UNC-119 suppresses axon branching in C. elegans.

Development (Cambridge, England) - 1 Oct 2001

Abstract excerpt

The architecture of the differentiated nervous system is stable but the molecular mechanisms that are required for stabilization are unknown. We characterized the gene unc-119 in the nematode Caenorhabditis elegans and demonstrate that it is required to stabilize the differentiated structure of the nervous system. In unc-119 mutants, motor neuron commissures are excessively branched in adults. However, live...
