Abstract excerpt
beta-Catenin signaling determines the proximal-distal axis of the C. elegans gonad by promoting distal fate in asymmetrically dividing somatic gonad precursor cells (SGPs). Impaired function of the Wnt effector POP-1/TCF, its coactivator SYS-1/beta-catenin, and of upstream components including beta-catenin WRM-1 causes all SGP daughters to adopt the proximal fate. Consequently, no distal tip cells (DTCs) that...
