Caenorhabditis elegans
SQV-6
CELE_Y50D4C.4, sqv6, Y50D4C.4
sqv-6 encodes a xylosyltransferase, active in cell culture, that is required for cytokinesis of one-cell embryos and for vulval morphogenesis; SQV-6 is predicted to begin the synthesis of glycosaminoglycans by adding xylose to their protein cores; the common requirement for SQV-6 in both cytokinesis and morphogenesis may be to promote filling an extracellular space with hygroscopic proteoglycans (either in the eggshell, or underneath the L4 cuticle), which in turn may cause the space to fill with fluid.
