Disease relevance of rpn-10
- The feminization phenotype induced by deletion of the rpn-10 gene was rescued by knockdown of tra-2, one of sexual fate decision genes promoting female development, and its downstream target tra-1, indicating that the TRA-2-mediated sex determination pathway is crucial for the Deltarpn-10-induced sterile phenotype [1].
High impact information on rpn-10
- We report herein that knockdown of the rpn-10 gene, but not any other proteasome subunit genes, sexually transforms hermaphrodites to females by eliminating hermaphrodite spermatogenesis in Caenorhabditis elegans [1].
