Abstract excerpt
AUBERGINE (AUB) is a member of the PPD family of proteins. These proteins are implicated in RNA interference. In this article we demonstrate that the expression of the aub gene and protein increase in aub(sting) mutants. We used a genetic method to test whether aub(sting) overexpression could interfere with proper functioning of the process of RNA interference in somatic tissues of Drosophila melanogaster. This...
