Oocyte and embryonic cytoskeletal defects caused by mutations in the Drosophila swallow gene.

Development genes and evolution - 1 Jun 2002

Meng Jing, Stephenson Edwin C

Abstract excerpt

The maternal effect gene swallow ( swa) of Drosophila is required for bicoid and htsN4 mRNA localization during oogenesis. Swallow is also required for additional, poorly understood, functions in early embryogenesis. We have examined the cytoskeleton in swa mutant oocytes and embryos by immunocytochemistry and confocal microscopy. Mid- and late-stage swaoocytes have defective cytoplasmic actin networks. Stage-10...
