A functional antagonism between the pgc germline repressor and torso in the development of somatic cells.

EMBO reports - 1 Sept 2009

de Las Heras José Manuel, Martinho Rui Gonçalo, Lehmann Ruth, Casanova Jordi

Abstract excerpt

Segregation of the germline is a fundamental event during early development. In Drosophila, germ cells are specified at the posterior pole of the embryo by the germplasm. As zygotic expression is activated, germ cells remain transcriptionally silent owing to the polar granule component (Pgc), a small peptide present in germ cells. Somatic cells at both the embryonic ends are specified by the torso (Tor) receptor...
