A face-off between Smaug and Caspar modulates primordial germ cell count and identity in Drosophila embryos by Girish Deshpande, Subhradip Das, Adheena Elsa Roy, Girish S Ratnaparkhi

“…Prior work has shown that Oskar protein is necessary and sufficient to assemble the functional germ plasm, whereas centrosomes associated with the nuclei that invade the germ plasm are responsible for its equitable distribution. Our recent data suggests that Caspar, the Drosophila orthologue of human Fas-associated factor-1 (FAF1) is a novel regulator that modulates both mechanisms that underlie the determination of PGC fate. …”
