Abstract excerpt
lin-1 encodes an ETS domain transcription factor that functions downstream of a Ras/MAP kinase pathway mediating induction of the 1 degrees cell fate during vulval development in the C. elegans hermaphrodite. Mutants lacking lin-1 activity display a phenotype similar to that caused by mutations that constitutively activate let-60 Ras consistent with a model in which lin-1 is a repressor of the 1 degree fate whose...
