MORC-1 is a key component of the <i>C. elegans</i> CSR-1 germline gene licensing mechanism
2024-10-02
Abstract excerpt
The Argonaute CSR-1 is essential for germline development in C. elegans . Mutation of csr-1 downregulates thousands of germline-expressed genes, leading to the model that the CSR-1-mediated small RNA pathway promotes, or “licenses,” gene expression by an unknown mechanism. CSR-1 also silences a limited number of genes through its canonical endonucleolytic “slicer” activity. We show that the GHKL-type ATPase MORC...
