Fig. 1. Cell interactions that diversify AB descendants. (A) Four-cell and 12-cell
embryos showing cells described in the text. ABa, ABp and their descendants
each express GLP-1/Notch (green); ABp granddaughters at the 12-cell stage are
outlined in bold. (B). Lineage diagram showing the first few divisions of ABa
and ABp. Cell fates are shown in the absence of Notch signaling (
Notch) and when both the first (four cell) and second (12 cell) Notch
interactions occur (+ Notch). The fates of the ABp descendants called ABpla
and ABplp are further modified by the third and fourth Notch interactions,
respectively (see Table 1).
Signaling from MS leads to PHA-4 expression by the descendants of ABalp and
ABara, and in addition represses LAG-2 in ABara descendants.
