REVIEW
Regulating distal tip cell migration in space and time.
Mechanisms of Development 2017 December
Gonad morphogenesis in the nematode C. elegans is guided by two leader cells, the distal tip cells (DTC). The DTCs migrate along a stereotyped path, executing two 90° turns before stopping at the midpoint of the animal. This migratory path determines the double-U shape of the adult gonad, therefore, the path taken by the DTCs can be inferred from the final shape of the organ. In this review, we focus on the mechanism by which the DTC executes the first 90° turn from the ventral to dorsal side of the animal, and how it finds its correct stopping place at the midpoint of the animal. We discuss the role of heterochronic genes in coordinating DTC migration with larval development, the role of feedback loops and miRNA regulation in phenotypic robustness, and the role of RNA binding proteins in the cessation of DTC migration.
