Fig. 4. Ray morphology in Cel-mab-5(e1290) animals rescued with various constructs. (A) CB3531, no V-rays are formed. (B) pAG4, a Cel-mab-5 cDNA rescues ray formation. (C) pAG5, a Ppa-mab-5 cDNA also rescues ray formation. (D) pAG13, an in vitro mutagenized protein containing the N-terminal arm and helix I of Cel-MAB-5 in an otherwise Cel-LIN-39 protein rescues ray formation. (E) pAG14, an in vitro mutagenized protein containing helix II of Cel-MAB-5 in an otherwise Cel-LIN-39 protein shows poor rescue of ray formation. Anterior is towards the left and dorsal is upwards.
