A functionally specialized alpha-tubulin is required for oocyte meiosis and cleavage mitoses in Drosophila.

Development (Cambridge, England) - 1 Mar 1993

Matthews K A, Rees D, Kaufman T C

Abstract excerpt

Three alpha-tubulin proteins contribute to microtubules during oogenesis and early embryogenesis in Drosophila melanogaster: alpha TUB84B, alpha TUB84D, and alpha TUB67C. alpha TUB67C is unique in two respects. It is a structurally divergent alpha-tubulin, sharing only 67% amino acid identity with the generic isotypes alpha TUB84B and alpha TUB84D, and its expression is exclusively maternal. The genetic analysis...
