The poly-U specific endoribonuclease ENDU-2 plays an important role in maintaining germline immortality in C. elegans. The endu-2 loss-of function mutants display a mortal germline phenotype at 20°C but not at 15°C. At 25°C, the mortal germline phenotype is enhanced. In addition, an extrachromosomal...
Organisms' ability to respond to life-threatening environmental impacts is crucial for their survival. While acute stress responses to unfavorable factors are well known, the physiological consequences of transient stress experiences over time, as well as their underlying mechanisms, are not well un...
