A rapidly evolving actin mediates fertility and developmental tradeoffs in <i>Drosophila</i>

2020-09-28

Abstract excerpt

Most actin-related proteins (Arps) are highly conserved in eukaryotes, where they carry out well-defined cellular functions. Drosophila and mammals also encode divergent non-canonical Arps in their male-germline whose roles remain unknown. Here, we show that Arp53D, a rapidly-evolving Drosophila Arp, localizes to fusomes and actin cones, two male germline-specific actin structures critical for sperm maturation,...
