Abstract excerpt
An RTK-Ras-mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) signaling pathway plays a key role in vulval induction in Caenorhabditis elegans. We have previously carried out screens for suppressors of activated Ras to identify factors that play critical roles in the regulation of the pathway. ku258 was isolated as a semidominant allele that suppresses the Multivulva phenotype caused by activated let-60 ras. Our genetic and...
