  Interaction_summary: "The genetic interactions of plx-2 and mab-20 with vab-1 mutations in preventing pocket closure defects are more complex. For example, the vab-1 null mutation enhances both the plx-2 null and the mab-20 null synergistically for embryonic lethality (this enhancement is largely synthetic) (Figure 5C). By contrast, the kinase-deficient vab-1(e2) mutation enhances the embryonic lethality of the plx-2 null additively, if at all (Figure 5C), but enhances the mab-20 null synergistically. These results suggest that the kinase function of VAB-1 is redundant with the PLX-2-independent function of MAB-20, and the kinase-independent function of VAB-1 is redundant with the PLX-2-dependent function of MAB-20 in preventing pocket closure defects (see Figure 5D and Discussion)."
