Cytoplasmic RNA localization is an evolutionarily ancient mechanism for producing cellular
asymmetries. This review considers RNA localization in the context of animal development …

Embryonic development in Drosophila melanogaster begins with a rapid series of mitotic
nuclear divisions, unaccompanied by cytokinesis, to produce a multi‐nucleated single cell …

Although subcellular mRNA trafficking has been demonstrated as a mechanism to control
protein distribution, it is generally believed that most protein localization occurs subsequent …

We show that female sterile mutations of aurora (aur) are allelic to mutations in the lethal
complementation group ck TM. This lies in a cytogenetic interval, 87A7-A9, that contains …

Neuroblast cells in larvae homozygous for mutant alleles of the locus polo show a high
frequency of metaphases in which the chromosomes have a circular arrangement, and …

In embryos of Drosophila melanogaster all the nuclei in the syncytial egg divide with global
synchrony during the first 13 mitotic cycles. But with cellularization in the 14th cycle, global …

We report the cDNA sequence and localization of a protein first identified by actin filament
chromatography of Drosophila embryo extracts as ABP8 (Miller, KG, CM Field, and BM …

EB1 is an evolutionarily conserved protein that localizes to the plus ends of growing
microtubules. In yeast, the EB1 homologue (BIM1) has been shown to modulate microtubule …

The string (sfg) locus of Drosophila encodes a factor that is thought to trigger mitosis by
activating the p34CdC2 protein kinase. stg is required for mitosis early in development and …

Inhibitor studies have implicated microtubules in at least three important developmental
processes during Drosophila oogenesis: oocyte determination and growth during stages 1 …
