Abstract excerpt
The nudel gene is maternally required to define dorsoventral polarity of the Drosophila embryo. It encodes an unusual mosaic protein with a protease domain that may trigger the protease cascade required for ventral development. We describe phenotypic and molecular analyses of nudel mutations that...
