Abstract:
In Drosophila, the posterior localization of oskar mRNA and its translational regulation are essential for axis specification and germline formation. Recently in Cell, demonstrated that Bruno inhibits cap-dependent translation of oskar mRNA and uncovered a novel Bruno-dependent assembly of oskar mRNA into multimeric RNP particles, which are inaccessible to the translational machinery. This work provides a novel link between mRNA localization, particle formation, and translational regulation.

Punishment
Punishment can be positive or negative. Positive punishment involves adding an undesirable stimulus, such as scolding, to decrease a behavior. Negative punishment involves removing a desirable stimulus, such as taking away a favorite toy, to decrease behavior.
