mec-15 encodes an F-box protein required for touch receptor neuron mechanosensation, synapse formation and development.

Genetics - 1 Oct 2009

Bounoutas Alexander, Zheng Qun, Nonet Michael L, Chalfie Martin

Abstract excerpt

Selective protein degradation is a key regulator of neuronal development and synaptogenesis. Complexes that target proteins for degradation often contain F-box proteins. Here we characterize MEC-15, an F-box protein with WD repeats, which is required for the development and function of Caenorhabd...
