The CeCDC-14 phosphatase is required for cytokinesis in the Caenorhabditis elegans embryo [PDF]

, 2002
In all eukaryotic organisms, the physical separation of two nascent cells must be coordinated with chromosome segregation and mitotic exit. In Saccharomyces cerevisiae and Schizosaccharomyces pombe this coordination depends on a number of genes that ...

In Vivo Cytoskeletal AMPA Receptor Transport Imaging in C. elegans

Cytoskeleton, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Long‐distance intracellular transport of ionotropic glutamate receptors (iGluRs) is essential for proper excitatory synaptic function underlying learning and memory. Many neuropsychiatric and neurodegenerative conditions have abnormal iGluR transport and trafficking, leading to an intense interest in the mechanisms and factors regulating these

Microsporidia are natural intracellular parasites of the nematode Caenorhabditis elegans.

PLoS Biology, 2008
For decades the soil nematode Caenorhabditis elegans has been an important model system for biology, but little is known about its natural ecology. Recently, C.

Protocol for Reconstituting Adaptor‐Mediated Activation of Full‐Length Kinesin‐1

Cytoskeleton, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Kinesin‐1 is a member of the kinesin superfamily that plays an essential role in intracellular cargo transport. In the absence of cargo, Kinesin‐1 exhibits low motor activity due to autoinhibition. Multiple studies have demonstrated that adaptor proteins, which link cargos to Kinesin‐1, can activate Kinesin‐1 by releasing the autoinhibition ...

On collective behavior in C. elegans

Frontiers in Neurorobotics
C. elegans is a model organism in many biological domains, such as genetics, neurophysiology, and behavioral ecology. Despite our relatively deep knowledge of the neuronal, genetic and molecular mechanisms underlying C.

The Kinesin Speed Paradox Revisited: How Can Cargoes Move Faster Than Their Motors?

Cytoskeleton, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Intracellular transport is essential for cellular organization and function. Kinesin‐1, the founding member of the kinesin superfamily, delivers a wide range of cargoes along microtubules. Since its discovery, extensive work has identified cargo–kinesin interactions and regulatory mechanisms.

Fixation Induces Mislocalization of Thin Filament Components in Caenorhabditis elegans Striated Muscle

Cytoskeleton, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The simple nematode Caenorhabditis elegans has long served as a powerful genetic model system for studying muscle structure and function, with sarcomeres of the striated body wall muscle (BWM) that are considered largely homologous to those in vertebrates.

Hyperactive KIF5A in Neurodegeneration

Cytoskeleton, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The highly polarised morphology of neurons and the sheer length of their axons make transport of cargoes throughout the cell a formidable task. Decades of evidence obtained from genetic studies on patients and animal models highlight deficits in axonal transport as a recurrent cause, or early contributing factor, in a plethora of ...

KIF1A‐Mediated Axonal Transport of Netrin‐1 in iPSC‐Derived Human Forebrain Neurons

Cytoskeleton, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Netrin‐1 is a secreted laminin‐like protein that functions as a guidance cue for axon pathfinding in development. Netrin‐1 also modulates synapse formation in developing neurons and long‐term potentiation in mature neurons. Netrin‐1 is expressed in human neurons; however, its intracellular distribution and trafficking have not been assessed ...

High atmospheric pressure rescues plant growth under humidity stress: A model for climate‐resilient deep underground agriculture

Deep Underground Science and Engineering, EarlyView.
High atmospheric pressure (120 kPa) in deep underground counteracts humidity‐induced physiological stress in plants, stabilizing water balance and enhancing antioxidative defenses. This synergy boosts biomass despite elevated humidity, demonstrating sustainable deep underground agriculture potential under climate uncertainty.
