Abstract excerpt
The eyeless C. elegans exhibits robust phototaxis behavior in response to short-wavelength light, particularly UV light. C. elegans senses light through LITE-1, a unique photoreceptor protein that belongs to the invertebrate taste receptor family. However, it remains unclear how LITE-1 is regulated. Here, we performed a forward genetic screen for genes that when mutated suppress LITE-1 function. One group of...
