High impact information on Y111B2A.15

  • We found that RNAi of TPST-A suppressed the roller phenotype caused by mutations in the rol-6 collagen gene, suggesting that sulfation of collagen proteins may be important for proper organization of the extracellular cuticle matrix [1].
  • We found that TPST-A was mainly expressed in the hypodermis, especially in the seam cells [1].
  • The TPST-A RNAi significantly decreased the dityrosine level in the worms, raising the possibility that the sulfation process may be a pre-requisite for the collagen tyrosine cross-linking [1].
