The Global ETD Search service is a free service for researchers
to find electronic theses and dissertations. This service is
provided by the
Networked Digital Library of Theses and Dissertations.
Our metadata is collected from universities around the world. If you manage a university/consortium/country archive and want to be added, details can be found on the NDLTD website.

smig-1(ev809) is a Novel Suppressor of Distal Tip Cell Migration Mutants in Caenorhabditis elegansTran, Nhat 19 March 2014 (has links)
smig-1(ev809) is a novel suppressor of multiple distal tip cell (DTC) migration mutants in the nematode Caenorhabditis elegans. In the C. elegans hermaphrodite, the two U-shaped gonad arms develop and form as a result of the migration of two DTCs. smig-1(ev809) suppresses DTC migration defects of mutants encoding components of intracellular glycosylation pathways as well as extracellular basement membrane glycoproteins. The smig-1(ev809) mutation bypasses the requirement for a fully functional chondroitin pathway and MIG-17 metalloprotease in DTC pathfinding. I found that i) suppression of the hypomorphic chondroitin mutant mig-22(k141) is not completely dependent on MIG-17 activity; ii) the smig-1(ev809) mutant is likely to be a loss- of-function suppressor; and iii) SMIG-1 does not visibly affect the localization of poorly glycosylated MIG-17 on the gonad surface. Understanding SMIG-1 function will shed light on the role of glycosylation, the extracellular matrix and basement membranes in cell migration during development.
