Pseudouridine-dependent ribosome biogenesis regulates translation of polyglutamine proteins during Drosophila oogenesis

The paper shows that pseudouridylation of rRNA is required for ribosome biogenesis and oocyte specification in Drosophila, with effects on translation of polyglutamine proteins during differentiation.

Oo-site: A dashboard to visualize gene expression during Drosophila oogenesis reveals meiotic entry is regulated post-transcriptionally

Oo-site visualizes gene expression and translational data during Drosophila oogenesis, revealing meiotic genes are regulated post-transcriptionally.

MSL3 coordinates a transcriptional and translational meiotic program in female Drosophila

This study identifies MSL3 as a master regulator coordinating transcription and translation during meiosis in female Drosophila and shows its conserved role in mouse spermatogenesis.

A feedback loop between heterochromatin and the nucleopore complex controls germ-cell to oocyte transition during Drosophila oogenesis

A translation control module coordinates germline stem cell differentiation with ribosome biogenesis during Drosophila oogenesis

The paper identifies a translation control module involving RNA helicases that links ribosome biogenesis to germline stem cell differentiation in Drosophila.

Sequential regulation of maternal mRNAs through a conserved cis-acting element in their 3’UTRs

The paper identifies a conserved 10-nucleotide sequence in maternal mRNAs that is bound by different RNA-binding proteins at different stages of oogenesis to regulate translation.
