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

Neurodegenerative disorders: Insights from the nematode Caenorhabditis elegans

Neurobiology of Disease, 2010
Neurodegenerative diseases impose a burden on society, yet for the most part, the mechanisms underlying neuronal dysfunction and death in these disorders remain unclear despite the identification of relevant disease genes.

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 ...

The Small but Versatile Cyclin-Dependent Kinase Subunit CKS: C. elegans CKS-1 Regulates Anaphase Onset and Is Required for Anaphase B During Oocyte Meiosis. [PDF]

Bioessays
The cyclin‐dependent kinase subunit, CKS, is required for anaphase onset during both meiosis I and II in Caenorhabditis elegans oocytes. One model for how CKS promotes meiosis II anaphase onset involves phosphorylation of a Cullin 2 E3 ligase by CDK/CKS/CYB‐3, followed by the CKS anion pocket binding to the phosphorylated E3, recruiting CDK/CKS/CYB‐1 ...

The Influence of Drosophila Spire and Myosin V During Mid‐Oogenesis Is Independent of Their Direct Interaction

Cytoskeleton, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Cooperativity between cytoskeletal proteins is crucial for spatiotemporal coordination in biological processes, like oogenesis. In mammalian and Drosophila oogenesis, proper assembly and function of actin networks require coordination between actin assembly factors Spire and formins, as well as actin‐associated proteins like myosins and Rab ...

Fate specification and tissue-specific cell cycle control of the Caenorhabditis elegans intestine [PDF]

, 2010
Coordination between cell fate specification and cell cycle control in multicellular organisms is essential to regulate cell numbers in tissues and organs during development, and its failure may lead to oncogenesis.

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.

Gene Expression Modifications by Temperature-Toxicants Interactions in Caenorhabditis elegans [PDF]

, 2011
Although organophosphorus pesticides (OP) share a common mode of action, there is increased awareness that they elicit a diverse range of gene expression responses.
