    Developmental Genetics Program and the Department of Cell Biology, The Skirball Institute and Howard Hughes Medical Institute, NYU School of Medicine, 540 First Avenue, New York, NY 10016, USA
    Nat Cell Biol 6:427-35. 2004
    ..Our data provide a direct link between a molecule necessary for oocyte specification and the microtubule motor complex, and supports the hypothesis that microtubule-mediated transport is important for preserving oocyte fate...
  57. ncbi A spectraplakin is enriched on the fusome and organizes microtubules during oocyte specification in Drosophila
    Katja Röper
    Wellcome Trust Cancer Research UK Institute and Department of Anatomy, University of Cambridge, Tennis Court Road, Cambridge, CB2 1QR, United Kingdom
    Curr Biol 14:99-110. 2004
    ..The fusome is necessary for the microtubule-driven restriction of markers of oocyte fate to the oocyte, but the mechanism by which the fusome organizes the microtubules is not known...
  58. ncbi The p27cip/kip ortholog dacapo maintains the Drosophila oocyte in prophase of meiosis I

    Cell Biology and Metabolism Branch, National Institute of Child Health and Human Development, National Institutes of Health, Bethesda, MD 20892, USA
    Development 130:1235-42. 2003
    ..Our data indicate that it is through the differential regulation of the cki Dacapo that two modes of cell-cycle regulation are independently maintained within the common cytoplasm of ovarian cysts...
  59. ncbi Maelstrom, a Drosophila spindle-class gene, encodes a protein that colocalizes with Vasa and RDE1/AGO1 homolog, Aubergine, in nuage
    Seth D Findley
    Department of Biochemistry, Box 357350, University of Washington, Seattle, WA 98195 7350, USA
    Development 130:859-71. 2003
    ..Furthermore, maelstrom mutant ovaries show mislocalization of two proteins involved in the microRNA and/or RNAi pathways, Dicer and Argonaute2, suggesting a potential connection between nuage and the microRNA-pathway...
  60. ncbi [CG17604 gene from Drosophila melanogaster--possible functional homolog of the yeast ZIP1 and SCP1 (SYCP1) mammalian genes, coding for synaptonemal complex proteins]
    Iu F Bogdanov
    Vavilov Institute of General Genetics, Russian Academy of Sciences, Moscow, 119991 Russia
    Genetika 38:108-12. 2002
    ..the locus of this gene (sections 88E-89B) and containing 78 predicted genes has revealed only one gene, CG17604, whose protein meets all requirements for the transverse filament protein of the SC...
  61. ncbi The isolation of a mutation causing abnormal cytokinesis in male and split chromocenter in female meiosis in Drosophila melanogaster
    S Fedorova
    Institute Cytology and Genetics, Novosibirsk, Russia
    Hereditas 134:125-34. 2001
    ..The cases of the spindle fragmentation revealed the processes acting in female meiotic metaphase. Premeiotic and mitotic defects of the mutation have also been detected...
  62. ncbi mei-41 is required for precocious anaphase in Drosophila females
    K S McKim
    Section of Molecular and Cellular Biology, University of California at Davis, 95616, USA
    Chromosoma 109:44-9. 2000
    ..The effect of mei-41 is dependent on double-strand break formation. Thus, in mutants that fail to initiate meiotic recombination the absence of mei-41 has no effect...
  63. ncbi missing oocyte encodes a highly conserved nuclear protein required for the maintenance of the meiotic cycle and oocyte identity in Drosophila
    Takako Iida
    Cell Biology and Metabolism Branch, National Institute of Child Health and Human Development, National Institutes of Health, Bethesda, MD 20892, USA
    Development 131:1029-39. 2004
    ..Our data strongly suggest that the product of the missing oocyte gene acts in the oocyte nucleus to facilitate the execution of the unique cell cycle and developmental programs that produce the mature haploid gamete...
