Structured_descriptionConcise_descriptionsrf-2 was identified as a mutation that alters the surface antigenicity of the cuticle in C. elegans; srf-2 mutations show altered binding to antibodies raised against the cuticles of wild-type worms, and lectins like wheat germ agglutinin; srf-2 mutants are resistant to infection by the nematode-specific pathogen, Microbacterium nematophilum, and do not show the tail-swelling response to infection; srf-2 mutants also show an altered response to nematophagous fungi, in the form of increased susceptibility.Paper_evidenceWBPaper00001576

Disease_relevanceC. elegans is used as a model system to study bacterial adherence via biofilm formation and to identify genes in the infectious agent as well as the host that are required for infection; elegans srf genes are required for cuticle surface properties like binding to antigens, and for the adherence of bacterial pathogens like Yersinia pseduotuberculosis and Yersinia pestis via biofilms.Homo sapiensPaper_evidenceWBPaper00001706
