In the nematode C. elegans, several small body size mutants were isolated, and the responsible genes were reported to encode putative components of a TGFbeta signalling pathway. Recently, mutants in the egl-4 gene encoding cGMP-dependent protein kinases were found to have a larger body size, and it was suggested that EGL-4 down-regulates the TGFbeta/DBL-1 pathway. We show that a permeable cGMP analogue 8-Br-cGMP significantly reduces body size of the wild-type but not that of an egl-4 mutant, indicating that cGMP controls body size through EGL-4. Laser ablation of germ-line cells revealed that a germ-line signal and EGL-4 function in the same pathway. Targeted expression of EGL-4 indicates that EGL-4 can function in hypodermis, neurones and intestine both cell-autonomously and cell-nonautonomously to control organ and body size. We propose a signal cascade for the control of body size that involves a germ-line signal, cGMP, G-kinase EGL-4 and DBL-1/TGFbeta pathway. It is interesting that two important pathways involving cGMP and TGFbeta, respectively, are related. Also, the results suggest a novel mechanism for the control of organ and body size in which hypodermis plays a key role"xsd:string |
