Drosophila valois encodes a divergent WD protein that is required for Vasa localization and Oskar protein accumulation.

Development (Cambridge, England) - 1 Feb 2005

Cavey Matthieu, Hijal Sirine, Zhang Xiaolan, Suter Beat

Abstract excerpt

valois (vls) was identified as a posterior group gene in the initial screens for Drosophila maternal-effect lethal mutations. Despite its early genetic identification, it has not been characterized at the molecular level until now. We show that vls encodes a divergent WD domain protein and that the three available EMS-induced point mutations cause premature stop codons in the vls ORF. We have generated a null...
