High impact information on ced-5

  • The expression of human DOCK180 in C. elegans rescued the cell-migration defect of a ced-5 mutant [1].
  • We suggest that ced-5 acts in the extension of the surface of an engulfing cell around a dying cell during programmed cell death [1].
  • Mutations in genes in one of these pathways, defined by the genes ced-2, ced-5 and ced-10, result in defects both in the engulfment of dying cells and in the migrations of the two distal tip cells of the developing gonad [2].
  • The gene products of ced-2, ced-5, and ced-10 are thought to be part of a pathway that regulates the reorganization of the cytoskeleton during engulfment [3].
  • The highest concentration was found in the ced-5; ced-7 double phagocytosis mutants which carry an extra number of dead cells during their lifespan [4].
 

Other interactions of ced-5

  • However, neither ced-2/crkII nor ced-5/dock180 is involved in amphid axon outgrowth [5].
