Interaction_summary | The vit-2::GFP reporter is expressed in wild-type hermaphrodites, but not in wild-type males. In contrast, mab-3 mutants express the vit-2::GFP reporter at high levels in both sexes. Eliminating mab-3 activity abolishes the sex-specificity of vit promoter activity, but stage-specificity and tissue-specificity are unaffected. The misexpression of vit-2::GFP in mab-3 mutant males suggests that mab-3 regulates vitellogenin transcription. | |||
