Sequential action of the nuclear Argonautes HRDE-1 and NRDE-3 promotes global transcriptional silencing during starvation in the nascent <i>C. elegans</i> germline
2025-06-25
Abstract excerpt
In C. elegans , if embryos hatch into an environment lacking nutrients the primordial germ cells (PGCs) will arrest mRNA transcription and enter quiescence until food becomes available. Our previous work had shown that the global transcriptional silencing (GTS) that occurs in PGCs during L1 starvation requires a “hyperdeposition” of the repressive histone mark H3K9me3 in germline chromatin. Hyperdeposition is def...
