The three dominant female-sterile mutations of the Drosophila ovo gene are point mutations that create new translation-initiator AUG codons

The Drosophila ovo gene, which encodes a putative transcription factor (Ovo) with TFIIIA-like zinc fingers, is required for female germline survival and proper oogenesis. Three dominant female-sterile ovoD mutations cause ovarian abnormalities that define an allelic series, with ovoD1 displaying the...
