| Description: A particularly significant target of dynein-mediated transport is gurken (grk) whose transcript localization is key to establishing the prospective body axes of the future embryo. grk mRNA localizes posteriorly in early oocytes and is translated during stage 5 into a transforming growth factor-a like protein that signals to overlying, somatic follicle cells to specify their posterior character. During this stage, the minus-ends of MTs are orientated predominantly toward the oocyte posterior. | |||
