Animals do not respond with sleeping behavior induced through the EGF pathway. The EGF-induced sleep pathway is thought to represent a distinct molecular pathway from developmentally linked sleep. The EGF-induced sleep state occurs in two contexts: by overexpressing the EGF ortholog (LIN-3C), or by EGF signaling after stress (such as temperature elevation) in wildtype animals.
Animals respond with sleeping behavior induced through the EGF pathway, more rigorously than control animals. The EGF-induced sleep pathway is thought to represent a distinct molecular pathway from developmentally linked sleep. The EGF-induced sleep state occurs in two contexts: by overexpressing the EGF ortholog (LIN-3C), or by EGF signaling after stress (such as temperature elevation) in wildtype animals.
Cessation of development that normally occurs in C. elegans 460-520 min after the first cleavage at 20C, the stage between the 1.5-fold and 3-fold embryo.
Animals exhibit a decrease in the regulated breakdown of mRNA transcripts in which an amino-acid codon has changed to a premature stop codon and the 3 prime end is not protected by a poly(A) tail.
