cgh-1, a conserved predicted RNA helicase required for gametogenesis and protection from physiological germline apoptosis inC. elegans
1 Sept 2001
Abstract excerpt
A high frequency of apoptosis is a conserved hallmark of oocyte development. In C. elegans, about half of all developing oocytes are normally killed by a physiological germline-specific apoptosis pathway, apparently so that they donate cytoplasm to the survivors. We have investigated the functions of CGH-1, the C. elegans ortholog of the predicted RNA helicase ste13/ME31B/RCK/p54, which is germline-associated in...
