Posterior development in flies requires precise spatial regulation of Oskar translation. A recent report shows that Bruno controls Oskar translation by mediating the formation of large inert ribonucleoprotein particles that contain multiple copies of oskar messenger RNA. This work defines a new silencing mechanism and suggests a link between oskar translation control and localization.
