From: C. elegans serine-threonine kinase KIN-29 modulates TGFβ signaling and regulates body size formation
Interaction between kin-29 and the daf-7 TGFβ-like pathway. N2 or dauered animals are not seen at 15°C or 20°C (A, B). daf-7(e1372) mutant animals form constitutive dauers at 25°C (C). kin-29 mutants can both suppress and enhance the dauer constitutive phenotype of daf-7(e1372). At 25°C, daf-7(e1372); kin-29(wk61) and daf-7(e1372); kin-29(oy39) mutants show suppression of the Daf-c phenotype while daf-7(e1372); kin-29(oy38) mutants do not (C). At 15°C and 20°C, daf-7(e1372); kin-29(oy38) mutants show an enhancement in dauer formation similar to that observed in sma-6(wk7); daf-7(e1372) animals(A, B). Additionally, daf-7(e1372); kin-29(wk61) mutants show a mild enhancement of the Daf-c daf-7 phenotype (A, B).
