Caenorhabditis elegans par genes
What are they? Six par genes (par-1 through par-6) have been identified in Caenorhabditis elegans. Loss-of-function mutations in any par locus results in loss of anterior–posterior (AP) asymmetries during the first two embryonic cell divisions. This results in a failure to restrict developmental regulators to specific embryonic cells, mitotic spindle orientation defects and abnormal cell fate p...
متن کاملGenes that regulate both development and longevity in Caenorhabditis elegans.
The nematode Caenorhabditis elegans responds to conditions of overcrowding and limited food by arresting development as a dauer larva. Genetic analysis of mutations that alter dauer larva formation (daf mutations) is presented along with an updated genetic pathway for dauer vs. nondauer development. Mutations in the daf-2 and daf-23 genes double adult life span, whereas mutations in four other ...
متن کاملevidence suggesting that fasciola gigantica might be the most prevalent causal agent of fascioliasis in northern iran
following the occurrence of two large outbreaks in gilan province, northern iran, the public health importance of human fascioliasis has increased significantly. the mixed infections of fasciola gigantica and f. hepatica within a given domestic animal individual suggest a very complicate picture of possible circulation ways of the parasite and the possibility for humans to be infected with both...
متن کاملEvidence Suggesting That Discontinuous Dosing of ALK Kinase Inhibitors May Prolong Control of ALK+ Tumors.
The anaplastic lymphoma kinase (ALK) is chromosomally rearranged in a subset of certain cancers, including 2% to 7% of non-small cell lung cancers (NSCLC) and ∼70% of anaplastic large cell lymphomas (ALCL). The ALK kinase inhibitors crizotinib and ceritinib are approved for relapsed ALK(+) NSCLC, but acquired resistance to these drugs limits median progression-free survival on average to ∼10 mo...
متن کاملIdentification of genes that regulate a left-right asymmetric neuronal migration in Caenorhabditis elegans.
In C. elegans, cells of the QL and QR neuroblast lineages migrate with left-right asymmetry; QL and its descendants migrate posteriorly whereas QR and its descendants migrate anteriorly. One key step in generating this asymmetry is the expression of the Hox gene mab-5 in the QL descendants but not in the QR descendants. This asymmetry appears to be coupled to the asymmetric polarizations and mo...
