Auxin-inducible degradation of UNC-116 in <i>C. elegans</i> inhibits bidirectional dense core vesicle transport and worm locomotion on different timescales
2025-06-24
Abstract excerpt
The microtubule motor kinesin-1 is vital in neurons, with mutations being associated with neurological diseases. Deletion of the Caenorhabditis elegans kinesin-1 gene unc-116 is lethal, and viable mutants are uncoordinated. Here, we use auxin-mediated degradation to deplete UNC-116 protein at different developmental stages and monitor the effects on cargo transport and locomotion. UNC-116 is substantially degrad...
