell types. Yet, the highly polarized cytoplasm of the oocyte remains a leading model to understand not only the principles and mechanisms underlying RNA localization, but also links to the formation of biomolecular condensates through phase separation. Here, we discuss both RNA localization and biomolecular condensates in oocytes with a particular focus on the oocyte of the frog, Xenopus laevis.
