Mutations in genes encoding extracellular matrix proteins suppress the emb-5 gastrulation defect in Caenorhabditis elegans.

Abstract excerpt

The second division of the gut precursor E cells is lethally accelerated during Caenorhabditis elegans gastrulation by mutations in the emb-5 gene, which encodes a presumed nuclear protein. We have isolated suppressor mutations of the temperature-sensitive allele emb-5(hc61), screened for them among dpy and other mutations routinely used as genetic markers, and identified eight emb-5 suppressor genes. Of these...
