A genetic and molecular analysis of the bli-4 locus of Caenorhabditis elegans, an essential gene encoding KEX2-like subtilisin-typw serine endoproteases

This thesis reports a characterization of genetic mutations and molecular structure of the bli-4 (I) gene of Caenorhabditis elegans. The bli-4locus had been previously defined by a single recessive mutation, e937, which disrupts the structure of adult-stage cuticle causing the formation of fluid-fil...
