Shoichi Nakamura, Seiji Hira et al. demonstrate that a truncated form of Mamo lacking the BTB/POZ domain (MamoAF) is a potent transcriptional activator of a germline gene vasa. This study suggests that MamoAF cooperates with transcriptional activators CBP and OvoB to regulate the development of germline cells.
