MTD-1, a touch-cell-specific membrane protein with a subtle effect on touch sensitivity.

Mechanisms of development - 1 Nov 2002

Zhang Yun, Chalfie Martin

Abstract excerpt

We have used representational difference analysis (RDA) applied to cDNA to isolate transcripts regulated by MEC-3, a transcription factor needed for the differentiation of the six touch receptor neurons in Caenorhabditis elegans. Six percent of 595 cDNAs isolated by cDNA RDA were mec-3-dependent. These cDNAs represented mRNA from two previously known genes, mec-18 and mec-7, and one new gene, mtd-1...
