Control of neuronal subtype identity by the C. elegans ARID protein CFI-1

Shaham, Shai, Bargmann, Cornelia I.

The Caenorhabditis elegans hermaphrodite nervous system is composed of 302 neurons that fall into at least 118 diverse classes. Here we describe cfi-1, a gene that contributes to the development of...

Nuclear export of Far1p in response to pheromones requires the export receptor Msn5p/Ste21p

Blondel, Marc, Alepuz, Paula M., Huang, Linda S., Shaham, Shai, Ammerer, Gustav, Peter, Matthias

Far1p is a bifunctional protein that is required to arrest the cell cycle and to establish cell polarity during yeast mating. Far1p is localized predominantly in the nucleus but accumulates in the...

Temporal Control of Cell-Specific Transgene Expression in Caenorhabditis elegans

Bacaj, Taulant, Shaham, Shai

Cell-specific promoters allow only spatial control of transgene expression in Caenorhabditis elegans. We describe a method, using cell-specific rescue of heat-shock factor-1 (hsf-1) mutants, that...

Counting Mutagenized Genomes and Optimizing Genetic Screens in Caenorhabditis elegans

Shaham, Shai

In genetic screens, the number of mutagenized gametes examined is an important parameter for evaluating screen progress, the number of genes of a given mutable phenotype, gene size, cost, and labor....

The Conserved Proteins CHE-12 and DYF-11 Are Required for Sensory Cilium Function in Caenorhabditis elegans

Bacaj, Taulant, Lu, Yun, Shaham, Shai

Sensory neuron cilia are evolutionarily conserved dendritic appendages that convert environmental stimuli into neuronal activity. Although several cilia components are known, the functions of many...

Distinct IFT mechanisms contribute to the generation of ciliary structural diversity in C. elegans

Mukhopadhyay, Saikat, Lu, Yun, Qin, Hongmin, Lanjuin, Anne, Shaham, Shai, Sengupta, Piali

Individual cell types can elaborate morphologically diverse cilia. Cilia are assembled via intraflagellar transport (IFT) of ciliary precursors; however, the mechanisms that generate ciliary...
