Gajewski K M, Schulz R A
Abstract excerpt
The D-elg gene encodes an ETS domain transcription factor that functions in Drosophila oogenesis. D-elg belongs to a small group of genes that are required for the formation of both the anteroposterior and dorsoventral axes of the egg chamber. During oogenesis in D-elg mutant females, the spatial localization of oskar and gurken mRNAs in the oocyte is disrupted and a follicle cell enhancer trap marker identifies...
