High impact information on vit-6

  • We have produced strains carrying a synthetic fusion of parts of two vitellogenin genes, vit-2 and vit-6, integrated into the Caenorhabditis elegans genome [1].
  • Stable transgenic strains were isolated expressing a gene in which 69 nucleotides of a vit-5 intron, including the 3' splice site, were inserted into the 5' untranslated region of a vit-2/vit-6 fusion gene [2].
  • Screening of a genomic library with a probe to total poly(A+) RNA yielded three clones that hybridized more intensely than all others, and all three corresponded to a single gene homologous to C. elegans vit-6 [3].
  • We review recent experimental work aimed at testing the role of antioxidant genes within the conceptual framework of the free radical theory of ageing, as well as studies investigating the role of juvenile hormone, vitellogenin and telomeres as mediators of ageing in social insects [4].
  • After progesterone treatment (10(-7) M), the vit-5 and vit-6 were down-regulated and vit-1 up-regulated (3.59-fold) [5].
