A role for vasa in regulating mitotic chromosome condensation in Drosophila.

Current biology : CB - 11 Jan 2011

Pek Jun Wei, Kai Toshie

Abstract excerpt

Vasa (Vas) is a conserved DEAD-box RNA helicase expressed in germline cells that localizes to a characteristic perinuclear structure called nuage. Previous studies have shown that Vas has diverse functions, with roles in regulating mRNA translation, germline differentiation, pole plasm assembly, and piwi-interacting RNA (piRNA)-mediated transposon silencing. Although vas has also been implicated in the regulation...
