Translational activation of oskar mRNA: reevaluation of the role and importance of a 5' regulatory element [corrected].

Local translation of oskar (osk) mRNA at the posterior pole of the Drosophila oocyte is essential for axial patterning of the embryo, and is achieved by a program of translational repression, mRNA localization, and translational activation.
