Activity of the Caenorhabditis elegans UNC-86 POU transcription factor modulates olfactory sensitivity.

Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America - 5 Aug 2003

Sze Ji Ying, Ruvkun Gary

Abstract excerpt

The activity of transcription factors modulates several neural pathways that mediate complex behaviors. We describe here the role of the POU transcription factor UNC-86 in the olfactory behavior of Caenorhabditis elegans. unc-86-null mutants are defective in response to odor attractants but avoid odor repellents normally. Continuous UNC-86 activity is necessary for maintenance of odortaxis behavior;...
