A predicted membrane protein, TRA-2A, directs hermaphrodite development in Caenorhabditis elegans.

Development (Cambridge, England) - 1 Sept 1995

Kuwabara P E, Kimble J

Abstract excerpt

The nematode C. elegans naturally develops as either an XO male or XX hermaphrodite. The sex-determining gene, tra-2, promotes hermaphrodite development in XX animals. This gene encodes a predicted membrane protein, named TRA-2A, which has been proposed to provide the primary feminising activity of the tra-2 locus. Here, we show that transgenic TRA-2A driven from a heat shock promoter can fully feminise the...
