Tagging <i>C. elegans</i> septins disrupts cytoskeletal scaffolding but not post-embryonic roles

2026-06-10

Abstract excerpt

Septins are conserved polymer-forming proteins that scaffold the actomyosin cytoskeleton, its regulators, and other factors to cellular membranes. Septins also sense micron-scale curvature, bind microtubules, and establish membrane diffusion barriers. C. elegans is a powerful animal model to study septins’ roles because there are only two septin genes: unc-59 and unc-61 . In many fungal and animal cell types, s...
