PLK-1 regulates MEX-1 polarization in the <i>C. elegans</i> zygote

2024-07-26

Abstract excerpt

The one-cell C. elegans embryo undergoes an asymmetric cell division during which germline factors such as the RNA-binding proteins POS-1 and MEX-1 segregate to the posterior cytoplasm, leading to their asymmetric inheritance to the posterior germline daughter cell. Previous studies found that the RNA-binding protein MEX-5 recruits polo-like kinase PLK-1 to the anterior cytoplasm where PLK-1 inhibits the retentio...
