Nematodes join the family of chondroitin sulfate-synthesizing organisms: Identification of an active chondroitin sulfotransferase in Caenorhabditis elegans
Proteoglycans are proteins that carry sulfated glycosaminoglycans (GAGs). They help form and maintain morphogen gradients, guiding cell migration and differentiation during animal development. While no sulfated GAGs have been found in marine sponges, chondroitin sulfate (CS) and heparan sulfate (HS) have been identified in Cnidarians, Lophotrocozoans and Ecdysozoans. The general view that nemat...
متن کاملRab11 is required for synchronous secretion of chondroitin proteoglycans after fertilization in Caenorhabditis elegans.
We previously identified a novel type of caveolin-enriched secretory vesicle in Caenorhabditis elegans oocytes. These vesicles undergo synchronous fusion with the plasma membrane immediately after fertilization, suggesting that they could be cortical granules that have been described in diverse animal species. Here, we report that these vesicles are indeed cortical granules, delivering essentia...
متن کاملNeurogenetics, in Caenorhabditis elegans
The human brain is an extraordinarily complex and beautiful organ. It has one hundred billion neurons and an inestimable number of synaptic connections. Since there are very few opportunities to ethically test experimental hypotheses on the human brain, we rely on model organisms to understand how neurons work in humans. Such an organism, the nematode Caenorhabditis elegans, with a total of onl...

متن کاملCaenorhabditis elegans
The complete structure of the anterior sensory nervous system of the small nematode C . elegans has been determined by reconstruction from serial section electronmicrographs. There are 58 neurons in the tip of the head. Fiftytwo of these are arranged in sensilla. These include six inner labial sensilla, six outer labial sensilla, four cephalic sensilla and two amphids. Each sensillum consists o...
