Combinatorial control of touch receptor neuron expression in <i>Caenorhabditis elegans</i>
ABSTRACT Six touch receptor neurons with distinctive morphological features sense gentle touch in Caenorhabditis elegans. Previous studies have identified three genes (lin-32, u...
mec-7 is a beta-tubulin gene required for the production of 15-protofilament microtubules in Caenorhabditis elegans.
In the nematode Caenorhabditis elegans, microtubules with 15 protofilaments are a specialized feature of six touch-receptor neurons; microtubules found in other C. elegans neuro...
Genetic pathways that regulate ageing in model organisms
Searches for genes involved in the ageing process have been made in genetically tractable model organisms such as yeast, the nematode Caenorhabditis elegans, Drosophila melanoga...
A transmembrane domain of the putative channel subunit MEC-4 influences mechanotransduction and neurodegeneration in C. elegans
Aberrant ion channel activity plays a causative role in several human disorders. Inappropriately regulated channel activity also appears to be the basis for neurodegeneration in...
The C. elegans heterochronic gene lin-4 encodes small RNAs with antisense complementarity to lin-14
lin-4 is essential for the normal temporal control of diverse postembryonic developmental events in C. elegans. lin-4 acts by negatively regulating the level of LIN-14 protein, ...
