Interaction_summaryWith the expression of pmp-3 set to 1, there is almost no detectable tts-1 expression in N2s or daf-2;daf-16 mutants. This is compared to an approximately 2-fold increase of expression of tts-1 over pmp-3 in the daf-2 mutants, confirming previous reports of high tts-1 expression in these mutants and also suggesting this expression is at least partly daf-16 dependent. Further qPCR results comparing the levels of tts-1 on N2 and daf-2 monosomes and polysomes reveal that compared to pmp-3, tts-1 is enriched over 12-fold in the daf-2 monosomal fraction and over 4-fold in the daf-2 polysomal fraction, with again almost no detectable tts-1 found in either fraction of the N2 strain. These data suggest that tts-1 is not only expressed at much higher levels in daf-2 mutants but also preferentially enriched on ribosomes. Fluorescent in situ hybridization analysis (FISH) with 11 different probes against tts-1 confirmed the substantially higher expression of tts-1 in daf-2 mutants compared to N2.
