Two C. elegans genes control the programmed deaths of specific cells in the pharynx

RE Ellis and HR Horvitz
Howard Hughes Medical Institute, Department of Biology, M.I.T. Cambridge 02139.

The genes ces-1 and ces-2 control the decisions of two cells in the nematode Caenorhabditis elegans to undergo programmed cell death. Mutations that cause a gain of ces-1 function or a reduction of ces-2 function prevent these cells, the sisters of the two pharyngeal NSM neurons, from dying. These mutations do not affect most other cell deaths. Genetic studies indicate that ces-1 and ces-2 affect the fates of the NSM sisters by regulating the genes required for all programmed cell deaths to occur.
