Caenorhabditis elegans paraoxonase-like proteins control the functional expression of DEG/ENaC mechanosensory proteins
MEC-6 and POML-1 are similar proteins needed for touch sensitivity in Caenorhabditis elegans. These proteins reside primarily in the ER and affect the amount and localization of MEC-4, the DEG/ENaC mechanotransduction channel protein. MEC-6 also accelerates MEC-4 transport to the cell surface in vit...
