Abstract excerpt
Null-mutation in Drosophila importin-alpha2, such as the deficiency imp-alpha2(D14), causes recessive female sterility with the formation of dumpless eggs. In imp-alpha2(D14) the transfer of nurse cell components to the oocyte is interrupted and the Kelch protein, an oligomeric ring canal actin organizer, is normally produced but fails to associate with the ring canals resulting in their occlusion. To define...
