MEX-3 is a KH domain protein that regulates blastomere identity in early C. elegans embryos.

Cell - 18 Oct 1996

Draper B W, Mello C C, Bowerman B, Hardin J, Priess J R

Abstract excerpt

After the first division of the C. elegans embryo, the posterior blastomere can produce numerous muscles while the anterior blastomere cannot. We show here that maternal-effect lethal mutations in the gene mex-3 cause descendants of the anterior blastomere to produce muscles by a pattern of development similar to that of a descendant of the wild-type posterior blastomere. mex-3 encodes a probable RNA-binding...
