Drosophila melanogaster male somatic cells feminized solely by TraF can collaborate with female germ cells to make functional eggs.

Genetics - 1 Feb 2007

Evans Daniel S, Cline Thomas W

Abstract excerpt

Female differentiation of Drosophila germ cells is induced by cell-nonautonomous signals generated in the gonadal soma that work with germ-cell-autonomous signals determined by germ-cell X chromosome dose. Generation of the nonautonomous feminizing signals was known to involve female-specific protein encoded by the master sex-determination gene Sex-lethal (Sxl) acting on its switch-gene target transformer (tra)...
