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 کاملFunctional characterization of SR and SR-related genes in Caenorhabditis elegans.
The SR proteins constitute a family of nuclear phosphoproteins, which are required for constitutive splicing and also influence alternative splicing regulation. Initially, it was suggested that SR proteins were functionally redundant in constitutive splicing. However, differences have been observed in alternative splicing regulation, suggesting unique functions for individual SR proteins. Homol...
متن کاملGenes required for osmoregulation and apical secretion in Caenorhabditis elegans.
Few studies have investigated whether or not there is an interdependence between osmoregulation and vesicular trafficking. We previously showed that in Caenorhabditis elegans che-14 mutations affect osmoregulation, cuticle secretion, and sensory organ development. We report the identification of seven lethal mutations displaying che-14-like phenotypes, which define four new genes, rdy-1-rdy-4 (...
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 کاملGenetic suppression of phenotypes arising from mutations in dystrophin-related genes in Caenorhabditis elegans
BACKGROUND Dystrophin is the product of the gene that is mutated in Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD), a progressive neuromuscular disease for which no treatment is available. Mice carrying a mutation in the gene for dystrophin (mdx mice) display only a mild phenotype, but it is aggravated when combined with a mutation in the MyoD gene. The nematode worm Caenorhabditis elegans has a dystrophin ...
