Wispy, the Drosophila homolog of GLD-2, is required during oogenesis and egg activation.

Genetics - 1 Apr 2008

Cui Jun, Sackton Katharine L, Horner Vanessa L, Kumar Kritika E, Wolfner Mariana F

Abstract excerpt

Egg activation is the process that modifies mature, arrested oocytes so that embryo development can proceed. One key aspect of egg activation is the cytoplasmic polyadenylation of certain maternal mRNAs to permit or enhance their translation. wispy (wisp) maternal-effect mutations in Drosophila block development during the egg-to-embryo transition. We show here that the wisp gene encodes a member of the GLD-2...
