Abstract 2638 Characterization of Phosducin-like Protein 3 in Drosophila melanogaster Gametogenesis
Gametogenesis is a critical biological process to all life on earth. Identifying and characterizing the proteins essential to gametogenesis presents an opportunity for exploring the mechanisms controlling cellular development. One such protein, Phosducin-like protein 3 (PhLP3) has been identified by our lab as critical to maintaining fertility in both male and female D. melanogaster. PhLP3 may function as part of a co-chaperone in the folding of actin and tubulin in the chaperone containing tailless (CCT) complex.
