High impact information on osm-3

  • Other sensory neurons may suppress social feeding, as social feeding in ocr-2 and odr-4 mutants is restored by mutations in osm-3, a gene required for the development of 26 ciliated sensory neurons [1].
  • C. elegans osm-3 gene mediating osmotic avoidance behaviour encodes a kinesin-like protein [2].
  • In the nematode Caenorhabditis elegans, mutants in osm-3 gene are known to be defective in osmotic avoidance, chemotaxis and dauer formation behaviours [2].
  • Our results are consistent with the previous EM data on osm-3 (p802) mutants that show an accumulation of dense matrix material in the amphid sheath cytoplasm and a shortened distal segment of the amphid channel cilium [2].
 

Biological context of osm-3

 

Analytical, diagnostic and therapeutic context of osm-3

  • To study the molecular basis of these pleiotropic defects we have cloned the osm-3 gene by germline transformation of osm-3 (p802) mutants through microinjection of the wild type genomic DNA [2].
