This study identifies GCK-4 as a regulator of apical actin and junction organization in C. elegans intestine lumen formation, showing it acts independently of ERM phosphorylation.

The paper identifies PAC-1 and LGL-1 as redundant inhibitors of apical polarity in C. elegans embryonic epidermis through genetic analysis.

This study identifies LET-413's role in C. elegans epidermal development, showing its necessity for growth, viability, and directional outgrowth of seam cells through interactions with DLG-1 and Rho GTPases.

This study identifies MAGU-2 and MPZ-1 as C. elegans orthologs of Pals1 and PATJ, showing they form a Crumbs complex and are involved in apical domain formation.

The paper shows that dynein plus-end tracking in C. elegans depends on EBP-2, but spindle positioning remains normal without EBP proteins.
