sma-1 encodes a betaH-spectrin homolog required for Caenorhabditis elegans morphogenesis.

Development (Cambridge, England) - 1 Jun 1998

McKeown C, Praitis V, Austin J

Abstract excerpt

Morphogenesis transforms the C. elegans embryo from a ball of cells into a vermiform larva. During this transformation, the embryo increases fourfold in length; present data indicates this elongation results from contraction of the epidermal actin cytoskeleton. In sma-1 mutants, the extent of embryonic elongation is decreased and the resulting sma-1 larvae, although viable, are shorter than normal. We find that...
