C. elegans peb-1 mutants exhibit pleiotropic defects in molting, feeding, and morphology.

Abstract excerpt

Caenorhabditis elegans PEB-1 is a novel DNA-binding protein expressed in most pharyngeal cell types and outside the pharynx in the hypodermis, hindgut, and vulva. Previous RNAi analyses indicated that PEB-1 is required for normal morphology of these tissues and growth; however, the peb-1 null phenotype was unknown. Here we describe the deletion mutant peb-1(cu9) that not only exhibits the morphological defects...
