The RNA-binding protein Squid is required for the establishment of anteroposterior polarity in the Drosophila oocyte.

Development (Cambridge, England) - 1 Dec 2005

Steinhauer Josefa, Kalderon Daniel

Abstract excerpt

The heterogeneous nuclear ribonucleoprotein (hnRNP) Squid (Sqd) is a highly abundant protein that is expected to bind most cellular RNAs. Nonetheless, Sqd plays a very specific developmental role in dorsoventral (DV) axis formation during Drosophila oogenesis by localizing gurken (grk) RNA. Here, we report that Sqd is also essential for anteroposterior (AP) axis formation. We identified sqd in a screen for...
