Caenorhabditis elegans: A comparison of nematomucin expression in surface mutants
PublicDownloadable Content
open in viewerA class of Caenorhabditis elegans genes encodes amino acid sequence motifs similar to surface proteins of the parasitic nematode, T. canis, and therefore can serve as a model for the parasite's nematomucin expression. Putative surface protein expression in C. elegans surface mutants was compared to wild-type expression using anti-peptide antibodies. SDS-PAGE determined protein viability and western blotting revealed protein expression similarities. bah-1(br1), srf-2(br3), bus-4(br4), bah-2(br7), and srf-6(yj13) showed a 52 kDa protein band similar to the wild-type, and bah-1(br1) expressed an additional 36 kDa protein.
