Translational Activation of Oskar mRNA: Reevaluation of the Role and Importance of a 5' Regulatory Element
Local translation of oskar (osk) mRNA at the posterior pole of the Drosophila oocyte is essential for axial patterning of the embryo, and is achieved by a program of translational repression, mRNA localization, and translational activation. Multiple forms of repression are used to prevent Oskar prot...
