Orbit/CLASP is required for germline cyst formation through its developmental control of fusomes and ring canals in Drosophila males.

Orbit, a Drosophila ortholog of microtubule plus-end enriched protein CLASP, plays an important role in many developmental processes involved in microtubule dynamics. Previous studies have shown that Orbit is required for asymmetric stem cell division and cystocyte divisions in germline cysts and fo...
