Significance Previous studies have demonstrated that Bam protein plays a critical role promoting early germ-line cell differentiation in the Drosophila ovary. Although its regulation and genetic functions have been extensively investigated over the last 20 years, the biochemical nature of Bam has still remained elusive. Here, we show that Bam functions as an ubiquitin-associated protein and regulates the stability of CycA. Our study uncovers a mechanism by which Bam functions as an ubiquitin-associated protein, and cooperates with Otu to deubiquitinate and stabilize CycA, thereby balancing GSC self-renewal and differentiation.
