Abstract excerpt
In Caenorhabditis elegans, gonadal morphogenesis begins with the post-embryonic birth of two distal tip cells (DTCs) that migrate in phase 1 along the ventral body-wall in opposite directions. Phase 2 comprises a 90° turn followed by migration in a dorsal direction. Here, we identify a genetic dependency between two glycosylation pathways that modify proteins at different sites and display bioequivalence that...
