RNAi against spn-2 partially suppressed the ray 1 phenotype in plx-1 mutants. Ray 1 is frequently displaced anteriorly, sometimes outside the fan, in plx-1 mutants.
RNAi against gcn-1 in plx-1 mutants suppressed the ray 1 phenotype of plx-1. Ray 1 is frequently displaced anteriorly, sometimes outside the fan, in plx-1 mutants.
"To gain insight into SMPs signaling, we conducted a screen for mutations that suppress the ray 1 phenotype in plx-1 mutants. One isolated mutation, nc40, suppressed the ray defect in plx-1 as well as that in smp-1smp-2 mutants (Fig 1D,H,I)."
