The polarisation of the anterior-posterior and dorsal-ventral axes during Drosophila oogenesis.

Current opinion in genetics & development - 1 Aug 1999

van Eeden F, St Johnston D

Abstract excerpt

Recent work on Drosophila oogenesis has begun to reveal how the first asymmetries in development arise and how these relate to the later events that localise the positional cues which define the embryonic axes. The Cadherin-dependent positioning of the oocyte creates an anterior-posterior polarity that is transmitted to the embryo through the localisation and localised translation of bicoid, oskar, and nanos...
