✦ Synopsis

Cell communication is crucial for many aspects of growth and differentiation during the development of the nematode Caenorhabditis elegans. Two genes, glp-1 and Zin-12, mediate a number of known cell-cell interactions. Genetic and molecular analyses of these two genes lead to the conclusion that they are structurally and functionally related. We summarize these studies as well as those involving the identification of other genes that interact with glp-I and/or lin-12.

Cells become polarized to develop functional specializations and to distribute developmental determinants unequally during division. Studies that began in the nematode C. elegans have identified a group of largely conserved proteins, called PAR proteins, that play key roles in the polarization of ma
