Essential role for gamma-tubulin in the acentriolar female meiotic spindle of Drosophila.

The EMBO journal - 15 Apr 1997

Tavosanis G, Llamazares S, Goulielmos G, Gonzalez C

Abstract excerpt

Microtubule nucleation in vivo requires gamma-tubulin, a highly conserved component of microtubule-organizing centers. In Drosophila melanogaster there are two gamma-tubulin genes, gammaTUB23C and gammaTUB37C. Here we report the cytological and molecular characterization of the 37C isoform. By Western blotting, this protein can only be detected in ovaries and embryos. Antibodies against this isoform predominantly...
