Abstract excerpt
The exc mutations of Caenorhabditis elegans alter the position and shape of the apical cytoskeleton in polarized epithelial cells. Mutants in exc-7 form small cysts throughout the tubular excretory canals that regulate organismal osmolarity. We have cloned the exc-7 gene, the closest nematode homologue to the neural RNA-binding protein ELAV. EXC-7 is expressed in the canal for a short time midway through...
