Abstract：
:Caenorhabditis elegans hermaphrodites make first sperm, then oocytes. By contrast, animals homozygous for any of six loss-of-function mutations in the gene mog-1 (for masculinization of the germ line) make sperm continuously and do not switch into oogenesis. Therefore, in mog-1 mutants, germ cells that normally would become oocytes are transformed into sperm. By contrast, somatic sexual fates are normal, suggesting that mog-1 plays a germ line-specific role in sex determination. Analyses of double mutants suggest that mog-1 negatively regulates the fem genes and/or fog-1: mog-1; fem and mog-1; fog-1 double mutants all make oocytes rather than sperm. Therefore, we propose that wild-type mog-1 is required in the hermaphrodite germ line for regulation of the switch from spermatogenesis to oogenesis rather than for specification of oogenesis per se. In addition to its role in germline sex determination, maternal mog-1 is required for embryogenesis: most progeny of a mog-1; fem or mog-1; fog-1 mother die as embryos. How might the roles of mog-1 in the sperm/oocyte switch and embryogenesis be linked? Previous work showed that fem-3 is regulated post-transcriptionally to achieve the sperm/oocyte switch. We speculate that mog-1 may function in the post-transcriptional regulation of numerous germ-line RNAs, including fem-3. A loss of mog-1 might inappropriately activate fem-3 and thereby abolish the sperm/oocyte switch; its loss might also lead to misregulation of maternal RNAs and thus embryonic death.
