Functions of the Caenorhabditis elegans regulatory myosin light chain genes mlc-1 and mlc-2.

Genetics - 1 Nov 1998

Rushforth A M, White C C, Anderson P

Abstract excerpt

Caenorhabditis elegans contains two muscle regulatory myosin light chain genes, mlc-1 and mlc-2. To determine their in vivo roles, we identified deletions that eliminate each gene individually and both genes in combination. Functions of mlc-1 are redundant to those of mlc-2 in both body-wall and pharyngeal muscle. mlc-1(0) mutants are wild type, but mlc-1(0) mlc-2(0) double mutants arrest as incompletely...
