We identified the gob-1 (gut-obstructed) gene in a forward genetic screen for intestinal defects in the nematode Caenorhabditis elegans. gob-1 loss of function results in early larval lethality, at least in part because of a blocked intestinal lumen and consequent starvation. The gob-1 gene is first expressed in the 8E cell stage of the embryonic intestine, and the GATA factor ELT-2 is sufficient but not...
