A conserved metalloprotease mediates ecdysis in Caenorhabditis elegans.

Development (Cambridge, England) - 1 Dec 2004

Abstract excerpt

Molting is required for progression between larval stages in the life cycle of nematodes. We have identified four mutant alleles of a Caenorhabditis elegans metalloprotease gene, nas-37, that cause incomplete ecdysis. At each molt the cuticle fails to open sufficiently at the anterior end and the...
