High impact information on vab-10

  • Our analysis of vab-10 reveals novel insights into the role of this plakin subfamily. vab-10 generates isoforms related either to plectin (termed VAB-10A) or to microtubule actin cross-linking factor plakins (termed VAB-10B) [1].
  • Here, we report the identification of new mutations in a gene known as vab-10, which lead to severe morphogenesis defects, and show that vab-10 corresponds to the C. elegans spectraplakin locus [1].
  • Nine new genes, named mua, and two previously published loci, unc-23 and vab-10, cause fragile musscle attachments [2].
