Transient posterior localization of a kinesin fusion protein reflects anteroposterior polarity of the Drosophila oocyte.

Current biology : CB - 1 Apr 1994

Abstract excerpt

BACKGROUND: During oogenesis in Drosophila, determinants that will dictate abdomen and germline formation are localized to the 'polar plasm' in the posterior of the oocyte. Assembly of the polar plasm involves the sequential localization of several messenger RNAs and proteins to the posterior of the oocyte, beginning with the localization of oskar mRNA and Staufen protein during stages 8 and 9 of oogenesis. The...
