چکیده
InDrosophila melanogaster, the anteroposterior (AP) and dorsoventral (DV) axes of the oocyte and future embryo are established through the localization and translational regulation of gurken (grk) mRNA. This process involves binding of specific factors to the RNA during transport and a dynamic remodeling of the grk-containing ribonucleoprotein (RNP) complexes once they have reached their destination within the oocyte. In ovaries of spindle-class females, an activated DNA damage checkpoint causes inefficient Grk translation and ventralization of the oocyte. In a screen for modifiers of the oocyte DV patterning defects, we identified a mutation in the eIF1A gene as a dominant suppressor. We show that reducing the function of eIF1A in spnB ovaries suppresses the ventralized eggshell phenotype by restoring Grk expression. This suppression is not the result of more efficient DNA damage repair or of disrupted checkpoint activation, but is coupled to an increase in the amount of grkmRNA associated with polysomes. In spnB ovaries, the activated meiotic checkpoint blocks Grk translation by disrupting the accumulation of grk mRNA in a translationally competent RNP complex that contains the translational activator Oo18 RNA-binding protein (Orb); this regulation involves the translational repressor Squid (Sqd). We further propose that reduction of eIF1A allows more efficient Grk translation possibly because of the presence of specific structural features in the grk 5′UTR.

Lsr0602+3910 – Discovery of a Bright Nearby L-type Brown Dwarf
We report the discovery of LSR0602+3910, an L dwarf of class L1. The object was initially identified by Lépine et al. (2002) as a new high proper motion star lying close to the Galactic plane. Its 2MASS J − Ks = 1.43 is consistent with an L dwarf, which we now confirm spectroscopically. In addition, we see a signature of Li I absorption, making LSR0602+3910 a brown dwarf, one of the brightest k...

The Fate of Merger Remnants
Using published luminosity and molecular gas profiles of the merger remnants NGC 3921, NGC 7252 and Arp 220, we examine the expected morphological and kinematic structure of the resulting merger remnants, especially in light of the massive CO complexes that are observed in their nuclei. For NGC 3921 and NGC 7252 we find that even under the most optimistic estimates (normal IMF, no mass ejection...
متن کاملLanguage Identification in Code-Switching Scenario
This paper describes a CRF based token level language identification system entry to Language Identification in CodeSwitched (CS) Data task of CodeSwitch 2014. Our system hinges on using conditional posterior probabilities for the individual codes (words) in code-switched data to solve the language identification task. We also experiment with other linguistically motivated language specific as ...
