High impact information on dpy-31

We analyzed the interaction among dpy-31, sqt-3, and dpy-17 using a SQT-3-specific antiserum, which was employed in immunofluorescence experiments [1].
In previous work, we reported analysis of the C. elegans dpy-31 locus, encoding a hypodermally expressed zinc-metalloprotease of the BMP-1/TOLLOID family essential for viability and cuticle deposition [1].
We report the characterization of the Caenorhabditis elegans gene dpy-31, which encodes the first essential astacin metalloprotease identified in this organism [2].
