CC -!- FUNCTION: Germ-line specific transcription factor implicated in
CC postnatal oocyte-specific gene expression. Plays a key regulatory role
CC in the expression of multiple oocyte-specific genes, including those
CC that initiate folliculogenesis and those that encode the zona pellucida
CC (ZP1, ZP2 and ZP3) required for fertilization and early embryonic
CC survival. Essential for oocytes to survive and form primordial
CC follicles. The persistence of FIGLA in adult females suggests that it
CC may regulate additional pathways that are essential for normal ovarian
CC development. Binds to the E-box (5'-CANNTG-3') of the ZPs (ZP1, ZP2,
CC ZP3) promoters. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:11023867}.
CC -!- SUBUNIT: Heterodimer with TCF3/isoform E12.
CC -!- SUBCELLULAR LOCATION: Nucleus {ECO:0000305}.
CC -!- TISSUE SPECIFICITY: Expressed only in the oocytes within the ovary and
CC at lower level in the testis. Found in the resting oocytes of the
CC primordial follicle cells, at the periphery of the ovary and in the
CC hilar region. Also detected in growing oocytes, but at lower levels.
CC -!- DEVELOPMENTAL STAGE: Detected as early as embryonic day 13, shortly
CC after the onset of sexual dimorphism of the gonads. Dramatically
CC increases at the end of the embryonic development and peaks at 2 dpp, a
CC time in ovarian development at which oocytes have become enclosed in
CC primordial follicles. Decreases markedly by 7 and 14 days after birth.
CC Persists, but at low level, in adult females. Not detected in male
CC embryos, but detected in adult testes. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:11023867}.
CC -!- DISRUPTION PHENOTYPE: Females display a defect in the formation of
CC primordial follicles leading to infertility. Although embryonic
CC gonadogenesis appeared normal, primordial follicles were not formed at
CC birth, and massive depletion of oocytes resulted in shrunken ovaries
CC and female sterility. Null females do not express ZP1, ZP2 or ZP3.
CC Since its expression is oocyte-specific in females, Figla is a
CC plausible candidate gene for primary ovarian failure in otherwise
CC phenotypically normal women. The gene for Figla null males have normal
CC fertility. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:11023867}.
