Interaction_summaryDepletion of POP-1 results in the derepression of E-specific gene end-1 in the MS blastomeres (MSa and MSp) and slight repression of end-1 in the Ea and Ep blastomeres. (Figure 1)

RemarkPOP-1 represses E-specific genes, directly or indirectly, in the MS blastomere. Although similar GFP expression levels from the reporter transgene were observed in both MS and E lineages in pop-1 mutant embryos, these expression levels were significantly reduced when compared to the E-restricted expression levels in wild-type embryos. POP-1 not only represses the expression of E-specific genes in MS, but also plays a positive role in activating their expression in the E blastomere. In the absence of POP-1, these normally E-specific genes exhibit low, presumably basal, level expression in both MS and E.
