The role of gap junctions in Caenorhabditis elegans oocyte maturation and fertilization.

Developmental biology - 15 Jan 2007

Whitten Scott J, Miller Michael A

Abstract excerpt

We have investigated the role of gap junctions in Caenorhabditis elegans oocyte maturation and fertilization. Gap junctions are observed between oocytes and the surrounding ovarian sheath cells in wild-type gonads. The sheath transcription factor CEH-18 is required to negatively regulate oocyte maturation, mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) activation, and ovulation. Transmission electron microscopy (TEM)...
