The Caenorhabditis elegans UNC-87 protein is essential for maintenance, but not assembly, of bodywall muscle.

The Journal of cell biology - 1 Oct 1994

Goetinck S, Waterston R H

Abstract excerpt

Mutations in the unc-87 gene of Caenorhabditis elegans cause disorganization of the myofilament lattice in adult bodywall muscle. In order to assess the organization of specific bodywall muscle components in the absence of the unc-87 gene product, we examined the bodywall muscles of mutant animals using phalloidin and monoclonal antibodies to various muscle proteins. These studies indicated that the bodywall...
