Making worm guts: the gene regulatory network of the Caenorhabditis elegans endoderm.
The nematode Caenorhabditis elegans is a triploblastic ecdysozoan, which, although it contains too few cells during embryogenesis to create discernible germ "layers," deploys similar programs for germ layer differentiation used in animals with many more cells. The endoderm arises from a single progenitor, the E cell, and is selected from among three possible fates by a three-state combinatorial...
متن کاملLove the One You're with: Vertebrate Guts Shape Their Microbiota
Using germ-free animals, Rawls et al. (2006) reveal that the gut of a given host can be colonized by the microbiota of another vertebrate. Remarkably, the recipient host then shapes the composition of the non-native microbiota to more closely resemble that of its native consortium.
متن کاملThe worm has turned--microbial virulence modeled in Caenorhabditis elegans.
The nematode Caenorhabditis elegans is emerging as a facile and economical model host for the study of evolutionarily conserved mechanisms of microbial pathogenesis and innate immunity. A rapidly growing number of human and animal microbial pathogens have been shown to injure and kill nematodes. In many cases, microbial genes known to be important for full virulence in mammalian models have bee...
متن کاملThe world of a worm: a framework for Caenorhabditis evolution
Introduction Many aspects of Caenorhabditis elegans biology are known in exquisite detail: all somatic cell divisions that occur from zygote to adult have been described, the synaptic connections made by all neurons have been reconstructed, the entire genome has been sequenced and the function of most predicted genes has been tested by forward-genetic screens, targeted gene-specific deletions, ...
متن کاملAge-specific nuclear proteins in the nematode worm Caenorhabditis elegans.
The nematode worm Caenorhabditis elegans is known to undergo characteristic morphological as well as physiological signs of senescence. Two-dimensional gel electrophoresis shows that alterations also occur in the pattern of the nuclear proteins as a function of age. Non-histone proteins whose level exhibits a steep fall with age are egg-specific and not involved in senescence. However, a distin...
