Abstract excerpt
A critical step in Drosophila dorsoventral patterning is the movement of gurken mRNA from the anterior cortex of the oocyte to the oocyte's anterodorsal corner at stage 8 of oogenesis. Such movement is dependent on fs(1)K10. It has been proposed that fs(1)K10 mediates gurken mRNA movement by down-regulating gurken mRNA levels, thus ensuring that gurken mRNA does not saturate its receptors located in the oocyte's...
