Drosophila PLUTONIUM protein is a specialized cell cycle regulator required at the onset of embryogenesis.

Molecular biology of the cell - 1 Apr 1997

Abstract excerpt

Unfertilized eggs and fertilized embryos from Drosophila mothers mutant for the plutonium (plu) gene contain giant polyploid nuclei resulting from unregulated S-phase. The PLU protein, a 19-kDa ankyrin repeat protein, is present in oocytes and early embryos but is not detectable after the complet...
