Abstract
Localization of bicoid messenger RNA to the anterior cortex of the developi
ng oocyte is essential for correct anterior-posterior patterning of the Dro
sophila embryo. It now seems that, the Swallow protein functions as an adap
tor, bridging bicoid mRNA to dynein, a molecular motor that would transport
the complex anteriorly along microtubules.
