Targeting and anchoring Tudor in the pole plasm of the Drosophila oocyte.

PloS one - 15 Dec 2010

Anne Joël

Abstract excerpt

BACKGROUND: Germline formation is a highly regulated process in all organisms. In Drosophila embryos germ cells are specified by the pole plasm, a specialized cytoplasmic region containing polar granules. Components of these granules are also present in the perinuclear ring surrounding nurse cells, the nuage. Two such molecules are the Vasa and Tudor proteins. How Tudor localizes and is maintained in the pole...
