The Automatic Tracking Of <i>Caenorhabditis elegans</i> And Its Use In Determining Genetic Function
… function. A pair of strains with mutations in DEG/ENaC subunit encoding genes clustered strongly together using the micro-motif method, due to similar defects in their behaviours upon turning. The function of these genes, <i>asic-2</i> and <i>acd-5</i>, was unknown. Upon further investigation …

Functional and behavioural characterisation of C. elegans acid-sensing DEG/ENaCs
… how proton-sensitive members of the C. elegans DEG/ENaC family regulate cellular processes and drive behaviour. In the initial screen, I identified five C. elegans DEG/ENaCs subunits that can form proton-sensitive homomeric channels when expressed in vitro in Xenopus oocytes. These could be …

Neuronal and Molecular Basis of Nociception and Thermosensation in Drosophila melanogaster
… molecular components for larval nociception. The Degenerin Epithelial Sodium Channel (DEG/ENaC) protein called pickpocket (ppk) is required specifically for larval mechanical nociception but not for thermal nociception. Being specifically expressed in class IV multidendritic neurons (the …
