Tubulins in C. elegans [PDF]

WormBook, 2018
The C. elegans tubulin family is composed of nine α-, six β-, and one γ-tubulin. Tubulins are highly conserved, functioning as α-β heterodimers that assemble into microtubules.

Dynamic response by commensal E. coli two-component system Cpx contributes to C. elegans development [PDF]

BMC Biology
Background The Caenorhabditis elegans–Escherichia coli system is advantageous for studying host-microbe interactions at the single-gene level. By screening with this system, we identified that the deletion of cpxR, an E. coli transcription factor for the

BAP1 Malignant Pleural Mesothelioma Mutations in Caenorhabditis elegans Reveal Synthetic Lethality between ubh-4/BAP1 and the Proteasome Subunit rpn-9/PSMD13

Cells, 2023
The deubiquitinase BAP1 (BRCA1-associated protein 1) is associated with BAP1 tumor predisposition syndrome (TPDS). BAP1 is a tumor suppressor gene whose alterations in cancer are commonly caused by gene mutations leading to protein loss of function.

Insights into cisplatin-induced neurotoxicity and mitochondrial dysfunction in Caenorhabditis elegans

Disease Models & Mechanisms, 2022
Cisplatin is the most common drug in first-line chemotherapy against solid tumors. We and others have previously used the nematode Caenorhabditis elegans to identify genetic factors influencing the sensitivity and resistance to cisplatin.

The Caenorhabditis elegans cuticle plays an important role against toxicity to bisphenol A and bisphenol S

Toxicology Reports, 2023
Caenorhabditis elegans represents a favorite non-mammalian animal model, which is often used to study the effect of foreign substances on living organisms. Its epidermal barrier is a primary biological barrier that protects nematodes from the toxicity of

C. elegans microRNAs [PDF]

WormBook, 2005
MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are small, non-coding regulatory RNAs found in many phyla that control such diverse events as development, metabolism, cell fate and cell death. They have also been implicated in human cancers. The C. elegans genome encodes hundreds of miRNAs, including the founding members of the miRNA family lin-4 and let-7.

Genome editing in animals with minimal PAM CRISPR-Cas9 enzymes

Nature Communications, 2022
PAM requirement is a constraint for genome editing but this has been circumvented by engineered Cas9 nucleases as SpG and SpRY recognizing minimal PAM sequences.

AKIR-1 regulates proteasome subcellular function in Caenorhabditis elegans

iScience, 2023
Summary: Polyubiquitinated proteins are primarily degraded by the ubiquitin-proteasome system (UPS). Proteasomes are present both in the cytoplasm and nucleus. Here, we investigated mechanisms coordinating proteasome subcellular localization and activity

Metabolic and behavioral effects of olanzapine and fluoxetine on the model organism Caenorhabditis elegans

Saudi Pharmaceutical Journal, 2021
The use of many psychotropic drugs (PDs) is associated with increased caloric intake, significant weight gain, and metabolic disorders. The nematode Caenorhabditis elegans (C. elegans) has been used to study the effects of PDs on food intake.

The nematode worm Caenorhabditis elegans as an animal experiment replacement for assessing the virulence of different Salmonella enterica strains

Frontiers in Microbiology, 2023
Caenorhabditis (C.) elegans has become a popular toxicological and biological test organism in the last two decades. Furthermore, the role of C. elegans as an alternative for replacing or reducing animal experiments is continuously discussed and ...
