The cuticle of C. elegans is impermeable to chemicals, toxins, and pathogens. However, increased permeability a desirable phenotype because it facilitates chemical uptake. Surface lipids contribute the barrier. Here, we identify lipid transfer protein GMAP-1 as critical element setting cuticle. A gmap-1 deletion mutant increases cuticular sodium azide, levamisole, Hoechst, DiI. Expressing in hypodermis or transiently adults sufficient rescue this phenotype. secreted from aqueous fluid...
Abstract The Baculovirus/insect cell expression system is a powerful technology for reconstitution of eukaryotic macromolecular assemblies. Most multigene platforms rely on Tn7-mediated transposition transferring the cassette into baculoviral genome. This allows rigorous characterization recombinant bacmids but involves multiple steps, limitation when many constructs are to be tested. For parallel screening and potential high throughput applications, we have established an open source...
The nematode cuticle is a thick and resistant hydroskeleton that acts as barrier controlling exchanges between the external environment internal medium. of C. elegans- free-living - impermeable to chemicals, toxins pathogens. Increased permeability desirable phenotype because it facilitates chemical uptake, leading increased sensitivity agents reduced risks false negatives during small molecule screening. Permeability defects can arise from deficiencies in subset collagens, surface coat...
