Transcriptome profiling of the Caenorhabditis elegans intestine reveals that ELT-2 negatively and positively regulates intestinal gene expression within the context of a gene regulatory network

Robert T. P. Williams, David C King, Izabella R. Mastroianni…·Erin Osborne Nishimura

The paper identifies ELT-2's role in regulating intestinal gene expression in C. elegans by analyzing transcriptome profiles across developmental stages and reveals its dual activation and repression of target genes.

Translation of the ERM-1 membrane-binding domain directs erm-1 mRNA localization to the plasma membrane in the C. elegans embryo

Lindsay P. Winkenbach, Dylan M. Parker, Robert T. P. Williams, Erin Osborne Nishimura

The paper shows that erm-1 mRNA localization to the plasma membrane in C. elegans embryos depends on translation of its membrane-binding domain, with a smiFISH screen identifying additional membrane-localized mRNAs.
