Redundant RNA recognition events in bicoid mRNA localization.
RNA (New York, N.Y.) - 1 Dec 1997

Abstract excerpt
A cis-acting signal in the 3' UTR of the Drosophila bicoid mRNA directs both the transport of the mRNA from the nurse cells to the oocyte and its anterior localization within the oocyte. Here we demonstrate that the signal mediates redundant RNA recognition events, A and B, that initiate largely overlapping programs of mRNA localization during oogenesis. Recognition event A requires a region encompassing...
