The nurse cells in insect ovarioles supply the developing oocytes with various cellular components, including mRNAs, which pass from one cell to the other through intercellular bridges traversed by microtubules. Best studied of these mRNAs are those that encode the axis-determining factors in Drosophila embryos. These mRNAs are further translocated and localized within the oocyte to sites where the products of their translation will ultimately function. This article explores the evidence supportive of a role for microtubules and motor proteins in these processes.
