Abstract excerpt
The Drosophila exuperantia gene (exu) functions in both oogenesis and spermatogenesis. Alternative RNA processing and promoter usage generates sex-specific transcripts which differ in their 5' and 3' untranslated regions, but encode the same predicted protein. We have sequenced the breakpoints of an exu allele which is defective in spermatogenesis but functions normally in oogenesis. This allele deletes most of...
