What are the lin-4 and lin-14 genes of C. elegans?

#Unit 5. Developmental Biology
  1. lin-4 encodes a miRNA that represses lin-14 translation, which in turn regulates the timing of larval development
  2. lin-4 and lin-14 are genes that are named for their control of the first division, and hence the lineage of the AB and P1 cells
  3. lin-4 and lin-14 are C. elegans versions of the HOX genes
  4. lin-4 and lin-14 both encode miRNAs that serve as cell-cell signaling molecules in C. elegans

In a certain enzyme-catalyzed reaction the following steps occur:

1. A phosphate group on substrate A is transferred to a side chain of an active site residue of the enzyme.

2. The dephosphorylated form of substrate A dissociates from the enzyme.

3. Substrate B enters the active site and is phosphorylated with simultaneous regeneration of the enzyme in its original form.
