The terminal differentiation factor LIN-29 is required for proper vulval morphogenesis and egg laying in Caenorhabditis elegans.
Caenorhabditis elegans vulval development culminates during exit from the L4-to-adult molt with the formation of an opening through the adult hypodermis and cuticle that is used for egg laying and mating. Vulva formation requires the heterochronic gene lin-29, which triggers hypodermal cell terminal differentiation during the final molt. lin-29 mutants are unable to lay eggs or mate because no ...
متن کاملThe lin-11 LIM domain transcription factor is necessary for morphogenesis of C. elegans uterine cells.
The Caenorhabditis elegans hermaphrodite egg-laying system comprises several tissues, including the uterus and vulva. lin-11 encodes a LIM domain transcription factor needed for certain vulval precursor cells to divide asymmetrically. Based on lin-11 expression studies and the lin-11 mutant phenotype, we find that lin-11 is also required for C. elegans uterine morphogenesis. Specifically, lin-1...
متن کاملThe transcription factor HNF3beta is required in visceral endoderm for normal primitive streak morphogenesis.
During early embryogenesis, the transcription factor HNF3beta is expressed in visceral and definitive endoderm, node, notochord and floorplate. A targeted mutation in the HNF3&bgr ; gene results in the lack of a definitive node and notochord. Furthermore, lack of HNF3beta results in failure of proper primitive streak elongation. To address whether HNF3beta is required in visceral endoderm, we h...

متن کاملCited2 is required for the proper formation of the hyaloid vasculature and for lens morphogenesis.
Cited2 is a transcriptional modulator with pivotal roles in different biological processes. Cited2-deficient mouse embryos manifested two major defects in the developing eye. An abnormal corneal-lenticular stalk was characteristic of Cited2(-/-) developing eyes, a feature reminiscent of Peters' anomaly, which can be rescued by increased Pax6 gene dosage in Cited2(-/-) embryonic eyes. In additio...
