High impact information on par-6

  • Mutations in two of these genes, par-3 and par-6, exhibit similar phenotypes [1].
  • In addition, we find that loss-of-function par-6 mutations act as dominant bypass suppressors of loss-of-function mutations in par-2 [2].
  • The early phenotypes of par-6 embryos include the generation of equal-sized blastomeres, improper localization of P granules and SKN-1 protein, and abnormal second division cleavage patterns [2].
  • We find that mutants that disrupt anterior-posterior asymmetry in the early embryo (par-1-par-6, emb-8, Par(q537)) disrupt the spatial but not temporal control of GLP-1 expression: GLP-1 is observed at the normal stage of embryogenesis in par-like mutants; however, it is uniformly distributed [3].
