Sheth U, Pitt J, Dennis S, Priess J
Development . 2010 Mar; 137(8):1305-14. PMID: 20223759
Germline-specific granules of unknown function are found in a wide variety of organisms, including C. elegans, where they are called P granules. P granules are cytoplasmic bodies in oocytes and...

Tenlen J, Molk J, London N, Page B, Priess J
Development . 2008 Oct; 135(22):3665-75. PMID: 18842813
Anteroposterior polarity in early C. elegans embryos is required for the specification of somatic and germline lineages, and is initiated by a sperm-induced reorganization of the cortical cytoskeleton and PAR...

Rasmussen J, English K, Tenlen J, Priess J
Dev Cell . 2008 Apr; 14(4):559-69. PMID: 18410731
During organogenesis of the C. elegans digestive system, epithelial cells within a cyst-like primordium develop diverse shapes through largely unknown mechanisms. We here analyze two adjacent, dorsal epithelial cells, called...

Priess J
WormBook . 2007 Dec; :1-16. PMID: 18050407
Cell-cell interactions mediated by the Notch signaling pathway occur throughout C. elegans embryogenesis. These interactions have major roles in specifying cell fates and in tissue morphogenesis. The network of Notch...

Neves A, English K, Priess J
Development . 2007 Nov; 134(24):4459-68. PMID: 18003741
The Notch signaling pathway is involved in a wide variety of cell-fate decisions during development. The diverse behavior of Notch-activated cells is thought to depend on tissue- or cell-type-specific transcription...

Wolke U, Jezuit E, Priess J
Development . 2007 May; 134(12):2227-36. PMID: 17507392
Oocytes in the C. elegans gonad enlarge rapidly. During the stage of enlargement, they are transcriptionally quiescent, and it is not understood how they acquire large quantities of materials such...

Ooi S, Priess J, Henikoff S
PLoS Genet . 2006 Jul; 2(6):e97. PMID: 16846252
Germline chromatin undergoes dramatic remodeling events involving histone variants during the life cycle of an organism. A universal histone variant, H3.3, is incorporated at sites of active transcription throughout the...

Ciosk R, DePalma M, Priess J
Science . 2006 Feb; 311(5762):851-3. PMID: 16469927
The molecular mechanisms that maintain totipotency of the germline are not well understood. Here, we show that two conserved translational regulators, MEX-3 and GLD-1, are essential for maintaining totipotency in...

Maduro M, Hill R, Heid P, Newman-Smith E, Zhu J, Priess J, et al.
Dev Biol . 2005 Jun; 284(2):509-22. PMID: 15979606
Specification of the endoderm precursor, the E cell, in Caenorhabditis elegans requires a genomic region called the Endoderm Determining Region (EDR). We showed previously that end-1, a gene within the...

Neves A, Priess J
Dev Cell . 2005 Jun; 8(6):867-79. PMID: 15935776
Much of the patterning of early C. elegans embryos involves a series of Notch interactions that occur in rapid succession and have distinct outcomes; however, none of the targets for...
