The long isoform of the C. elegans ELT-3 GATA factor can specify endoderm when overexpressed

The C. elegans elt-3 gene encodes a GATA transcription factor that is expressed in the hypodermis and has roles in hypodermal specification and regulation of collagen and stress response genes. The gene encodes short and long isoforms, ELT-3A and ELT-3B respectively, that differ upstream of their DN...

description The C. elegans elt-3 gene encodes a GATA transcription factor that is expressed in the hypodermis and has roles in hypodermal specification and regulation of collagen and stress response genes. The gene encodes short and long isoforms, ELT-3A and ELT-3B respectively, that differ upstream of their DNA-binding domains. Previous work showed that ELT-3A can specify hypodermal cell fates when forcibly overexpressed throughout early embryos. We recently showed that the ELT-3B orthologue from the distantly related species C. angaria can specify endodermal fates when forcibly overexpressed in C. elegans. Here, we show that C. elegans ELT-3B can also specify endoderm.
