Expression of the SPP-9P::GFP transcriptional reporter in Sma/Mab pathway mutants. The SPP-9P::GFP reporter was crossed into various Sma/Mab pathway mutants to determine the effect of the mutation on the expression level of the reporter. All exposures were of equal duration. A) Repression of the SPP-9P::GFP reporter in a wild-type animal shows little expression in the central region of the intestine, B) SPP-9P::GFP expression in a dbl-1, C) the triple mutant sma-2,3,4, D) sma-10 mutants show strong expression throughout the center of the intestine, and E) SPP-9P::GFP expression in a lon-2 mutant that overexpresses the pathway shows little expression, similar to the reporter repression seen in wild-type animals.
