Slow as molasses is required for polarized membrane growth and germ cell migration in Drosophila.

Development (Cambridge, England) - 1 Aug 2002

Stein Jennifer A, Broihier Heather Tarczy, Moore Lisa A, Lehmann Ruth

Abstract excerpt

Drosophila germ cell migration is directed by attractive and repulsive guidance cues. We have identified a novel gene, slow as molasses (slam), which is required for germ cell migration. In slam zygotic mutants, germ cells fail to transit off the midgut into the mesoderm. We show that slam is required at this stage in parallel to HMG Coenzyme A reductase, a previously identified germ cell migration gene. Removal...
