Project Type MQP Submission date 2008-01-10 Author Rashad Hassan Hardaway, BC URN E-project-011008-162940 Title Caenorhabditis elegans: A comparison of nematomucin expression in surface mutants Advisor Politz, Samuel M, BB Availability unrestricted Abstract
A class of Caenorhabditis elegans genes encodes amino acid sequence motifs similar to surface proteins of the parasitic nematode, T. canis, and therefore can serve as a model for the parasite's nematomucin expression. Putative surface protein expression in C. elegans surface mutants was compared to wild-type expression using anti-peptide antibodies. SDS-PAGE determined protein viability and western blotting revealed protein expression similarities. bah-1(br1), srf-2(br3), bus-4(br4), bah-2(br7), and srf-6(yj13) showed a 52 kDa protein band similar to the wild-type, and bah-1(br1) expressed an additional 36 kDa protein.
