Abstract

) is essential for GSC self-renewal. We find that SRPK is expressed in GSCs and their mitotically-dividing daughters, but is not necessary for GSC establishment or maintenance. We conclude that SRPK is dispensable for GSC self-renewal, and postulate that other protein kinases can compensate for its absence.
