With the sequencing of the C. elegans genome, the extent of the neuropeptide genes in C. elegans can be determined. To date, 113 neuropeptide genes encoding over 250 distinct neuropeptides have been identified. Of these, 40 genes encode insulin-like peptides, 31 genes encode FMRFamide-related peptides, and 42 genes encode non-insulin, non-FMRFamide-related neuropeptides. As in other systems, C. elegans neuropeptides are derived from precursor molecules that must be post-translationally processed to yield the active peptides. These precursor molecules contain a single peptide, multiple copies of a single peptide, multiple distinct peptides, or any combination thereof. The neuropeptide genes are expressed extensively throughout the nervous system, including in sensory, motor, and interneurons. In addition, some of the genes are also expressed in non-neuronal tissues, such as the somatic gonad, intestine, and vulval hypodermis. To address the effects of neuropeptides on C. elegans behavior, animals in which the different neuropeptide genes are inactivated or overexpressed are being isolated. In a complementary approach the receptors to which the neuropeptides bind are also being identified and examined. Among the knockout animals analyzed thus far, defects in locomotion, dauer formation, egg laying, ethanol response, and social behavior have been reported. These data suggest that neuropeptides have a modulatory role in many, if not all, behaviors in C. elegans.</p>","PeriodicalId":75344,"journal":{"name":"WormBook : the online review of C. elegans biology","volume":" ","pages":"1-36"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2008-09-25","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC2749236/pdf/nihms-125541.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"27698428","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

However, germline apoptosis differs from somatic apoptosis in its regulation. Whereas somatic apoptosis is developmentally programmed by cell lineage, germline apoptosis occurs as part of an oogenesis program. One category of germline apoptosis, dubbed \"physiological\" germline apoptosis, reduces the number of cells that complete oogenesis, and is independent of the BH3-only apoptosis effecter EGL-1. A second category, termed \"stress-induced\" germline apoptosis, is triggered by a genomic integrity checkpoint. Some mechanisms that are monitored by this DNA-damage checkpoint are also involved in germ cell \"immortality,\" or preservation of a continuous germ cell lineage over successive generations. In addition, exposure to certain environmental insults or pathogens induces germ cell apoptosis. Here we will review the mechanisms that control each of the pathways leading to germ cell apoptosis and discuss their functional significance. Germline apoptosis is an integral part of oogenesis in many animals, including humans. Because many of the regulators of C. elegans germline apoptosis are conserved, we suggest that this nematode provides a valuable model for understanding controls of germline apoptosis more broadly.</p>","PeriodicalId":75344,"journal":{"name":"WormBook : the online review of C. elegans biology","volume":" ","pages":"1-20"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2008-09-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4781258/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"27666540","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In addition, there are numerous examples of anthelmintic drugs providing exceptionally useful pharmacological tools to delineate fundamental aspects of cell signalling in C. elegans. This has primarily been achieved through the use of anthelmintics in forward genetic screens followed by the mapping and characterization of genes that confer altered susceptibility to the drug. Less fruitful so far, but nonetheless useful, has been the direct use of C. elegans for anthelmintic discovery programmes.

The molecular identities of the vast majority of dauer regulatory genes isolated in initial genetic screens are now known.

The discovery of the Hid (high temperature induction of dauer) phenotype and the results of enhancer screens have greatly expanded the repertoire of dauer regulatory genes.
