move from the oocyte to the follicle cells in process that does not require endocytosis
Title: Germline and somatic vitelline proteins colocalize in aggregates in the follicular epithelium of Drosophila ovaries.
closca is a gene encoding a new member of a group of proteins that act non-redundantly in vitelline membrane biogenesis and in Torso signalling; Nasrat protein is another member of this group incorporated into the vitelline membrane
Title: closca, a new gene required for both Torso RTK activation and vitelline membrane integrity. Germline proteins contribute to Drosophila eggshell composition.
Nasrat and Polehole are essential for extracellular accumulation of Torso-like, a factor secreted during oogenesis that initiates Torso receptor activation
Title: Cell surface proteins Nasrat and Polehole stabilize the Torso-like extracellular determinant in Drosophila oogenesis.
Required for cross-linkage of the vitelline membrane.
Title: Drosophila vitelline membrane cross-linking requires the fs(1)Nasrat, fs(1)polehole and chorion genes activities.
