A fatty acid anabolic pathway in specialized-cells sustains a remote signal that controls egg activation in Drosophila.

A fatty acid anabolic pathway in specialized-cells sustains a remote signal that controls egg activation in Drosophila.

Egg activation, representing the critical oocyte-to-embryo transition, provokes meiosis completion, modification of the vitelline membrane to prevent polyspermy, and translation of maternally provided mRNAs. This transition is triggered by a calcium signal induced by spermatozoon fertilization in mo...
