pubmed:abstractText
A novel mutant gene, bis-1 (bisphenol A sensitive) has been isolated in the nematode, Caenorhabditis elegans, that affects the response to endocrine disrupting chemicals (EDC). The bis-1(nx3) allele is hypersensitive to bisphenol A (BPA), is allelic to a collagen gene (col-121), and is expressed in hypodermal cells. Among the collagen mutants so far studied, bis-1(nx3), dpy-2(e8), dpy-7(e88) and dpy-10(e128) showed BPA sensitivity. The isolated mutant may work as a useful tool for the assay of EDC toxicity since the physiological effect of the collagen mutation (glycine substitution) indicates an increased sensitivity to BPA.
