{c}
A developmental translational regulator important in germ-cell development and, in some contexts, posterior body patterning.
Its interactions with RNA-binding partners can repress <biological translation> or promote removal of selected messages. This permits different <protein> output from <cells> that inherited similar <RNA> supplies, connecting <post-transcriptional regulation> to embryonic patterning. <RNA regulatory elements mediate control of Drosophila body pattern by the posterior morphogen nanos by Robin P. Wharton and Gary Struhl>[1991, translational control through RNA regulatory elements]{ref}
