The F-box protein FBXL-5 governs vitellogenesis and lipid homeostasis in <i>C. elegans</i>
2024-04-22
Abstract excerpt
<h4>ABSTRACT</h4> The molecular mechanisms that govern the metabolic commitment to reproduction, which often occurs at the expense of somatic reserves, remain poorly understood. We identified the C. elegans F-box protein FBXL-5 as a negative regulator of maternal provisioning of vitellogenin lipoproteins, which mediate the transfer of intestinal lipids to the germline. Mutations in fbxl-5 partially suppress the...
