Characterization of embryonic muscle migration in Caenorhabditis elegans and of the role of unc-54 and mem-1 in inhibiting ectopic muscle membrane extensions.
C. elegans body wall muscle is formed after a series of well-orchestrated steps. This thesis describes the plasma membrane dynamics of these migrating embryonic cells and the identification of two genes unc-54/MHB and mem-1 that appear to be involved negatively regulating post-embryonic muscle membr...
