A sex-determining gene, fem-1, required for both male and hermaphrodite development in Caenorhabditis elegans.

abstract：:This work has identified the enzymes involved in the activation and conjugation of the ubiquitin-like protein NED-8 in Caenorhabditis elegans. A C. elegans conjugating enzyme, UBC-12, is highly specific in its ability to utilize NED-8 as a substrate. Immunostaining shows that NED-8 is conjugated in vivo to a major tar...
