Fig. 5. DAF-16 negatively regulates the expression of daf-15. (A)
Semi-quantitative RT-PCR shows that expression of daf-15 is
negatively regulated by DAF-16. The control rpl-21 gene (encoding the
large ribosomal subunit L21 protein) was equally represented in both RNA
preparations. The experiment was performed three times using three independent
RNA preparations. (B) EMSA indicates DAF-16 binds specifically to the
daf-15 IRS in vitro (see text).
