Abstract excerpt
The SynMuv genes appear to be involved in providing a signal that inhibits vulval precursor cells from adopting vulval fates in Caenorhabditis elegans. One group of SynMuv genes, termed class B, includes genes encoding proteins related to the tumor suppressor Rb and RbAp48, a protein that binds Rb. Here, we provide genetic evidence that lin-13 behaves as a class B SynMuv gene. We show that null alleles of lin-13...
