High impact information on qua

  • Drosophila Quail protein is required for the completion of fast cytoplasm transport from nurse cells to the oocyte, an event critical for the production of viable oocytes [1].
  • Since mutations which alter phytochrome activity cluster within the region delimited by these direct repeats (P.H. Quail et al., Science 268 (1995): 675-680), this conserved motif may play an important role in the signal transducing function of these disparate protein families [2].
