In vivo mapping of the functional regions of the DEAD-box helicase Vasa

In vivo mapping of the functional regions of the DEAD-box helicase Vasa

The maternally expressed Drosophila melanogaster DEAD-box helicase Vasa (Vas) is necessary for many cellular and developmental processes, including specification of primordial germ cells (pole cells), posterior patterning of the embryo, piRNA-mediated repression of transposon-encoded mRNAs, translat...
