A spectraplakin is enriched on the fusome and organizes microtubules during oocyte specification in Drosophila.

Current biology : CB - 20 Jan 2004

Röper Katja, Brown Nicholas H

Abstract excerpt

BACKGROUND: During Drosophila oogenesis a membranous organelle called the fusome has a key function in the establishment of oocyte fate and polarity, ultimately leading to the establishment of the major body axes of the animal. The fusome is necessary for the microtubule-driven restriction of markers of oocyte fate to the oocyte, but the mechanism by which the fusome organizes the microtubules is not known....
