The ORB2 RNA-binding protein negatively regulates its target transcripts during the Drosophila maternal-to-zygotic transition via its functionally conserved Zinc-binding "ZZ" domain.

Posttranscriptional regulation is particularly prominent during the maternal-to-zygotic transition (MZT), a developmental phase during which a large proportion of maternally provided mRNAs is repressed and cleared from metazoan embryos. RNA-binding proteins (RBPs) are key components of the posttrans...
