MEG-1 and MEG-2 are embryo-specific P-granule components required for germline development in Caenorhabditis elegans.

Genetics - 1 Jan 2008

Leacock Stefanie W, Reinke Valerie

Abstract excerpt

In Caenorhabditis elegans, germ granules called P granules are directly inherited from mother to daughter and segregate with the germ lineage as it separates from the soma during initial embryonic cell divisions. Here we define meg-1 and meg-2 (maternal-effect germ-cell defective), which are expressed in the maternal germline and encode proteins that localize exclusively to P granules during embryonic germline...
