Abstract Background The left and right AWC olfactory neurons in Caenorhabditis elegans differ in their functions and in their expression of chemosensory receptor genes; in each animal, one AWC...

An ion channel of the degenerin/epithelial sodium channel superfamily controls the defecation rhythm in Caenorhabditis elegans

Ultradian rhythms are widespread phenomena found in various biological organisms. A typical example is the defecation behavior of the nematode Caenorhabditis elegans, which repeats at about 45-sec...

UNC-4/UNC-37-dependent repression of motor neuron-specific genes controls synaptic choice in Caenorhabditis elegans

Winnier, Angela R., Meir, James Y.-J., Ross, Jennifer M., Tavernarakis, Nektarios, Driscoll, Monica, Ishihara, Takeshi, ...

The UNC-4 homeoprotein and the Groucho-like corepressor UNC-37 specify synaptic choice in the Caenorhabditis elegans motor neuron circuit. In unc-4 mutants, VA motor neurons are miswired with inputs...

FLR-4, a Novel Serine/Threonine Protein Kinase, Regulates Defecation Rhythm in Caenorhabditis elegans

Take-uchi, Masaya, Kobayashi, Yuri, Kimura, Koutarou D., Ishihara, Takeshi, Katsura, Isao

The defecation behavior of the nematode Caenorhabditis elegans is controlled by a 45-s ultradian rhythm. An essential component of the clock that regulates the rhythm is the inositol trisphosphate...
