Correct microtubule organization and function are fundamental to many aspects of cellular development, including oogenesis (the formation of eggs), a process known to require microtubule organizing centers (MTOCs), a component of which is γ-tubulin—a protein known to be involved in microtubule nucleation. In
Tavosanis and Gonzalez created flies homozygous for severe mutant alleles of each of the two
