Drosophila Syncrip binds the gurken mRNA localisation signal and regulates localised transcripts during axis specification.
In the Drosophila oocyte, mRNA transport and localised translation play a fundamental role in axis determination and germline formation of the future embryo. gurken mRNA encodes a secreted TGF-α signal that specifies dorsal structures, and is localised to the dorso-anterior corner of the oocyte via...
