Structured_descriptionConcise_descriptionsrf-8 was identified as a mutation that alters the surface antigenicity of the cuticle in C. elegans; srf-8 mutations show altered binding to antibodies raised against the cuticles of wild-type worms, and lectins like wheat germ agglutinin; srf-8 mutants also show uncoordinated movement, abnormal gonadal and male tail morphologies, and male infertility.Paper_evidenceWBPaper00001576

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
