  4. 2. Cell fate specification by Ras-mediated cell signalling in C. elegans

    Author : Teresa Tiensuu; Simon Tuck; Benjamin Podbilewicz; Umeå universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Cell and molecular biology; cell signalling; Ras; vulva precursor cell; lin-25; sur-2; lin-1; cell fate specification; Mediator; vulva induction; transcriptional regulation; Cell- och molekylärbiologi; Cell and molecular biology; Cell- och molekylärbiologi;

    Abstract : Induction of vulval fates in the C. elegans hermaphrodite is mediated by a conserved RTK/Ras/MAP kinase signalling pathway, in which the core components can be placed into a linear genetic and biochemical pathway. However, the events that occur downstream of this pathway are not yet well understood. READ MORE
