Abstract excerpt
Bicaudal C and trailer hitch are both required for dorsoventral patterning of the Drosophila oocyte. Each mutant produces ventralized eggs, a phenotype typically associated with failure of the oocyte to provide a dorsalization signal--the Gurken protein--to the follicle cells. Bicaudal C and trailer hitch are both implicated in post-transcriptional gene regulation. Bicaudal C acts in recruiting a deadenylase to...
