Fig. 4. Enhancement of CAN migration defects by constitutively active EGL-15 and
global egl-17 expression. The CAN positions were scored and are
displayed as described in Fig.
1. (A) Global expression of egl-17 from a heat shock
promoter significantly enhanced the CAN migration defects of
vab-8(gm84). (B) A transgene expressing a constitutively activated
EGL-15(neu) enhanced vab-8(gm84) CAN migration defects,
while overexpression of wild-type egl-15 did not (P=0.39).
Strains containing the transgenes were scored in a soc-2(n1774)
background to avoid the lethality caused by constitutive EGL-15 activity.
