          tsu is required in the germline for the localisation of germ cell determinants and axis formation during oogenesis.
          mago and tsu are required for cell viability.
          hide Comments About Molecular Function
          The mago/tsu physical interaction is conserved, occurs in vitro and in vivo and is not RNA mediated. mago and tsu gene products localize within nuclear speckles. mago/tsu heterodimers associate with spliced mRNAs carrying an exon-exon junction complex.
          hide Other Comments
          Identification: in a yeast two hybrid screen for proteins that bind mago protein. Etymology: gene is named "tsunagi", which is Japanese for "connection" or "link".
