Orb prevents autophagy in the <i>Drosophila</i> germline through translational repression of <i>Atg12</i> mRNA
2014-08-15
Abstract excerpt
Drosophila Orb, the homologue of vertebrate CPEB is a key translational regulator involved in oocyte polarity and maturation through poly(A) tail elongation of specific mRNAs. orb has also an essential function during early oogenesis which has not been addressed at the molecular level. Here, we show that orb prevents cell death during early stages of oogenesis, thus allowing oogenesis to progress. It does so thr...
