cut interacts with Notch and protein kinase A to regulate egg chamber formation and to maintain germline cyst integrity during Drosophila oogenesis.

Abstract excerpt

Communications between the germline and the soma during Drosophila oogenesis have been previously shown to be essential for the formation of egg chambers and to establish polarity in the developing oocyte. In this report, we demonstrate that the function of a somatically expressed gene, cut, is critical for maintaining the structural integrity of germline-derived cells and their arrangement within an egg chamber....
