Figure 3. dhc-1-Suppressing Genes.
(A) Effect of reducing the function of 49 genes on embryonic viability in the dhc-1(or195) mutant. E. coli containing the L4440 control vector produced 1.6% viable progeny at 23 °C, while the suppressor genes produced the indicated percent viable progeny when reduced in function with RNAi.
(B) Deletion and point mutation double mutants recapitulate the suppression of conditional dhc-1 alleles observed using RNA interference. Embryonic viability of wild type, dhc-1, and dhc-1 suppressor gene double mutants is displayed. The dhc-1 unc-29 strain serves as the negative control for the dhc-1 unc-29 dylt-1 strain.
