Structured_descriptionConcise_descriptionsrf-6 was identified in surface immunofluorescence screens for mutants that show constitutive larval display (CLD) of the L1 epitope on all four larval stages; normally wild-type worms can be induced to display a first larval stage (L1) epitope in response to environmental signals, known as the inducible larval display (ILD); srf-6 is required for chemotaxis, similar to the genes osm-3 (a cytoplasmic kinesin), che-3 (a cyotosolic dynein heavy chain), and tax-4 (a cyclic-nucleotide-gated ion channel subunit), whose mutants show reduced ILD and block the CLD of srf-6; srf-6 interacts with the genes in the TGF-beta like pathway like daf-14 to enhance the dauer-constitutive phenotype; srf-6 mutants are also resistant to the attachment of Yersinia biofilms; thus srf-6 may play a regulatory role in the overlapping functions of chemotaxis, dauer formation and surface determination.Paper_evidenceWBPaper00002589

Disease_relevanceC. elegans is used as a model system to study bacterial adherence via biofilm formation and to identify genes in the infectious agent as well as the host that are required for infection; elegans srf genes are required for cuticle surface properties like binding to antigens, and for the adherence of bacterial pathogens like Yersinia pseduotuberculosis and Yersinia pestis via biofilms.Homo sapiensPaper_evidenceWBPaper00001706
