Premature translation of oskar in oocytes lacking the RNA-binding protein bicaudal-C.

Abstract excerpt

Bicaudal-C (Bic-C) is required during Drosophila melanogaster oogenesis for several processes, including anterior-posterior patterning. The gene encodes a protein with five copies of the KH domain, a motif found in a number of RNA-binding proteins. Using antibodies raised against the BIC-C protein, we show that multiple isoforms of the protein exist in ovaries and that the protein, like the RNA, accumulates in...
