Evidence that Tor signaling regulates terminal patterning by inactivating Cic at the embryo poles is presented, suggesting that Cic-like proteins may act as repressors regulated by RTK signaling in other organisms.

The targeting of oskar activity to the posterior pole involves two steps of spatial restriction, cytoskeleton-dependent localization of the mRNA and localization-dependent translation, and it is demonstrated that two isoforms of Oskar protein are produced by alternative start codon usage.

There are changes in the reactivity of guanine residues to dimethyl sulfate within the enhancer sequence in myeloma, B, and early B cells, whereas virtually no alterations appear in cells of non-B lineage.
Splicing of oskar RNA in the nucleus is coupled to its cytoplasmic localization

It is shown that splicing at the first exon–exon junction of oskar RNA is essential for oskarsar mRNA localization at the posterior pole and that the localization of unrelated transcripts bearing the oSkar 3′UTR is mediated by endogenous oskara mRNA, revealing an important new function for splicing.
