Abstract excerpt
The Drosophila melanogaster ovarian tumor (otu) gene, required for normal proliferation and differentiation of the female germ-line, encodes two cytoplasmic protein isoforms, 98 and 104 kDa. Mutants with defects in this gene are typically grouped into one of three phenotypic classes: quiescent (germ cells do not proliferate), oncogenic or tumorous (germ-line cells proliferate uncontrollably), and differentiated...
