Abstract excerpt

We have analyzed the expression and function of Cecpz-1, a Caenorhabditis elegans cathepsin Z-like cysteine protease gene, during development of the worm. The cpz-1 gene is expressed in various hypodermal cells of all developmental stages and is specifically expressed in the gonads and the pharynx of adult worms. Disruption of cpz-1 function by RNA interference or cpz-1(ok497) deletion mutant suggests that cpz-1...
