mex-1 and the general partitioning of cell fate in the early C. elegans embryo.

Mechanisms of development - 1 Feb 1996

Schnabel R, Weigner C, Hutter H, Feichtinger R, Schnabel H

Abstract excerpt

It is thought that at least some of the initial specification of the five somatic founder cells of the C. elegans embryo occurs cell-autonomously through the segregation of factors during cell divisions. It has been suggested that in embryos from mothers homozygous for mutations in the maternal-effect gene mex-1, four blastomeres of the 8-cell embryo adopt the fate of the MS blastomere. It was proposed that mex-1...
