Fig. 4. Genetic interactions of unc-71 with ADAMs, integrins,
unc-6 and other signaling molecules. (A) unc-71 acts
independently of the other three C. elegans ADAMs. Percentages of
dorsal guidance defects were quantified as
Table 4. (B) Axonal
fasciculation defects in unc-71 were strongly enhanced by mutations
in ina-1 and pat-3 but not inb-1. The percentages
of fasciculation defects were quantified by counting the number of ventral
cord processes from VD3-12 that were separated from the DD ventral
cord processes, divided by 10. (C) Axonal defects in double mutants of
unc-71 with mutants in the unc-6/netrin signaling pathway.
Percentages of dorsal guidance defects were quantified as
Table 4. Bars represent
standard deviation. *P<0.001, Student's
t-test, compared with unc-71 single mutant control.
**P>0.05, Student's t-test, compared with
unc-71 single mutant control.
