Journal ArticleDOI
A bmp homolog acts as a dose-dependent regulator of body size and male tail patterning in caenorhabditis elegans
Yo Suzuki,Mark Yandell,Mark Yandell,Peter J. Roy,Srikant Krishna,Cathy Savage-Dunn,Cathy Savage-Dunn,Robert Mars Ross,Richard W. Padgett,William B. Wood +9 more
TL;DR: The cloned dbl-1 gene, a C. elegans homolog of Drosophila decapentaplegic and vertebrate BMP genes, suggests a role for neuronal cells in global size regulation as well as male tail patterning.
Journal ArticleDOI
TGF-beta signaling.
TL;DR: This chapter describes the currently characterized TGF-beta-related signals and signal transduction cassettes in C. elegans and describes how these signaling pathways are comprised of ser/thr kinase receptors, Smads, and transcription co-factors.
Journal ArticleDOI
TGF-β signaling in C. elegans.
TL;DR: Two of the ligands, DBL-1 and DAF-7, signal through a canonical receptor-Smad signaling pathway; while a third ligand, UNC-129, interacts with a noncanonical signaling pathway.
Journal ArticleDOI
The expression of TGFβ signal transducers in the hypodermis regulates body size in C. elegans
TL;DR: It is found that SMA-3 activity in the hypodermis is necessary and sufficient for normal body size, and this results suggest a model in which postembryonic growth of hypodermal cells is regulated by TGFbeta-related signaling from the nervous system to the hypODermis.
Journal ArticleDOI
Genetic screen for small body size mutants in C. elegans reveals many TGFβ pathway components
Cathy Savage-Dunn,Cathy Savage-Dunn,Lisa L. Maduzia,Cole M. Zimmerman,Andrew F. Roberts,Stephen Cohen,Rafal Tokarz,Richard W. Padgett +7 more
TL;DR: Two genes influence regulation of the developmentally arrested dauer larval stage, suggesting a role in a second characterized TGFβ pathway in C. elegans and homologs of these genes may be involved in tissue specificity and/or crosstalk of TGF β pathways in other animals.
