<i>Drosophila</i> ribosomal protein S5b is essential for oogenesis and interacts with distinct RNAs
2019-04-06
Abstract excerpt
In Drosophila melanogaster there are two genes encoding ribosomal protein S5, RpS5a and RpS5b. Here, we demonstrate that RpS5b is required for oogenesis. Females lacking RpS5b produce ovaries with numerous developmental defects that undergo widespread apoptosis in mid-oogenesis. Females lacking germline RpS5a are fully fertile, but germline expression of interfering RNA targeting germline RpS5a in an RpS5b...
