Paramyosin of Caenorhabditis elegans

Journal of Molecular Biology, 1974
Abstract Paramyosin has been isolated from the nematode, Caenorhabditis elegans . Its identity has been established by a variety of criteria, including purification, molecular weight, immunological cross reactivity with known paramyosin and formation of characteristic paracrystals.

Networks in Caenorhabditis elegans

Current Opinion in Genetics & Development, 2011
The network paradigm has become a pervasive theme in biology over the last decade, as increasingly large functional genomic datasets are being collected to interrogate regulatory influences, physical interactions, and genetic dependencies between genes, transcripts, and proteins.

Immunity in Caenorhabditis elegans

Current Opinion in Immunology, 2004
Until very recently it was not known whether the invertebrate Caenorhabditis elegans was capable of mounting a specific immune response to protect itself from pathogens. It has only just become clear that this simple nematode in fact possesses a complex innate immune system, involving multiple signalling pathways and an armoury of antimicrobial ...

The kinetochores of Caenorhabditis elegans

Chromosoma, 1982
Light microscopy of the mitotic chromosomes of Caenorhabditis elegans suggests that non-localized kinetochores are present, since the chromosomes appear as stiff rods 1 to 2 micrometers in length and lack any visible constriction. The holokinetic structure was confirmed by reconstructions of electron micrographs of dividing nuclei in serially sectioned

Transgenesis in Caenorhabditis elegans

2009
Two efficient strategies have been developed and are widely used for the genetic transformation of the nematode Caenorhabditis elegans, DNA microinjection, and DNA-coated microparticle bombardment. Both methodologies facilitate the delivery of exogenous DNA into the developing oocytes of adult hermaphrodite animals, which then generate transgenic worms

The microRNAs of Caenorhabditis elegans

Seminars in Cell & Developmental Biology, 2010
The soil nematode, Caenorhabditis elegans, occupies a central place in the short history of microRNA (miRNA) research. The converse is also true: miRNAs have emerged as key regulatory components in the life cycle of the worm, as well as numerous other organisms.

Optogenetics in Caenorhabditis elegans

2015
With a compact neural circuit consisting of entirely mapped 302 neurons, Caenorhabditis elegans plays an important role in the development and application of optogenetics. Optogenetics in C. elegans offers the opportunity that drastically changes experimental designs with increasing accessibility for neural activity and various cellular processes ...

Caenorhabditis elegans development

Current Opinion in Cell Biology, 1989
Developmental studies continue to be the primary focus of research on the nematode Caenorhabditis elegang and, as in the past, genetic analysis has been the principle tool for dissecting developmental phenomena. Major advances in the study of early embryogenesis, sex determination, cell lineages and cellular differentiation have resulted from the ...

Biolistic Transformation of Caenorhabditis elegans

2012
The ability to generate transgenic animals to study gene expression and function is a powerful and important part of the Caenorhabditis elegans genetic toolbox. Transgenic animals can be created by introducing exogenous DNA into the worm germline either by microinjection or by microparticle bombardment (biolistic transformation).

Mitochondrial Division in Caenorhabditis elegans

2007
The study of mitochondrial division proteins has largely focused on yeast and mammalian cells. We describe methods to use Caenorhabditis elegans as an alternative model for studying mitochondrial division, taking advantage of the many wonderful resources provided by the C. elegans community.
