Transcriptional control of cell-cycle quiescence during C. elegans development.
During the development of the C. elegans reproductive system, cells that give rise to the vulva, the vulval precursor cells (VPCs), remain quiescent for two larval stages before resuming cell division in the third larval stage. We have identified several transcriptional regulators that contribute to this temporary cell-cycle arrest. Mutation of lin-1 or lin-31, two downstream targets of the Rec...
متن کاملVisualizing neuroblast cytokinesis during C. elegans embryogenesis.
This protocol describes the use of fluorescence microscopy to image dividing cells within developing Caenorhabditis elegans embryos. In particular, this protocol focuses on how to image dividing neuroblasts, which are found underneath the epidermal cells and may be important for epidermal morphogenesis. Tissue formation is crucial for metazoan development and relies on external cues from neighb...
متن کاملCell cycle regulation during early mouse embryogenesis.
Elaboration of a multicellular organism requires highly efficient coordination between proliferation and developmental processes. Accordingly, the embryonic cell cycle exhibits a high degree of plasticity; however, the mechanisms underlying its regulation in vivo remain largely unknown. The purpose of this review is to summarize the data on cell cycle regulation during the early mouse embryonic...
متن کاملSystematic analysis of pleiotropy during C. elegans early embryogenesis
Pleiotropy refers to the phenomenon of a single gene controlling multiple distinct and seemingly unrelated phenotypic effects. Pleiotropy reflects the fact that some genes in the genome perform multiple biological functions. Traditionally, loss-of-function phenotypes are examined for individual genes. The recent availability of high-throughput loss-of-function datasets may lead to the opportuni...
متن کاملFunctional Dissection of Caenorhabditis elegans CLK-2/TEL2 Cell Cycle Defects during Embryogenesis and Germline Development
CLK-2/TEL2 is essential for viability from yeasts to vertebrates, but its essential functions remain ill defined. CLK-2/TEL2 was initially implicated in telomere length regulation in budding yeast, but work in Caenorhabditis elegans has uncovered a function in DNA damage response signalling. Subsequently, DNA damage signalling defects associated with CLK-2/TEL2 have been confirmed in yeast and ...
